If he stays at United and plays for another 10 years, scores about 20 goals a season.... 10 x 20....
Michel04 said:
Doubt he will score an average of 20 a season, when you take into account injuries as well.
If he stays for another 10 years, he should reach 200 though.
Got to say, looking at that list, what about RVN! Thats some some tally considering how long he was here. Bodes well for rooney too.
Rooney could become the clubs alll time scorer
He has age on his side
He has age on his side
Rooney and Ronaldo, if they stay as long as we should expect them to, could easily be somewhere near the top pf that list...

I don't expect Ronaldo to stay for long
He will do he will stay longer than most people think
Its all paper talk
Its all paper talk

Nothing to do with the paper talk.
I've said since he joined us that he won't be staying at OT for long. He will want to play for Real Madrid or Barca sooner rather than later.
I reckon next season will be his last at OT.
Been gazing into the old crystal ball again, Cnut?

Peaked.
Wont make top 40 at this rate.

Oh feck. He's off then. Those things are usually spot on.
Going off the topic a little bit, that list of top 50 scorers you posted, it makes one wonder, doesn't it. What if Bestie had not gone one more benders than jinxing runs, where would he be on that list?
Hope Paul Scholes will score 151 goals for us
Suresh said:
Considering Best's United career was more or less over at 25-26, he would most probably have had close to 100 more goals if he'd applied himself properly and played at United until he was 30.
CnutOfAllCnuts said:
That would have been something.
Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuud
Amazing that 3 of the top 4 played together. Feck that was an awesome team.
ManUinOz said:
I envy those who got to see them regularly...
Also, 15 of the 50 players are from Sir Alex's time as the manager.
10 goals for Mik Silvestre is impressing.
Man-United said:
No it isn't
CnutOfAllCnuts said:
I was lucky enough to see Best, Law and Charlton. i envy those who saw the babes.
Those ten years older than me saw the babes but missed out on the great side just after the war....... and so on.

Old cnut!
CnutOfAllCnuts said:
why not?
Man-United said:
He's played 350 games for us. That's a goal every 35 games.
What's impressive about that?
CnutOfAllCnuts said:
ok then, I thought he only has played 200 games or so. He scored two goals in the same match against Liverpool in 2004 I think, that's impressing!
CnutOfAllCnuts said:
Playing 350 games is impressive. 35 would have been better.
Man-United said:ok then, I thought he only has played 200 games or so. He scored two goals in the same match against Liverpool in 2004 I think, that's impressing!
Started 318 games, made 31 sub appearances
Only Giggs, Neville, Scholes and Solskjaer have played more United games than Silvestre from the current squad.

That brace makes him a legend of sorts. Very Forlan-esque.
Giggs - 695 games
Neville - 532
Scholes - 517
Solskjaer - 352
Silvestre - 349
Brown - 233
O'Shea - 228
Ferdinand - 197
The only players who have played more than 180 United games
Neville - 532
Scholes - 517
Solskjaer - 352
Silvestre - 349
Brown - 233
O'Shea - 228

CnutOfAllCnuts said:Old cnut!
Yeah. I wish I had seen twenty years more United but was twenty years younger.
Suresh said:That brace makes him a legend of sorts. Very Forlan-esque.
agree, after those two goals, Silvestre was my favourite United player for a few months
And he's still one of my favourite because he won the game for us that night, and O'Shea scored an OG.
CnutOfAllCnuts said:
how many of those did he play as the last 10 min sub?
CnutOfAllCnuts said:
didn't think Rio had so may games, because of his 8 month ban. If he stays fit he should go for 500 I think.
He's 29 this year, but will probably play five or six seasons at least until he quit.
