£6 million is a good price for a reserve centre-half, remembering of course that we paid nothing for him, who had served us well but was hitting the age and time of his career when both he and the club realised he had to be playing more regularly, which wasn't going to happen at United.
Pique was very unconvincing in the cup matches he played on dodgy pitches against physical sides. He played well against Drogba but it's much easier to deal with an aerial threat when your side defends as far up the pitch as Barcelona do. Pace is much more important for sides that want to defend that way, and Pique, while at United at least, was much faster than he was good in the air.
When did I say they were Man U’s first choice pairing? I merely said that it was only a couple of weeks ago due to injuries and what not that Man U were struggling to find a decent centre-back and had to resort to a finished midget right-back.
. No doubt, but it would look better on United CV if its Barca we are beating in the final.
Other than a few seasons ago for a relegated Charlton, i can't remember Bent having a better season.
My teasing of you in my previous post aside, imagine you will go through here. I can't see Arsenal shutting you out nor them scoring three, as such you should be safe, my tip for the second leg is 2-1 Arse
