Fabio was looking forward to life in West London
United’s Brazillian full back Fabio Da Silva has joined West Londoners Queen’s Park Rangers on a season long loan deal.
The youngster will link up with former Red Mark Hughes at Loftus Road in what is surely an attempt to try and give Fabio some much needed experience which will hopefully see his game develop.
A few years ago, Fabio was deemed good enough to start a Champions League final against the mighty Barcelona, yet in the last campaign he had to settle for a paltry five Premier League appearances.
Fabio hasn’t been helped by an injury record that would make even Michael Owen blush, well maybe that’s a bit harsh, but he has spent an awful lot of his career so far on the treatment table.
I’ve long been an advocate of sending our youngsters to Premier League clubs for several reasons:
1. That’s the league we want them to play in so it makes more sense than shifting them abroad.
2. If they’re good enough to make it at United, then even at a young age they should be good enough for lower Premier League clubs.
3. On occasion it can even give us an advantage when we play these sides as all of a sudden a key player for them, who they’re used to having and rely upon is no longer available. Cleverley at Wigan, Howard at Everton – I know he’d signed a permanent deal but it was the same principle in 2007.
4. It keeps them nearby -ish so they don’t get too unsettled.
I’ve always claimed that I don’t blame QPR for City’s title win last season- I don’t- we blew it, they deserved it, I can live with that no matter how many Blues ram it down my throat. That stance however doesn’t mean I’m particularly fond of the West London club or want to see them look after some of our prized-assets.
It’s not just the fact that rent-a-pillock Joey Barton will eventually share the same dressing room as an impressionable young player. There’s Kiko Macheda making less than two hours worth of appearances for QPR in the Premier League while on loan last season.
Let’s not forget the sight of QPR fans celebrating City’s winner AGAINST THEIR OWN TEAM in what must surely rank as the saddest display of sychophancy any visiting fans have ever shown a home side.
QPR could be the ideal place for a youngster who needs to not only try and improve physically but also learn his craft, but as shown with our previous loanee to Loftus Road, it doesn’t always work out that way.
Am I being bitter? Are QPR the perfect club for young Fabio to try and prove himself at? Answers on a brick through the usual window please.
well said r sole
well well well worst players at euro 2012 in england shirts just happened to be man utd players what a surprise.i think they are a club in decline..
jay …anyone can mock something like that up.but even if it is real blame your diving cheating shithead ashley young.why should we show any allegance to a team that cheated us
Mecheda played like a headless puppy chasing a ball. Fabio will get his chance and will have to earn a place which is why Fergie has sanctioned the move. You blew the title so stop bitching. If you had loaned us a man instead of a pup we would have kept the lead despite ‘mad dog’ Barton catching rabbiez
No QPR fan would ever celebrate us losing, it was purely the FACT WE ALREADY KNEW Bolton had only drawn and we STAY UP.
We wanted a UTD win at Wigan to help us and you LOST to them which was the start of Wigan,s good run,im still gutted we actually lost that match but come on guys, AT LEAST WE ALMOST DID IT FOR YOU, MOST PEOPLE SAID WE WOULD LOSE 6 OR 7 NIL !!
What a bitter little man you are! You really think QPR or ANY of our fans gave a monkeys who won the title?We were celebrating staying up,which is patently obvious to any PROPER footy fan.Get back in your box and unless you can think of anything relevant to say,I would suggest you stay there….
Oh and your crappy website can’t even print the correct photo…….jokers!
then why hell are you wandering around on united forums like a disgruntled ghost looking for a thrashing…piss off to ur own shit holes you wankers
The reason so many QPR fans replied to the original idiotic post was because it came through to other sites.If people insist on writing crap then we have the right to reply,which most of us can do without resorting to foul language and abusive language.
Why is the picture in this article of Rory McIlroy????
Btw, R’s fans were celebrating two fold. firstly, because of the Ashley Young dive that got Dezza sent of at your place and secondly the fact that the result didn’t matter at that point. We were up.
u lost.u cheat.u somehow get fergie time when required.ur the second team in your city of 2.the best team won.we will develop your talented player. cant wait to congratulate ashley on a fine season and even better euro 12 at loftus road
uuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrsssssssss
man am i glad young dived now to win that penalty after seeing how pissed off qpr fans are, what a lovely bunch of whingers you are.
i do hope that you guys go down next season cos there is no way you deserved to stay up. you don’t deserve a player like fabio and its only cos sparky is your coach that he is going there.
i hope you like it in the championship where tony fernandes will prb strip you down to bare bones to make up for lost revenue and then sell your club like the cheap whore that it is.
make no mistake fernandes is not the businessman that he is without making unpopular choices
Ooooh you are bitter aren’t you. How are we gonna end up in Div 1?
I was at old trafford, the best moment in a match ruined by a Bolton supporter (ref – fact, and it didn’t work any way) was when surrey’s finest started singing ‘stand up for the champions’ and we did, and joined in. It was a while before a lot of ’em got it… but when they did they stopped doing it.
Remember that when you play Reading next season, Guildford boys, don’t join in, cos only one team in the stadium will be champions this time…
🙂
Don’t know why I bother coming back to this blog.
Arrogant, ill-informed (even got a picture of a golfer purporting to be Fabio FFS!!).
Offensive pile of of shite that’s an embarrassment to Man U fans. Of course QPR fans were cheering – they stayed up by the skin of their teeth.
We blew it in the previous weeks – our squad wasn’t good enough – frankly I was surprised we finished second.
OK, Barton’s a twat, but good luck to QPR and Sparky next season.
