There's always another way to view these things though, I remember being pissed off when Macca left but not really to do with the money more that he was great... It did stick a bit that we had money on the table the year before but he didn't fancy that move (Barca) but then you hear from the lad himself and his Mam died that year before he left, she was really ill through it and he wanted a fresh start away from the city and wanted to go abroad as he wouldn't have wanted to play against Liverpool at that point.
Now I just remember him for the things he did and the memories of great wins him and Robbie gave us, plus that league cup final performance in 95
Owen is a slightly different character but I soften to him having read from him that he wanted to try Madrid but only wanted to come back to us, he asked Perez to sort a move to us but Newcastle blew us out the water price wise and when he went there he had it written in his Newcastle contract he could leave for us for an agreed fee that reduced each year money wise but we never activated it through different circumstances
The Utd move has tainted him for me but whatever.
We're bigger than any idividual player and now I just think back at the good memories they gave me
Macca was worldy though, absolutely boss
