You're right, of course, but they were all reasonably priced.
Barry cost a nominal fee after about £1m
Phil Neville cost £3.5m
Tarks was a free transfer
English players in their late 20s are fine (and actually we could do with one or two more...
hopefully this one is just an agent trying to drum up business for his player, linking us with 35 year old Michail Anthonio on a free. I cant see that to be honest, the fact he is still recovering from a broken leg after that car crash 6 months...
Agreed. Scholes and Xavi were hardly the most athletic. It’s about having a blend of attributes in the team and lack of pace in one player can be overcome by positioning and anticipation.
I agree to an extent. I think people get hung up on the things we lack in a physical sense because they're so used to what we lack in a technical sense being the norm and feel like we need the physical stuff to get around that. It does obviously...

I guess Chermiti was unlucky to pick up an injury in the worst moment for him that set him out for several months. He looked very promising the few games before.
I won’t labour the point, but I hate the way our recovery is said to be so far away that it’s going to take 500 billion pound to resolve and won’t occur for at least another five years. Meanwhile, Villa and Forest have somehow managed to eclipse...
Honestly, if we buy him , I don’t care how much he costs nor who we pay to secure his services.
Just care about whether he will be a boss player for us and help us win games and trophies.
