Please read our Please read ourFootball managers love a cliche. One of the most ridiculous among hundreds of contenders is that old chestnut: “Getting him back is like signing a new player.”
On January 25, 1995, Eric Cantona launched his kung-fu attack on a foul-mouthed Crystal Palace fan at Selhurst Park. A subsequent ban meant the Frenchman didn’t play again until October 1 that year, having missed the second half of one season and six weeks of the next. A few days more than eight months in all.
So much for ancient history. Leap forward three decades and consider what might happen when our very own “Carlos Kickaball”, in the memorable words of Alan Michael Sugar, dons the black-and-white stripes in anger soon after his 10-month ban ends on August 27 this year. However, before our Italian stallion was punished by his nation’s football authority last October, a worldwide ban endorsed by FIFA, he had shown enough to suggest he could be the sort of midfield playmaker that United will need to mount a serious challenge for the big honours.
Conversely, he will have spent more than a year with his current teammates by the time he plays again. And here’s another silver lining: if he is as good as some pundits believe he might have shone so brightly last season that the five-year contract with United would have simply forced up his sell-on price in the next transfer window.
However, with that club I shall not name essentially taking our place in Europe some of the midfielders might have played their last game for United. A couple could be shown the door, while one or two Toon aces may view the coming season with less than 100% enthusiasm now it has been shorn of European exposure.
