I thought he said in an interview he wasn't a Spurs fan? Just a Hoddle fan. /sorry for going OT
Márcio Santos.Wasn't there a shit hot Brazilian defender (santos?) who agreed to join us after 94 World Cup only for Fiorentina to swoop in at the last minute?
Yeah that's the one. Think they offered him a date with Sharon Stone cause the owner knew her.Márcio Santos.
I agreeAsk Harry, it was his preferred choice over Suarez and Cavani even though both of them together would have cost the same as Carroll...
I believe we had already past on him before Liverpool were an option (before Chelsea bid for Torres).I agree
But seeing as Liverpool beat us to signing Carroll and had previously beat us to Cole I really can't see any reason to believe we would have won the race to sign Suarez against them at that time even had Harry and his scouts made him the priority
Also, Carroll didn't chose Liverpool over us, we had a bid rejected, they bed 10m more and was accepted.I agree

Lol, I thought I had heard them all.Yeah that's the one. Think they offered him a date with Sharon Stone cause the owner knew her.
They beat us to signing him because they were prepared to pay more and the 100k a week they put it on suggests to me that even had Carroll had to choose between us directly he'd have made the same choice as ColeAlso, Carroll didn't chose Liverpool over us, we had a bid rejected, they bed 10m more and was accepted.
Carroll was on 80k at Liverpool not over 100k. He may have chose them over us, but I feel the amount of wages we would have offered for him & Suarez would have been the same or very similar and the directions the 2 clubs were going at that time, as well as the players both clubs have, I'm confident he & Suarez would have chosen us over Liverpool. Cole only chose Liverpool over us due to our rivalry with Chelsea & West Ham. I decision which he admits he regrets.They beat us to signing him because they were prepared to pay more and the 100k a week they put it on suggests to me that even had Carroll had to choose between us directly he'd have made the same choice as Cole
As for Suarez, I remember him being talked about by Liverpool fans long before they signed him or sold Torres because of their own ITK and whatever fan forum talk (same as ours) at the same time we were being linked to Him.
It makes me think they were monitoring him same as we were at them times and even if we hadn't passed on him and made the bid Liverpool would have competed with us and as with Cole and Carroll I think we'd have lost
I really don't think we'd have been able to sign Suarez even if we'd made a bid - Liverpool were always over spending at that time even before they were flush from Torres's sale
I believe we had already past on him before Liverpool were an option (before Chelsea bid for Torres).
CL? We would have challenged for the title with that team.We did, Harry said he couldn't play up front on his own.
Fuck could you imagine if we hadn't been fucking idiots and we signed Suarez for 25 million.
---Sandro--Modric
Lennon--VDV--Bale
--------Suarez
We would have been playing in the CL every damn season.
