Or tried to buy him when he was leaving, as it’s impossible to prevent, no matter how good the scouting team is.
We should do a Sol Campbell move every once in a while. I know he was free, but in general I mean.
He went for 25M in 2004. Not sure we would have had the cash to have even got a seat at the table for that deal.
That’s a good point yeah, it would’ve been more expensive than Cisse, so who knows if it was even doable financially. And Everton might have decided categorically not to sell to us.
Not sure about that, we signed Nick Barmby and Adel Xavier direct from them.

I know, but it’s also very rare.
For example, Heinze potentially coming to us from United, when they blocked him from doing so. That’s what I meant.
Rooney is also a whole different level to all mentioned.

Takumi will be able to count on the support of the entire Club throughout his recovery.
Courage Taki, we’re with you.

Did he not realise he left Liverpool?

I’m not surprised players get injured if they have to play 32 rounds.
Get well soon

He is spot on with that post.
Yes, he made some fucked up decisions in the past, but post retirement, he has shown a level of care and empathy for the fans and for the working class that puts a lot of other ex-pros to shame.

I have always liked Stan. He made some major/unforgiveable mistakes in many eyes, but there is a great humanitarian in him, when he talks about football and the world. He is intelligent politically and he understands the ordinary people. I think he has redeemed himself. He still gets so much horrible racist abuse on social media by ignorant football fans. It is awful.

Some considered it a masterstroke by Milan at the time.
22/23: 36 games for Milan, 2 goals.
23/24: 22 games for Forest, 1 goal.
24/25: no football.
25/26 so far: no football.
All that between his age of 27 to 30.
