Kingdom Bhoy · 11th September 2010, 07:02 AM

In todays Northern Echo Brucesy has been monotoring Gyan for 3 years having first watched him play for his country v Senegal at Millwall.

Bruce said " I tried 12 months ago for Gyan but we opted for Darren Bent because he had played in the PL"

In January he thought he had him for £8 million and we tried to sell Jones to Liverpool for £12. The Jones deal fell through as they only wanted him on loan. Wuith the world cup his proice has gone up and we have had to sell Jones cheap as he didn't wan to be here.

True. He's been stung before paying ridiculous prices for players (Marlon King at five million anyone?) and the good ones learn from it.
