Unless you have some proof, you don't know either of those things to be true at all.

If your house was constantly looking like sinking you'd probably blame the person who laid the foundations.

Lorient turned down £10m and £12m before accepting the higher bid.
Iirc the line about their president being gobsmacked by the fee was in some mag publication.

It's depressing that a fair few of them would be key players for us even now

Suppose we will find out in a few months if he signs, I hope you're right

By the same score you don't know they aren't true and that's what the rumours were at the time. Again, don't let me take away the stick everyone's wanting to beat the club up with though.

I'm not the one stating them as facts though.
Do you have any proof?
Edit. I'm not looking to beat the club. I'd love them both to be true.

Well there are very few things we can prove which are obviously private matters so asking for proof on the Kaboul transfer is a bit unrealistic. All I'm trying to do is as some balance and the news articles at the time do fit the rumours. As for M'Vila - same again but I suppose we'll find out sooner or later won't we?

I'm inclined to think the Kaboul thing was as a result of him not wanting to play for Moyes and possibly linked to M'Vila not coming back, as I'm inclined to think M'Vila's not coming back. I could be wrong on both counts but experience has taught me to expect the worse with this club as that's what we usually get and it is marginally less painful than expecting the best and being disappointed. Both are equally soul destroying. If you know different, fair play, please feel free to pm me any info you have and it will go no further.

Sums up my disdain for moyes perfectly.
He had to buy M'vila..... and a right back (could've actually bought Yedlin)
And the team would've been the same as it was.
We had a brutally awful transfer window.

Doesn't seem to want to play for his new team either - has only managed one game so far!

Looking at that list as someone who took no interest in Sunderland at the time there probably isn't one player who furthered his career after signing for Sunderland. A terrible bit of transfer dealing.

He'd played the last 3 times I've watched Watford

Can't be bothered to read through the whole thread. Keane had to pay over the odds for a lot of players purely to attract them to sign. he kept us up, and this is the longest we've been in the top division for many a year. Overall, money well spent. The problem is too much chopping and changing since he left.

That's 2 seasons you plank
Keane did a fantastic job
Moyes is an idiot
Get rid he's finished

Bah - I had been looking at an un updated stat...He'd played the last 3 times I've watched Watford
And some people are ignoring the thrust of the argument which is about how the club is much thriftier than it was a decade ago.

That team would beat the current team.
What they lacked in ability they made up for in effort and desire. Never seen a team of ours score so many late goals.

He had a smaller shareholding - 30 per cent or so
