selling him is not much of an surprised but selling Henize was..
Henize was very much at ease playing as their left back...
Selling Heinze was never a surprise... Because before Evra came
along, he was the first choice but having lost his place to Evra
and sitting on the bench for one whole season was too
much for him to take when he knew he was still able to play 1st
team.
Heinze, unlike Silvestre (who has been on the bench
for the past 3 yrs) wasn't prepared to sit on the bench
any longer having experienced one... And the thought of Evra being
around and spending another season on the bench was too much
for him...
The unfortunate thing for Heinze was he was
much slower to Evra... And in the EPL, speed is very
important... And Evra also brought a more attacking approach
to their squad... Selling him was no surprise at all... Afterall,
Silvestre and O'shea was still around then. Silvestre on the other
hand has done a good job for United despite not playing much in the
last 3 yrs and he hardly complain.
