    Lewin Nyatanga was okay when he returned to Oakwell, unlike Lloyd
    Isgrove who was a bit of a disaster when he came back

    Other than Adam can’t think of any that were a success. Think these two will be fine though. Lukaku was a kid when he left and has gone back a world class centre forward. Don’t think people will expect Ronaldo to be the flying winger he was before but he’ll score tons of goals.

    Agree. Even a diminished Ronnie was better than anyone else in his position at the club. He should have had a job for life at Oakwell after he came back from Portugal but was allowed to leave after playing only seven more games for the Reds. He did come back a third time, in 2003, as a coach under Gudjon Thordarson but that was short-lived as well. Imagine the knowledge that he could have passed on to generations of young players. Such a waste, or maybe Ronnie just chose not to pursue a coaching career?

    United fans are embarrassing. I mean the arm chair fans are. Seriously wish pain on them so much

    For me, it's hardly a law of physics. If a Head Coach decides he wants to bring in a player who has previously played for us, then fair enough. In our case, we've had the likes of Barrowclough, Nardiello & Hammill that have worked out very well. Whilst others, such as Banks & Currie haven't. I'd be over the moon to see us re-sign John Stones, less so with Emmanuel Frimpong.

    I can't answer that. After all, my memory isn't as sharp as I think it is, according to Spider. :)
