If we sign Pedroza, then four of our last five signings were all free, considering Bentley's loan fee paid for Pienaar. But I love how we're going to double our record signing on Rossi. Remember, nobody more than 9 million since Defoe/Wilson (who are both deadwood now).

Is Pedroza going to be another Khumalo? Buy him for dirt cheap, loan him out to a couple of clubs then try to sell him for a bit of profit? I call it player trafficking.
or will he get a place in the squad and look like starting?


from what i've been told, we're taking a punt on a promising player who's far from ready. he'll be loaned out and we'll see what comes of it. similar to khumalo but younger and with less international experience. at worst we'll sell him on at a profit, yes. that's the idea anyway.

I love how a bloody good player who plays for a poor to mid table side is akways automatically deemed not good enough by you lot. I suppose Sheringham was rubbish for Utd after signing from mid table spurs. Lampards been such a donkey for Chelsea after signing from WHam. Gudjohnsen and Duff did fuck all for them too. And what bad signings Lennon, Bale, Dawson, Carrick, Robinson, Defoe, Kanoute and now Rose have all been after signing from lower leagues, so even worse clubs than mid table prem. I suppose you were all jumping for joy when we just missed out on Le Tissier too?

Some players belong at poorer clubs. We should've never signed Thatcher, Perry, Pienaar, etc. Some players, the ones who actually flourish despite their mediocre shackles, are clearly good enough to rub shoulders with the big fish. Should we sign N'Zogbia, he would challenge our current creative players, wide and central, for a starting spot. I guess he isn't expensive enough for some people though.

Little known fact is Le tissier actually signed a contract for us... something happened our end though and the deal fell through... He was talking about it on sky sports saying he signed the contract and it went into our safe...

From what I understood, Le Tissier was signed and sealed and then HE had a change of heart and tore up the contract himself?

I was under the impression that he asked us to not enforce the contract because his wife didn't want to come to London
