I'd take tyhe 2 million quid if it is offered all day long. He truly is garbage (as a footballer I mean, I'm not personally slurring him or anything before the real fans give me a kicking).

Without a doubt. Looked dodgy from the first moment we saw him. I can't imagine he looked much better in Italy to be honest. The crazy thing is it didn't take Rafa long to realise it himself but it was a bit late by then. SURELY Rafa was taking some poor scouting advice on this one? I'm not sure how many times he would have seen him play.

He will always have that clut status for those 2 games against Madrid and Utd but aside from that he is one of the biggest flops of recent times. I also heard his sale will fund a move for Arda Turan. Fingers crossed...

Funny you mention that, giving the spending over the past few years what actually leads you to think we don't have the money to spend on players? Name one player that we could have gotten over the past few seasons, where money has kept us out of the running.

Don't even bother going down the Villa/Silva road, Valencia have stated repeatedly that they will not sell either of them.

Ryan Babel gets my vote Mick - it's a close thing but the £11.5M swings the vote
in the nasty rapper's verdict.

Well to name a few from the last couple of years...

I believe we missed out on Vidic whom we were initially in for before utd. The most we could pay was 6mil and we eventually ended up going for Agger.

We also missed out on Jack Wilshere who of course is now at Arsenal and will probably go onto become a top top player.

There was of course Gareth Barry too first time round. I'm sure there were others too that we are not aware of.

Bav, I really respect you views but to bring up Barry, well, that's just off the mark. Considering the fact that Barry's price was lower than the price that was payed for Robbie Keane, well, I think that shows that money was not a factor (in regards to having enough to spend).

And as far as Wilshire, didn't that come down to him thinking he'd have a better chance at first team at Arsenal?

The fact that his price was lower than Keane means nothing mate. We recently found out that Rafas plan was to buy both Keane and Barry so assuming he was able to he would have purchased them both anyway.

Im not sure about the details of Wilshire but I do know we were in negotiations for him and Arsenal came in at the last minute and bid higher than us.

It 's sort of funny that the best debate to happen in the Dossena thread has nothing to do with the player himself.

I firmly believe that Rafa has had his fair share of money to spend in the past (Not Crazy City Money). I just think it's been spent poorly, take for instance, Diego, he wanted to go to a Great Club that was in the CL, Werder sold him for 15 million to Juve, this was before the 18 mill was spent on Johnson.

I don't know what other thread we could discuss this in but, well,

has signed for Napoli for £4 million, apparently.

good news i guess ...

seems like he's off to Napoli for 5mill euros... seems like Atletico Madrid were interested too, hope it doesnt affect any chances we have/had of signing Maxi...

Is that confirmed on any real sites ? (Lesson 1 in how to pi$$ off the italian contingent on here
