His signing will prove to be the biggest single transfer that moved the power from the scum to us. Not just the fact that it broke their hearts - or the fact that he chose us...
Imagine he was still at United - he would have taken over from Rooney over the last 8 months at least. Baconface knows he has his tireless talisman that could play for another 5 or six years at the top of his game and also that he just spent 25m and he's now worth double that. He'd have Rooney out like a flash for 50m (for a couple of decent players) and United would still challenge, no doubt.
Except he chose us, and whilst we've weakened United's squad, more importantly, we took what would have been United's best option since Rooney's decline... and, in turn, their best chance at continuing to challenge in the future.
He was my dream signing at the time and he's the biggest reason (by some way) that we are now considered to be title challengers.
So yes, I do love him.
