  • Batistuta could score, sure, but he also missed a lot. Useless to a team like Manchester United ;)

  • Haha, whatever happened to Batistuta? He was a legend of LMA 2003 haha.

  • Comment removed

  • He signed Veron instead lol

  • Batistuta was the perfect striker. . . Ronaldo was the best player ever but Batistuta was truly THE striker everyone wished for.

  • Yes sign him up! :P

  • haha a player of Batigol's calibre would never join United, so save your breath Fergie.

  • love it lol

  • lol what a legend fergie is :D

  • batistuta could be the best choice for manchester. with beckham crosses he could score a lot goals for my opinion...

  • PRESS LIKE TO ALL THAT HATE THIS PIECE OF SHITE

  • Torres is Spanish. He could come to United. Its only fair that he plays for a good team. He has impressed at Liverpool but its his time to hit the big time now. He is a really good player and wasted on Liverpool.

  • pls fergie sign batistuta!!! if we can ever turn back the clock...

  • babtistuta would never join a team of cheating lying bastards anyway. jus something dreamed up by the manu cock suckin media

  • hup ajax hup, rood witte scharen

  • Batistuta didnt even like football

  • i remember this, was talking about it in school to my mates, and we were all hyped up at the thought of him going to UTD, because UTD was a great team already then and it was like icing on the cake if he joined, an unstoppable robot would of come alive that we all wanted to watch unfold.

  • At the time , Gabriel Batistuta was one of the best strikers in the world - i wonder why Fergie dismissed any interest in him at the time as shown in this clip.

    did he feel he was outside the asking price range ?

    did he know something about Gabriel Batistuta - a weakness , maybe a flaw in his game which would become noticeable in the EPL at that time ?

    or did G.Batistuta snub a United offer previously for an undisclosed amount which pissed off fergies united ?

    we'll never know..

  • @jaffarluvsdafeetz yes the problem with batistuta is he hates the english .

  • @jaffarluvsdafeetz during the world cup of 98 batistuta did actually agree to join man united in a meeting with ferguson in the city of st.etinne,but uniteds board of directors dident want to spend 25 million dollars on a 29 year old player..

    so we who loves Fiorentina could watch him score 58 more goales in 72 app. in serie A and eur-cups the next 2 seasons,before he went to Roma made them champions..

  • Was this when Cantona was still around?

    Those two up front would have been, well... I have to go clean myself up now.

  • He says "no" in a bit of a dissapointing "no". Ferguson is the greatest Coach ever because he achieved all his sucsses with a club that doesnt spend alot. He builds teams.

    Would've loved to see Batistuta with a great club though.

  • @kakashikillua1234 i think batistuta played with a great club

  • @crackanese23 Of course Roma is a big club (i am a die hard Roma Fan actually), but he was 31 when he moved there and only his first year was the real Batistuta, after that he began slipping. (and he didnt play any Champions League)

    What i meant is I would've Loved to see him knocking it with the big dogs in the late 90s, when he was number one in the world. (his form in France 98 was sensational). Add to that, his style was perfect for the english game cause he was a physical player.

  • @kakashikillua1234 i loved watching the way he played when he was with fiorentina too, he just a little unlucky

  • quality player, would have been decent at united,

  • Fergie also wanted to sign (fat) Ronaldo, Gullit etc. around the same time as Batigol. But what stopped him from signing these superstars was the wage demands. United couldn't afford it. Shame.

  • he's not even mocking him, what's the point?

  • Fergie ,do you know Tevez? lol

  • @casperyeah1

    Whos Tevez?

  • spare rooney

  • johnny evans is a pile of shit

  • @zomgitslaura no.

  • @casperyeah1

    Do you know Rooney ?.. TWAT

  • looks like liverpool are turning into mid table finishers again, doesnt it? they really thought they had made it, they were about to win the premiership, but no, theyre right bak own to where they were when roy evans was manager lol. haha!

  • @scrumpyjackflash

    4th mid table?

  • not 4th for long you scouse twat

  • @scrumpyjackflash

    Im not Scouse, I just know that 4th isnt mid table you dopey fucker.

  • UNITED TILL I DIE.

  • United till I die

    the fact is united are bigger than liverpool in every way

    you scousers clearly know fuck all, half your team is fucking spanish

    wait till we pass ye out this season in league titles

    ye wont even get 4th :L:L:L

  • Sorry, you think of 30 million on shrek is a bad buy? I really sometimes wonder whether your so Jelous that you believe these things your saying. In 3 years - 2 Champion league finals, one league cup, 2 community shields, club world cup , and oh yeah, 3 premierships in a row, not to mention 11 overall, the treble, 2 doubles, and 11 f.a. cups. What a future as well (welbeck, evans, gibson, macheda, ben amos, rafael and fabio) .

    torres must be thinking of leaving if you dont get 4th -

  • @jackheaney What a cunt you look.  One year on and Welbeck, Evans, Gibson, Macheda and Amos all look fucking shit.

  • @LawsonB7860 Ahh, a typical knee-jerk reacting fan who thinks that all young players with potential should be world beaters when they're 20. Fucking idiot. Oh and if l look like such a 'cunt' (as you so elegantly put it) then why has my comment STILL got, oh, 10 thumbs up?

  • @jackheaney No, I don't. I can however see when a player won't make it at one of the biggest clubs in the World. Open your eyes for fuck sake. Who gives a shit about thumbs up? They'll just be from some mindless blind faithers.

  • @LawsonB7860 Give them a chance is all i'm saying. Ben Amos had one game, and let in two goals that most goalkeepers would. I hardly think that utd are going to fall into 'mid-table obscurity' because of a few bad performances by young players.

  • @LawsonB7860 Look at how people wrote off Nani, he's showed that when on form, he can be a truly influential player. Same with Macheda, he needs more match time and same with a few others. Do you actually think that in 10 years time the reserves and young players will be the ONLY ones playing for United? Have you never heard of the transfer market? If the players in question haven't progressed in a year, i'll put my hands up and admit you're right. But the christ sake, give them a chance.

  • @jackheaney Nani always had the talent though, just needed to mature as a footballer, which he half has. We're talking about five or so players here, that's potentially half of a future side and with Man U not exactly spending the money they desperately need to on new players, the future looks bleak. I couldn't really care less whether they progress or not as like I've said, I have no association with Utd. I will come back and hold my hands up though if they turn out to be important players.

  • @LawsonB7860 How do Gibson and Amos look shit you absolute half-wit? Amos has had one game and Gibson has scored some amazing goals, just needs to work on his passing. Macheda has already shown what he can do, it all probably happened a bit too early for him and admittedly Evans hasn't had the best of seasons but he can still turn into a great player. Though you are an armchair fan, i suppose.

  • @jack heaney Armchair fan? No, I have no association with Man Utd. If Macheda hadn't scored that goal against Villa then he'd be an absolute nothing. Gibson's got a good long shot, wow, hardly the next Paul Scholes is he. Evans is average and would've been better off moving to Sunderland permanently. Amos had one game...and was fuckin' atrocious. If that's the future of Man Utd then I'll piss myself laughing watching them fall into mid-table obscurity.

  • ahahhahahahhahahahahhahahaha

    FORZA VIOLA!!

  • Fergie aint trying to make out he is a bad player ya clowns! He ha just been asked if he is a potential target an he wasnt! No big deal ya. Stop slagging the greatest manager in history off! lol

  • I'm glad that Batistuta didn't go to Man United, not because I hate them or anything but he is one player whose style does not fit in the English game in my opinion. He would had even ended up like Shevchenko was at Chelsea if that move was made. Neither him nor Shevchenko fit in the English game. When Juan Veron joined Man United in 2001 he flopped down the plughole and any players who styles do not fit in the English game often flop. I kind of guessed that with Shevchenko.

  • lol. Batistuta is the BEST.

  • u clowns are all taking bout everythin else besides the subject of the video..but all u man utd fans(and im one too),the question i ask is this..imagine if we had signed batistuta at his prime..he woulda been absolute bagain..he woulda cost around what..10-maybe 15million quid? now compare that to the 30 million we payed for berbatov...

  • Fuck off Ferguscum you old bastard 5th place for you this season ans some Incontinence pants you old git.

    4-1 2-1 Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

  • shit its a bin dipper

  • senile old git

  • Haha, is your prediction accurace at the moment?

  • Accurace no i dont speak dumb manc.

  • Oh don't be so pedantic over a typing error, the fact remains that we're top and you're something like 8th. Horrible start to the season for you, with no signs of improving.

  • Oh don't be so pedantic fact is we fucked your shit team up once again 2-0 you filthy manc bastard

  • Liverpool still number 1 and thats a fact

    Shhhhhhhhhh.

    2-1 4-1 2-0 Shhhhhhhhhhhh.hehehe.

  • Urm no, I think if you'll consult the factual league table you'll see that Chelsea are top, closely followed by United.

  • We where talking about trophy's, keep up dumb shit.

  • Oh well if we're still talking about trophies then United are miles ahead based on the last 5, 10, 15, 20 or 25 years. Stop clinging to your past glory. You'll never re-live it

  • 177 games between Man Utd & Crappypool. We've won 67. Crappypool's won 61. 49 draws! That's a fact! TELL EVERYONE!!!!! Ha ha ha ha!

  • 2-1 sHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  • Okay maybe youhave beat united 3 times in a row, Each game united have been of form.

    The last 11 meetings, 7 wins to united, 3 to liverpool and 1 draw, say somthign at all?

    And go on tell me about how you have won the champions league 5 times.

    But i'll tel you one thing 11 premierships 1 triple and a double, well doesn't that say alot?

    Oh and i forgot 11 Premierships, without sacking anyone.

    And go on try and call me a glory hunter, Because your jelous.

    Not missed one home game this season.

  • 1) maybe ? no fact.

    2)Yeah it says we had to buils a team now its built we fucking all over you.

    3) No not really when you bought them with 700 million pounds.

    4) Jelous no lol 2-0 Shhhh Fact

  • Hmm, lmao

    Don't start talking about facts.

    We didn't buy them as you buy all your players, if you noticed, united bring alot of player through the acadmy were as liverpool jus bum of the greasy spaniards.

    2-0 yeah, united played shit.

    But where are you in the league, FACT.

  • Why Not ?

    Funny how our acadamy better than your we smashed you this season FACT with 10 men

    Ferguson just wastes money 30 millions pound on shit players like Berbaflop

    30, million on shreck

    19 million on Nani

    19 million aderson

    18 Carrick

    20 million Hargreaves

    All acadamy players are they ?

    Just shut the fuck up go back to London

  • nicely said shauny

    you show them scouse (jealous) bastards what true passionate supporters deserve at such a prestigous club

    MUFC TIL I DIE

  • Thanks:)

    Nice to have some feed bank of united fans

    Was begining to think i had no one with my back:).

  • you talk about utd being off form it dont matter about form its how you play on the day so dont say that bullshit tosser

  • No, we were of form, which is how we played om the day, Use your brain?

    And what have you gained 1 win out of 10?

    7th?

    UNITED T.I.D

  • im just curious what year this was....batistuta was a an amazing player until around 2002

  • 1997

  • journalist: ok Fergie....no Batistuta...and Tevez ??

    Ferggie: We are gonna let him go to City...we dont want to win the next premier..

    Ferggie---->Are u taking ur pills?? =)))

  • I'm sorry but I don't know whats going on in this video -_-

    can someone explain it to me?

  • he was aked to clarify United wont be signing Gabriel Batistuta, so he did.

    A waste of 14 seconds if you ask me

  • Your either scouse or just plain stupid.

  • how's that funny

  • ok why is this funny/intresting or something?

  • Is Ferguson still interested in signing Batistuta? He's a great marksman,worthy addition to the squad.

  • he will dream about bati every day

    forza bati <3

  • shut up u loser

  • 18+5 = class...... gay boy +fake tan+hair gel+tutu= ronaldo .LIVERPOOL FC FOR LIFE

  • must be shit bein runners up yeah?haha muppet

  • must be... thats why gay boy ronaldo is gone to spain is it? Barcelona showed that pony up for what he is.. diving cheating cunt with no respect .. the utd way tho ain't it?

  • ha ha a scouse fan talking about form? when was the last time you won the league? how many times have you won the european cup in the last 10 years?

  • you're a dickhead mate. ask that question 2 years ago and the answer was the same as man u. living in the past mate? what happened this year? where's your ronaldo gone? i'm not a liverpool fan by the way.

  • Ok. 2 years ago united and liverpool had both won it once in the last 10 years. But at the PRESENT, united have won it twice in the last 10 years. How am I living in the PAST when YOU are the one saying go back 2 years?! If you're going to condradict yourself, at least try and spread it out over several post's, don't do it in one single post! And this year? We won the league, the league cup and got to the European cup final.

  • what the hell is "post's." one of these people who tries to use educated language to undermine the "opponent," but you failed because you actually look a bigger knob now. and erm, living in the past, haven't you just mentioned all of last season's trophies, as well as real's lack of success? i think so. look to the future. no ronaldo, plus david villa, and kaka, its easy to see why ronaldo wanted out in the end. the champ league final showed united to be a one dimensional football team .....

  • and barca were a class apart. real will probably push them all the way next year, and with some of city's targets (again, the future), it's not inconceivable that man city finish above united. is berbatov gonna justify his ridiculous price tag and finally step up? doubt it. also, at the PRESENT liverpool have won 5 european cups compared to united's 4. just thought i'd whack that statistic in, seeing as the last decade appears so important to you. let's look at the bigger picture. bye bye united

  • If, as you say, the last decade was so important to me, why would I care about Liverpool winning European Cup's in the 80's? And now that last season is over, we can no longer talk about it?! Haha, ok. I won't talk about the very latest English football. And please pinpoint where I commented on Real's lack of success. A one-dimensional team? How bad must the other English clubs be if a one-dimensional team cam win the league? And I'm sorry, my incorrect use of a comma does not indicate

  • my attempted use of 'educated language' to undermine the 'opponent'. lol. Please try again.

  • haha well it does, for the simple reason that it's an apostrophe not a comma. a mistake pinpointing your own mistake, shame. and the reference to their lack of success, or at least a point of weakness, would be the "6-2" barca-real match LAST season. how would you describe united's performance in the champ league final? they ran out of ideas, and were outclasses. now they're minus tevez and cristina, they won't retain the title. i bet you're a "united fan" living in london, unaware of what ...

  • *OUTCLASSED.

  • old trafford looks like on the inside, as a result of your lack of attendance. a tenner says you don't even live in manchester, you're a glory boy. a glory boy for now at least, 'cos united won't be rolling in silverwear in the next few years (reference to the future)...

  • lol if you're going to attempt to undermine my points by pointing out mistakes in grammar, try not to make them yourself. And one bad result does not a lack of success make, you came to that conclusion all by yourself. I live in Salford and have done my whole life, and have had a season ticket for 16 years, up until 2 years ago, when it was no longer financially possible. And please don't make assumptions about the future, after you wrongly accused me of talking about the past.

  • lol grammar mistakes where? and i didn't wrongly accuse you of talking about the past you dick, re-read what you wrote. anyways, whatever, enjoy watching united finish 2nd in that armchair of yours mate.

  • I wrote that United had won it twice in the last 10 years, and you said stop living in the past, go back 2 years! You misspelled a word. I rarely point out spelling mistakes, but I felt I had to after you mocked my misuse of an apostrophe. And if United finish second, I will have the good sense to say a better team finished first, since the winner of the premiership is the best team in England over a season. For the last 3 seasons it has been United. Oops, there's me living in the past again!

  • City Finish above Utd?? Are you for real?? Berba will come into his own next season, with Ronnie gone I think we'll now play less on the counter attack and poss slightly higher up the pitch with Rooney in behind the front two. Berba will come good, you don't become a bad player overnight. The guy amazing skill on the ball and his control is second to none.

    Many great players have not found their form immediately after joining a new team, watch berba go next season.

  • whaat yh u are right but we dont want berbatof hez ona the guys we want gon he annoys me and hes lazy,, louis nani is who should come into his own next season he has the potential 2 be best in the world

  • To be fair its not like he was arriving from a foreign league like Van Nistelrooy and Torres, its not like he had to adjust to the PL, he simply went from being a good player in an average team to an average player in a good team... His transfer fee was ridiculous and he didnt handle the pressure that came with it.

    Will he improve next season? Possibly. Will he justify £30m? No.

    Owen will probably completely over-shadow him

  • @sajiduk oh dear......bit out on that prediction weren`t you

  • @dstacey102 you know what? he'll prob move to another club and completely smash it again, like he did at Spurs. The guy is complete class but for some inexplicable reason he's just not performing for us. There have been a handful of games where he's played very well but he's let us down big time.

  • @sajiduk More like watch Berba go this season haha

  • @sajiduk Well said. I personally didn't like Berba last season. I was wondering why Utd hadn't sold him, but I'm glad they didn't. This season he has truly shined. His hat-trick against Liverpool was amazing! I hope to see more of him in the future.

  • I have ommited the WCC because people will just say it is a plastic competition. And where has Ronaldo gone? If you're going to try and have a conversation about football, at least have up to date information. To save you having to look it up, I will tell you. He has gone to Real Madrid (a Spanish football club), who last month got beat 6-2 by Barca. However, I can't blame Ronaldo, as it has been his life dream to play for them, and he was a wonderful servant to Man Utd. Cheers.

  • seriously dude i prefer l'pool over utd but i wounldn't talk about form V class if u wana slate utd - l'pool just had a lucky season, chelsea will be back on it next year and you be back to 3rd/4th

  • where are united now? sky news said ronaldo is going back to spain with barcrelona.. ha can get the bus to madrid... m utd. a team of gay boys and divers.. utd win everything my arse.. LIVERPOOLFC FOR LIFE

  • united have had a terrible season in terms of playing good football, yet even when we've had such a season, and liverpool have, admittedley, played some brilliant football, they have still finished second to us.

    where are united now? we are the champions of england, after playing, by our standard, bad football

    liverpool have a team of really hard working, versatile players, and until they sign some flair players to balance out their squad, they will continue to wait for the league

  • United win everything where da fuck are scouse fuking liverpool who murder chelsea fans yet the police do nutting! 2 months ago and chelsea supporter was tied up and bricked to death in liverpool! fuking skum ! torres is an affrodite

  • wots an affrodite? fucking idiot.

  • Batistuta would have been a legend at United, One of the all time great strikers in my opinion!

  • and top scorer of argentina national team

  • how old is this clip?

  • Oh i forgot hypocrite as well you arrogant jock twat

  • idiot

  • Twat

  • shut the fuck up,who is top of the league?yes man united yet again.jealouse scouse TWAT!!!

  • u realli r a retard. man utd are betta than every club batistuta played 4. he was arguably finest striker of his generation but was neva realli at a top, top side when they were consistently winnin stuff

  • no your moms a retard having you,how are manure the best club in the world when you lost to Liverpool twice 4-1 2-1 dont need the history i know who batistuta was and he was to good to play for an arrogant twat.and a shit club.

  • we finished top in the league we r in the champions league final and we won the club world cup how on earth r we not best team in the world.... fucking idiot

  • can u read? at wat pt did i say man u are the best team in the world.

  • lol

  • Batistuta was another cheating foreign cunt that would have fitted in well at Utd.

    Thats why Shearer never signed for the manc twats, too honest a player for those ref conning bastards

  • sour grapes walshy

  • Yep and the truth hurts

  • haha the only truth hear is that your a bitter cunt who is as jealous as every other united 'hater'

  • Don't hate any team for their sucess, long as they play an honest game. Its the cheating, ref conning and other tricks the "big4" think they've a god given right to be allowed to do.

    And by the way I dislke the scousers as much for moaning about something that happened 20 years ago. Nearly as many died at Bradford , but Yorkshire folk don't make wallowing in their own self pity a life time ambition

  • fuck off shearer was a dirty basterd too!

  • You'd have loved him though, pity he had more morals than to sign for you.

  • Im not a manc! not that many utd suppoters are.... shearer was a dirty bastard but yeah i would have loved him to play for us... the Chelsea!

    Your right yorkshire men dont moan about football, just about unemployment and foreigners.. oh and farming.

  • Had a good record against Chelsea did Shearer. Remembering him smashing his 100th Blackburn goal past Hitchcock at Ewood. That was on our way to us buying the Premiership in 94/95. Thought I'd get that in before you did about buying a title! But we spent a hell of a lot less to buy ours than Utd , Arsenal and your boys did.

    Hughes was genius for both clubs though. Well regarded at Chelsea too , even still I hear?

    Yep I admit Shearer was handy enough with his elbows&winning a penalty or 2!

  • Hitchcock! i think he was doing golie training till about 2000/01 lol..

    we speant a lot but the team that one the title under mourinho were all more or less frm the buyin spree of ranieri... respect to mouriho for taking a good team he didnt choose and turn em into champs. Sparky is a legand for me. true fighter, excellent pro, gifted player, tough but always fair. was hoping we would have him as manager instead of scolari.. still want him. definatly a long term investment in management terms

  • yes but i know for a fact that he would swap his "morals" for as many medals as giggs (",)

  • I hope you suffer a heart attack and die.

  • Well, I suppose I shouldn't argue that this is anything but a "classic" coming from Taggart. Totally shows why the media love him this clip - he barely says "no" and it's a "classic". Can't begin to imagine the praise had he subjected us all to his legendary wit...

  • Batistuta was the shit

  • Gabriel Batistuta, I would've loved to have seen him in the Premier League.

  • you piss off moron. the man above tried to sign shearer twice while batistuta practically begged man utd to make a bid for him while he was still in florence. says a lot dont you think. idiot. there's only one alan shearer!!!

  • So United wanted to sign Shearer that makes him better? Teams don't sign players because they are better they sign them because they fit into thier teams. .Batistua will be forever a legend he got Fiorentina back to Seria A won Seria A with Roma by himself.

  • You fucking idiot. Piss off please you have no knowledge of football, yes Shearer was a great player but Bati-gol was on another level awesome.

  • Ronaldau is going back to Sportingg bigtime moma what u say now ??

  • who's ronaldau? ive herd of Ronaldo never this ronaldau do

  • hes from norway

  • Lot's of Portugese players plying their trade in the Norway league are there?

  • yes very its nice

  • who ever thinks batistuta isint better then ronaldo obviously doesnt know shit about soccer!! Ronaldo got hurt all the fucking time wheres the consistency!?!? I bet Wkaliber is brazilian thats why hes on ronaldo side... and yeah bati is the best striker of the 90s... at least top 5... LEAST!!

  • second only to the great Marco Van Basten

  • fergie was looking at her tits only probs is is takes 6 mins for it to rise now jaja fucking awesome he is

  • Batistuta? more like Cuntistuta

  • Listen, thats not needed... Fergie gave a simple response... why do people blow everything out the window.

    And Batistuta was one of the greatest strikers in the last 20 yrs!

  • Batistuta?

    The best striker of the 1990s?

    Good one, mate, fucking good one.

  • You mean fat Ronny the tub of lard?

    Being Brazilian, he hit his peak at 23 and has been woeful ever since.

    Viva el Batigol!!!

  • hmmm- Ronaldo played for PSV,Inter, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Milan

    Batistuta player for ummm Fiorentina and Roma

    pffft!

    Ronaldo was the top scorer at the World Cup TWICE

    Batistuta wasnt,even once

    You dont know what you're talking about

  • hes sik m8

  • Hmmm

    Ronaldo was overweight and played appallingly for Inter, Madrid and Milan.

    Batistuta is the all time leading scorer for Argentina, and set the Serie A record for scoring in most consecutive games.

    You don't know what you're talking about.

  • Ronaldo averaged almost a goal a game at Milan and then got a knee injury... He won champions league titles with Real and was fantastic for Inter. Batistuta hasn't won shit.

  • Ronaldo had ONE season at Inter that wasn't plagued with injury; that's consistent!

    And you're saying Serie A is "shit"?

    I'd like to see you score the goals el Batigol scored in that league.

  • Ronaldo was brilliant for madrid look up Man utd v madrid 4-3 tht will prove it
