Did you know that Fergie almost sold him away at one stage? I think
it was in Fergie's book or report that Schmeichel almost came
to blows with him after one match and he thought his future at
United was over? but they eventually made up and Schmeichel
had to apologies to the whole team before thing became good...
I don't think it matters how good you were or are outside
United, but when in the team you have to live up to those
expectations... Barthez was a WC winner, and one of France's star
player in that tournament... They don't come any bigger than
this I think.
I dun understand why only schmeichel and van der sar seem to get
second chances when they make mistakes whether on or off field, you
have mark bosnich whose only mistake was his goal kicking was poor
before fergie dropped him and replaced him with barthez who isn't
any better goal keeping wise...and then you have tim howard who
made mistakes in a run of 2-3 games and he never plays again for
man u...but both schmeichel and van der sar has made similar
mistakes too...
