Players we were deffo not going to sign

[honourablegeorge]

I repeatedly dismissed the Chiesa links as. nonsense, thought he was too old, injured and expensive for us to even consider.

Never thought we'd actually sign Paul Ince

Couldn't believe we bought Andy Carroll.

Went pretty much exactly as I thought it would.

He wasn't awful per se. 

But when our competitors were signing players like Overmars, Klinsmann, Ginola, Dahlin, juninho, zola, vialli around the same time, replacing Barnes and Collymore with Leonhardsen and Riedle was just so f***ing uninspired.

I had forgotten Cole ever existed as a footballer until he was a studio guest during the LC game on some stream or other. Better than Messi me harris.

Collymore had to go, he was bordering on toxic.
