Been superb for Chelsea today- if only we'd spent that 4 million eh?

Anyone hear Conte threatening to kill him whilst they were 3-0 up?

At the start of pre-season after his loan spell Fiorentina wanted a few million for him. We did our usual trick of refusing to pay up for proven quality and after a few weeks training they decided they wanted to keep him. We then spent half that amount on PVA who is a about one tenth the left back Alonso is. Realistically we should have bought both of them given Alonso can also play on the left of a back three.
Another great example of our fantastic recruitment at work. Oh, and Poyet was desperate for him to come back...but no, it's all down to the managers apparently.
Then Bain comes out with "We need to sign young players and sell them on"....well, we'd have got about 24m for this one if it hadn't been scuppered by upper management, is that the sort of thing he's suggesting?
This f***ing club. If they let the managers do their job and were willing to spend based on quality not some bizarre idea of value which is clearly broken then we might not be in this mess.

Where did this £4m myth come from?

Why did you have to do it and Bring Marcos up... why? dont you think this week end has been bad enough.
I thought it was double that, hence why we didn't want to pay it. He wasn't that good.

He wasn't worth 8 million? He's at Chelsea now who are far better than us ...

Exactly.
IIRC most people seemed in agreement that he wasn't worth the fees quoted. "Too slow" I think it was.
It's amazing what needing a stick to beat the club with does to someone's opinion.

It was around 8 iirc , absolute bargain still .

He's improved since he left us mind.
He was very slow and kept getting beat by the right winger. We conceded loads of goals through crosses down his side

Did he even want to come back? He was playing in Europe for Fiorentina...

As far as your other post goes I didn't see many people saying that 8 million was to much ? At the time I thought 8 million was fair due to his age and how well he'd played for us .Well of course it seems like a bargain after Chelsea have just paid ~£20m for him

That summer we spent 15m and lost 15 players. We had to buy a whole new side, we had to go for PVA who was half the price in order to fill the holes in the other positions. When the budget is what it is then these are the results you get.

Aye, he was a young player with loads to learn but a great set of skills and a lot of potential to improve. Exactly the sort of player we should be singing and the type we never do.
