Players we sold too soon.

The thing with Anichebe is I doubt anyone on here would have refused a £6m bid for him.

It was an awesome price.

Same with 10mil for rodwell, tbh.

I just wish we could afford to keep good players on the bench. We're so thin in squad depth because we can't turn down bids for our squad members.

I'd go so far as to say we don't miss Rodwell or Anichebe.

We missed Rodwell every time Gibson got injured and we had no defensive midfielder in the team so played Neville alongside osman.

James Vaughan?

James Vaughan?

Before we bought jelavic, when our strike force was fellaini, cahill and a saha who'd mentally retired three year earlier, I was wishing we still had beckford and vaughan around, tbh.

Pienaar.

Pienaar.

See your point, could make the same argument for Ferguson.

Richard Dunne.

 

[St Domingos 1878]

Been watching since the 80s so here goes...

80s Andy Gray, Gary Lineker, Trevor Steven.

90s Stuart McCall, Peter Beardsley, Duncan Ferguson (1st time), Marco Matterazi.

00s onwards Wayne Rooney, Thomas Gravesen, Tim Cahill.

Terrible shouts on Andy Johnson and Jack Rodwell by the way. Sold at top money and have done nothing since.

I also had no problem with Arteta going for £10m. He offered very, very little in blue after the Newcastle injury. Unfortunately, a different player in red.

Richard Dunne.

Good shout, this.

I LOVE him, but wasn't he injured for 6 months of the 2 years he was there?

It was 6 months laid up with a broken heart

John Ruddy

I think he's ****. Such an overrated Goalkeeper, I'd of said hold on for longer, to get a bigger fee, but how would anyone of known??
