Bring One Player

[CTID Hants]

Definitely the 23-year-old Anelka we bought in 2002. He was amazing.

Crazy to think he spent his best years playing for our shit side back then, Bolton and Fenerbahce. His brother and agent was a bigger wally than Kane's is. Actually, maybe not. He got to line his pockets while Nico was carted between teams well beneath his level.

That’s mental - I didn’t realise he was that young when we signed him. He’d been around forever before coming to us. He had a good stint at Chelsea as well after us.

I'd completely forgotten about Nico. Why on earth did he ever sign for us? Was there really nobody else who would have him?

Before us he had a reputation for getting under the skin of managers regardless of how well he did on the pitch, Fernabache move iirc was to do with him finding Islam (again?) and wanting to play in a Muslim country.

I think ADVT, both his brothers managed/rinsed him together.

Great player loved watching him play for us too

I raise you, Danny Granville.

I'll see your Danny Granville and raise you Jamie Pollock

Have to ask if he tracks back like Darius Martin Clarke Vassell?

Keegan. Most of the decent players we got signed for us because of Keegan. Liverpool had just had Anelka on loan and instead of signing him perm, they made the mistake of going for Diouf. Which meant Keegan could talk Anelka in to joining us.

From what I have seen and read about Keegan, I've always thought he'd make a pretty good director of football. He was quite the salesman and very likable. You can see why good players wanted to sign for him. If I recall correctly, he showed Anelka the medals he won as a player, told him that he could have medals like these with what we're building and that we were reaching for the stars by signing other great players so we can really compete at the top. It didn't quite work out that way, but he did manage to convince quite a few top names at the time to come play for us.

Agreed re Keegan's abilites, but it did nearly bankrupt us.

Perhaps scout rather than Dof?
