How dare they criticise the mini magician Dominguez?!

And Postiga will come good- just be patient...
Replace Postiga with Soldado and Dominguez with Lamela and there you have it..

I'm surprised that the bloke in your avatar wasn't on the list.

£2.3m was a lot to us back then, and not even cynical journos can remember him!

I remember him fondly as a pass master (Lol..). Ahhh the folly of youth, I look back at some of those players, Saib included, with a lot of misguided happiness.

saha? harsh.

i guess that is as much to do with the context of the signing, we're in a position to really kick on and make a statement perhaps cementing ourselves as challengers....sign Saha and Nelsen. Because he actually wasn't a bad player when you look objectively.

I thought he was alright, for a older freebie.

He was a victim of Redknapp's eye-off-the-job phase between Capello resigning and Woy getting the job


Also, he showed his quality in Ledley's testimonial. Quality player hampered by injury

Ah yes, back in the old Championship Manager 97/98 days where the difficulty was immense with a squad full of players like Tramezzani, Baarsen, Saib, Taricco and Clemence.

What a joy Bakayoko turned into. lol

Just saw the first one - John Scales - does him being badly hit by injury make it a bad transfer or just unfortunate? Seems a bit harsh. Anyway, does anyone round here remember David Jenkins? Not one of Billy Nick's best signings, to say the least.

Up to now, it has got to be Bentley.
Bentley fucked himself buy wearing those new fangled snub nosed puma kings at the time that were super curved at the toe.

You couldn't get under the ball properly with them like the original kings. They are awful, still got 'em only worn a few times. fucked his game/confidence.

Note you don't see many football boots like that now with such a high rounded toe end.

Putting Fryers in there when he hardly played, was never particularly awful, and was sold for what he was bought for seems rather unfair.

Never knew that; but I've always not liked him as my idea of a winger is someone like Cliff Jones, or at least in the Jimmy Neighbour mould.

Said it at the time as I had a pair and you just cannot shape the ball at all with them, they are a total disaster. They make every cross a lottery.

Watched him time and again when he took corners and crosses how hit and miss they were.

Wasn't my favourite footballer at all but I felt a bit for him tbf. He did fuck about too much as well by his own admission.
