Scott Parker is the absolute epitome of London ponce! NT

We qualified for Europe and he chose to join Newcastle who offered him more money... Moyes bought his second choice for the role who had been on loan for the second half of the season before - Arteta. I think it worked out best for us.
I thought Arteta would have been first choice. Did we not buy Phil Neville shortly afterwards
 
Rumour is the PL have just burst into the Fulham boardroom and said something along the lines of:
“We’re very sorry but it turns out Brentford actually won the playoff final not you guys so we’re afraid you’re back to the Championship. On a side note if you ever accidentally win the play offs again we advise you to actually attempt to stay in the league and put some planning and effort in”.

You would've thought so.

They are different type of player's, Parker more of a workhorse, Arteta creative.

My memory fails me but we probably did sign Neville that transfer window.

We finished fourth so I was surprised that Parker choose a Souness led Newcastle. There and West Ham he won plenty of plaudits but nothing else. He would've played European football with us in a few season's, perhaps bringing him more attention. He was highly rated at Charlton, didn't feature much for a successful Chelsea side.

I feel like I know a bit too much about his career reading that back! I think he would've been a decent player for us at the time, but he's hardly the one who got away.
