Please stay off the thread in future.

Experiment/low risk high reward???

SAF looks like a genius when these signing works like Chicharito, but i am sure if Chicha flopped we would have said the same thing " What were they thinking."

SAF never watched Bebe play before he signed him

Paying £8m is not really a 'low risk'.

Man United wanted to buy a tehnically gifted player, a speedster. Bebe played well before he came to United and Ferguson thought he has the chance to develop this guy's skills and maybe make him a new #7. Maybe he thought he can use him in many positions on the field, to take advantage of his polyvalence (which polyvalence? ) . Bebe is normally a forward.

Something happened, he failed, we failed, everybody failed. It happens very rarely at Manchester United.

for the same reason madrid paid 30mil for coentrao, to make Mendes money

I believe there is something about this transfer that we don't know

Iturbe conspiracy theory

Because that mofo Queroz(sp?) duped us. That's why.
