Sir Alex Ferguson has always been tough to predict in the transfer market, he's capable of
securing transfer deals that seemed incredibly unlikely, unexpected, genius, or sometimes,
baffling. From Henrik Larsson to Chicharito to Gabriel Obertan and Bébé, there's usually
something from way out in left field.

A consistent pattern is revealing amongst the young players at Manchester United: they're
awarded limited minutes on the field, sold, transform into first team players elsewhere and then
Alex Ferguson admits regret. The manager normally makes the right decision having released a
combination of international players who failed to attain their hype or potential, that list
includes the likes of Manucho, Dong Fangzhuo, Markus Neumayr, Rodrigo Possebon, and Madds Timm.
"Nicky Butt, Nicky Butt, Nicky Nicky Butt, na na na na na na na na!" Manchester United fans have
been singing since the 90's. The KC and the Sunshine Band tune enjoyed a resurgence in our ground a
couple of years ago when Rodrigo Possebon was on the scene.
Arsenal fans have now adopted the song for Samir Nasri, or, Naseri as the song would have you
believe.
