Who did we go for, but didn't get?

Postby Dingus McDouchey » Wed Aug 18, 2010 10:12 pm

was just thinking that there weren't any big names that we were publicly in for, that we didn't sign.
our completion ratio was obviously very high.
who do you think we were in for, but missed out on?

Maicon?
Dzeko?
Berbatov wins golden boot, spends following season on the bench while his team loses title on goal difference. Well played, Fergie.

I think those are the ones and I also think we had some discussions about Ibrahimovic and David Luiz.

I have a funny feeling we'll see one more signing before the window closes. Personally I think we need another centerback.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

I think we probably have looked at both & wouldn't rule out either still arriving. I suppose the future of Robinho, Jo & RSC is the key to that. In theory we'd have 2 empty PL squad places if they went, 3 if we assume MJ won't be ready til new Year.

Me. I wanted 80,000 a week but that prick Marwood wouldn't budge over 50,000. I came home.

I think we had a lot of 'pre-discussions' like the tour of Spain by Cookie's gang and later of Italy. Marks out who will sell who, who's going for who etc. Saves a lot of embarrassment and allows us to sign Silva while Taggart is still drinking whiskey in a bar in Puerto Banus.
