Yes.
He was only about £5m, which although at the time in 1999 wasn't a small fee, it wasn't huge either. I think we had maybe a dozen or more signings for a bigger fee than that at the time. He was a centre half, an area we weren't short in either.

Joelinton was £40m, it was double our previous transfer record. He's absolutely crap, if we were to sell him we would be lucky to get £8m for him. We signed Joselu from Stoke for £5m and I think Joselu is better. It's a terrible signing. He isn't good at anything. Obviously he's a better player than me, but I reckon there's league one or even league two players better than him.
He's been a total disaster. He's not a centre forward but was signed as one, and even as a wide player he's average at best. When he does something not totally shit, it looks like he's having a decent game because of how bad he is.
Not his fault the fee was £40m, but because of the size of the fee vs what we've had from it, I'd say that makes him the worst signing we've ever made.
A recent comparable fee.... Jota to Liverpool for £41m. Obviously there's no chance we could have signed Jota, but there's a certain standard you should expect for £40m. Joelinton isn't even a £10m player

Must say when we were PL, this competition is the last thing I gave a shit about tbh and wouldn’t have been added if we lost to league two crap in the first round frankly. I’d be surprised if the mags felt any different and if any of them lost any sleep over it. They may be more concerned by yet another poor performance mind (according to reports)

I take it you never went to the semi or final in 2014 then. Shame you missed two really good experiences.

And yet we were 45 minutes away from this competition giving us our biggest win in 40 years. If/when we ever get back to the Prem this trophy represents a great opportunity.

When he missed, did he drop to his knees with his hands in the air looking desperately for sympathy from the ref.... then walk away shaking his head in disbelief?

Seems to be his standard reaction when he doesn't get his way
