I wish everybody would stop trying to make SAF the villain and claiming Ruud is such a victim in all of this. Hes asked to leave the club 3 times, he got dropped for the league cup final because Saha had played throughout it all and deserved to be there. This was a justified decision because Saha scored in the final. Ruud then acted like a little kid and this affected his playing quality on the field, he was dropped because of these poor half assed peformances, and this was justified. Saha kept playing well, and Man Utd had a good second half of the season where Saha played great. Ruud then was dropped for the Charlton game because he mocked Ronaldo with reference to his late father in team training, yet SAF still protected Ruud and didn't directly reveal this, by just saying "He wanted the team together, and team spirit to be good."
Ruud goes on to act like a little kid to a greater extent, he goes to the world cup and gets dropped there for the same mediocrity on the field. He then comes back, SAF publicly says he still wants him at the club, even rejecting multiple bids for him. Ruud then asks for his transfer from the club with a written request, previously only asking for a transfer through his agent.
So hold on a minute, its Fergie pushing Ruud out of the club? Even if he was, I wouldn't care since it seems Ruud doesn't even try to peform for the club anymore. Goodbye Ruud, thanks for everything, he was once my favourite player, but his heart obviously wasn't in it for the club anymore, I hope he does well at Real when the transfer eventually happens.
