Essien - one of best dmc/cm's before his two awful (about a year out) injuries.
Bale - went on to be the most expensive player ever, made a name of himself playing for non top 4 team.
Ramsey - one of best cm's in epl this year, arguably the player who progressed the most so far this season
Robben - few ups and downs but still one of the best wingers in Bundesliga(he's truely selfish but still..)
Shearer - #1 EPL Goalscorer of all time.
Hard to see how they would be any better if they have joined united.The reality is when there is competitive market(with City, Chelsea, PSG, Barca, Real even Liverpool, Tottenham etc.) very few players would pick the sinking ship before any of those teams.Ferguson is not there, there isn't neither sign of stability or United being competitive, even the top 4 spot is not a sure thing and players are not keen to take this risk even if the name is still up there as brand.This could be changed in two ways - 1st - win, win win, 2nd - spent like crazy, overspent on players and giving them a way higher salaries than those they earn now.
shearer is a legend, rejected man utd to play for his home town club newcastle united
