it's not about him being more loyal than others, it's about him being loyal to arsenal which he has proven he is

All i said was he's not that loyal when all the Arsenal fans were going on about how loyal he is. My point is that he doesn't deserve that much credit for being loyal because he's no more loyal than a lot of players who don't get credit

Hello, I've only just found this thread and I have something to say!

Guess who are champions once again!!!

And after all that money you spent, Chelsea!!! Did you really think you could keep us down for long? And come Saturday, we'll give you a Double dose of pain!

Ballack and Shevchenko were a waste of money!!

Enjoy while it lasts my friend. Fact of the matter is its gonna be much harder for United to defend the trophy than it was to win it. We will be back next season with a fully fit squad (hopefully). Although the Champions League is still gonna be first priority.

I dont know about Sheva but I'm very confident Ballack will make you eat your words.

I really think you are confused. End of the day Henry is a great player playing for one of England's better clubs.

I would think Shevchenko will depart over the summer and maybe a return to the San Siro i am sure the AC Milan fans would love to see him back. Ballack showed glimpses of his skill this season but never played to that level on a consistant basis. I reckon that Chelsea will keep him for another season though.

Sheva is staying at Chelsea i can bet on that, No club will pay Chelsea the same amount of money at which they bought him at and i can kind of sense he will have a good season next year if not great...

Arsenal better bring in some experience and quality players if they want to atleast win something... Halo its been 2 years in a row now please stop murdering it

I think its much too early to write off Shev and Ballack, there are almost endless examples of players who didn't do well in their first season in English football but ended out as cracking signings.

How am i confused,the fact he's playing at a big club makes it even easier to be loyal,more money. Ryan Giggs doesn't get half the credit for being loyal but hes far more loyal than Henry. He's been at 1 club all his career

[Cough]24 trophies[/Cough]

Who would leave? Whereas, Henry has had 2 trophiless seasons at Arsenal but has stil committed himself.

 

[Leicester Fox]

cough 150K cough a whole team built around you cough get me some medicine Giggs went through a horrible spell at united where we were wining very little and he was actually getting booed by some of the fans (the idiots that don't like Fergie I'd imagine) with loads of speculation linking him to Italy yet he chose to stay at united

 

[Will_NA]

[Cough] Sneeze [/Cough]

I don't care how loyal Giggs is. The point is that Henry is loyal which is what I have been trying to prove.

 

[Leicester Fox]

I never siad he wasn't loyal i just said he wasn't that loyal and i don't think he is that loyal,obviously t depends what you think the word that means but what i meant by it is that he's not so loyal he deserves more credit than Giggs,Ronaldo etc

 

[Will_NA]

Ronaldo? He's been at Man U for only 2 and a half years!

 

[Leicester Fox]

and been under just as much transfer specualtion as Henry in that time,if not more. With,far more reasons and pressure to leave as well

He was much closer to leaving though......

 

[hassan]

why are we on about players being loyal or what.. Yeah Giggs is loyal so what? Loyality doesnt see money or anything, if you are loyal than you are loyal simple as that

And you seriously think that we won't be strengthening our (already excellent) squad too?

Do you remember what happened to the last team that bought the title? That's right, it was Blackburn Rovers, wasn't it? And where did they end up a few short years later? The Championship, wasn't it? Sent down by US!
Roman won't tolerate your inability to win the Champions League forever you know! If you don't win it soon, he'll be off and he will take his money with him! You'll be left with a crippling players salary bill to pay that you won't be able to afford.

The only reason Chelski are doing so well is Roman's money. Everyone knows that, whereas most of Man Utd's success was down to bringing young players through, with a few more experienced (or not, in Rooney and Ronaldo's case) purchases to help things along! I mean, seriously! Beckham, The Neville Brothers, Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes all coming through in the same season! That won't be matched for quite some time!

Can anyone really see Chelski bringing a whole load of youngsters through and winning the Double? Not just the League, but the Double as well!

Also, it's all very well for Mourinho to label Ronaldo a diver who will ruin the FA Cup Final, but what about Drogba, Mr 'Special One'? He falls over as soon as someone breathes on him and he's a bigger lad than Ronaldo is!

Oh by the way, Mourinho:

You're not special,
You're not special,
You're not special anymore!
You're not special anymore!

I don't think Sheva has got that lethal burst of pace that he once had. I doubt if he'll ever adapt to the Premiership and wouldn't be surprised to see him move back to Italy in the summer.
