Already justifying his fee
Tiago Bebe Was A Superb Buy For Manchester United. I have to praise the signing of this young starlet who is hotly tipped to have a bright future at Manchester United.
The stats speak for themselves. In 7 appearances for Manchester United, 3 of which were starts, Bebe has scored 2 goals this season. That is a strike rate of around 29% for the highly rated right winger. This stat is definitely highlighted more when you consider Nani, the Manchester United Player’s Player of the Year 2011, has a strike rate which only stands at 17.5%.
In addition to this, the transfer price of £7.5million is seen as a complete bargain to me if compared to Fernando Torres, the £50million hitman who has made 17 appearances for Chelsea yielding only 1 solitary goal. I would be so bold as to say that Bebe is probably Manchester United’s best buy since the signing of Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez. The Homeless World Cup’s player of the tournament has also scored a goal in the most prestigious tournament in Europe, the Champions League, helping Manchester United set up a meeting with Barcelona at Wembley.
Touted as a star of the future, his star has definitely been shining in Europe’s premier competition where he has outscored both Fernando Torres and fellow Manchester United teammate Michael Owen having made only 1 substitute appearance for a meagre half an hour in the tournament. He has also scored more goals than Steven Gerrard and Carlos Tevez in this seasons Champions League, a major feat in itself.
I do feel that Sir Alex Ferguson has a big decision on his hands soon with the Blackpool game coming up. However tempted he may be to play Bebe on Sunday afternoon, I feel he will be hard pressed to rest him for the final of the Champions League. Such an occasion could surely only bring out the best in Bebe… and Obertan and Gibson. He was only just pipped to the finishing line for Manchester United’s reserve player of the year award by the promising Oliver Gill. I can only put that down to sheer bad luck for Tiago Bebe, something that has been following him for a large proportion of his life.
In Novemeber of last year I remember that Goal.com ran an article on their website that “Bebe Is Proving Too Fast And Too Strong Not To Make A Name For Himself At Manchester United.” Personally I am tempted to agree. In the very few appearances that he has made this season he has excelled and I can only predict that due to his raw footballing talent, once shaped into a Michaelangelo-esque statue, he can only get better and better. The world is his oyster.
That is distasteful, your blogs are shit
It seems to have attracted you! What does that say about you?
A team went to buy a 50million statue n accident in waiting defender and they are nt of it bt rather talkin of ma BEBE. Dey sould give tankx to the rain n it is not goin to rain against Everaton
Brilliant article. Hard to pick a flaw in those stats lol
Ha worst player i have ever seen in a Utd shirt. End of.
You know there was a player in 1887, I cant recall his name, erm Billy …..something he played 2 games…..He was not so great either!
50 comments later… much traffic to the site… lots of opinion.
Excellent piece of work!
Couldn’t agree more! He’s Redflagflyinghigh’s very own Chicharito!
are u for real man,a few games and now he is de best, will u cop on and write something with a bit of sense ,u stupid person..
I think its really disappointing when a so called United fan writes a sarcastic piece like this. Give the lad a chance. He is a youngster. He wasnt bought to set the world alight. Yes his transfer fee was high but so what? I really dont know why you would waste your time to write stuff like this unless its purely motivated to court controversy and garner hits to the website. Really poor
I hope Bebe never plays for us again,apart from playing with his head down the lad cant cross,trap,pass or play a ball,what a silly buy he was,him and Obertan should ship out to ciddy for 60 million!
this is obviously a sarcastic comment. I wouldn’t really mind if this writer is not a man utd fan, though.
Haha – a great read – made even more comical by those who’s reading abilities are below that of the national average and don’t understand anything other than the headline (if they’ve read beyond that).
Personally I know Bebe isn’t ready yet, but I know he’s not shit either. Time will tell – he’ll either get in the team, or leave a better player than when he came, with a future in football.
