↑This is a post from 2010.............we can buy players with the right attitude.We just need good scouts.
I think despite all the names i have mentioned the player that harry shud look to get is Luis Suarez ... he is sensational
Thats the guy I would go for too!
I would also like Diego Costa and let both of them add a little South American magic to our forward line.
This was May 2010.
We could have bought Costa for less than £3m and Suarez for less than £20m.
Yeah but that goes back to my earlier point (though Suarez was a special case as it seems we thought we couldn't fit him into the team) - at those points in time we can sign 'better' players than these. So we frequently do.
If you were manager, would you really chose a young Costa over Soldado in his prime? If you avoid signing a big name player most fans will be furious because in theory they would have been great successes - even though we know that's not always the case.
To his credit, Redknapp bought the right players in that Jan transfer window, it wasn't a case of him just galvalising what was already there (other than the first 4 games). He brought in Palacious, who added some much needed steel into the midfield to toughen us up a bit and brought back Defoe, Chimbonda and Keane who all knew the team the culture and Keane was very competitive and determined and a huge influence off the pitch.
I didn't go into it too much, but I did intend to say that adding a few key players is one of the ways you can galvanize our talented but lacklustre squad.
