I'm sure Arsenal fans were sorry to see Pires, Campbell, Bergkamp & Lauren all go. Ok Bergkamp is 38 years old but again so is Maldini. Lauren & Campbell had tons of experience and Pires I think was Arsenal's biggest loss last summer. I'm sure Chelsea are kicking themselves over William Gallas now, he was Chelsea's best performer in defence and getting rid of him was proberly the reason why Chelsea lost the title. No doubt Crespo hated it in England so you can't really complain about that one. Man United sold Ruud Van Nisterooy and I think that has been their blow this season towards the Champions League and the FA Cup because Man Utd have made loads of chances this season but sometimes they are not there to finish off. It's goals galore for Ruud in Madrid now! For Liverpool most fans would of been sorry to see Owen go, he was our 20+ goal a season striker in the league but yet again our league performance without him is better, don't know much about Alou Diarra.. did we let him go on a free? What about your team: What players are you sorry to go?
Well, actually the biggest loss has been Vieira. He had the midfield presence, Fabregas is just begining to look good, but viera was finished product for us and very defensive. The second player that hurt us the most, it would be Pires definetly. Chelsea look weak without gallas, he is more mature and expirienced than cashley.
Viera because he still had some talent left in him. Bergkamp was retired so you can't really call that letting go. Reyes has amazing potential just too bad he was a major fag and didn't want to leave spain
Im not sorry to see Ruud go, he has a bad attitude and a big ego. But im sry to see Keane, Stam and Butt go
Ruud was a big loss for United. Celtic's Biggest lost was probably Larsson and now its going to be Lennon he hold the team together.
Keane for his inspiration through the years Beckham for his service and being a brilliant winger Ruud Van Nistelrooy for his poaching Big Jaap Stam
Keane left to play for his the team he wanted to play with (Celtic) And Stam and RVN were because of problems with Fergie and maybe we will see a few other players leave because of Fergie in the future.
i would of been sorry to see ruud go if ronaldo didnt score 23 goals! alot of people would of been so angry with fergi for not replacing ruud.. but thankfully that wasnt the case Chelsea mised gudjonson because he was a brilliant player.. his link up play was immense! Liverpool miss Owen IMO because he scored goals! Arsenal miss Veria & Pires
I was gutted to see Keane go, especially in the circumstances he went too, but he was the only person in the club, players or otherwise, that had the guts to say what needed to be said. I was sad to see Diego Forlan go as well. He was a superb player but was just never given the opportunity to be the spearhead of the attack as that had to go to Egonistelrooy. He was also an absolute legend (He came from Uruguay, he made the Scousers cry) and all-round nice guy. Jaap Stam and Ruud were purely down to attitude. Ruud thought he was bigger than Ronaldo when it was an easy choice between the most exciting emerging talent in world football or a bloke with dodgy knees and an ego. Jaap should never have said the things he did in his book and he must've knwon that there would be major repercussions because of it. I was also quite sad to see Phil Neville go. He's got to be one of the most versatile players in the premiership and we missed him for a while because he just plugged gaps all over the field. Was really weird seing him lining up in Everton colours for the first time against United. I'm undecided as to whether I missed Beckham or not. On the one hand, he was a superb crosser and passer of the ball and gave his all a lot of the time. But on the other, he was far too caught up in his off-the-field crap with Posh and when that started affecting his attitude and form, it really was time for him to go. Getting hit with the boot by Fergie was just bad luck on Sir Alex's part. If it had been anyone else, it would have been swept under the carpet and no one would have cared, but because it hit Beckham in the face, his livelihood, it was all over the papers and blown out of all proportion. We got a fat chunk of cash from Madrid in the end and Beckham's form since he left has been streaky at best, so I'd say he's missed somewhat on the field, but off the field? United need him and the media circus that follows him like they need a hole in the head.
