The Fixer said:Some stuff knocking about that he's been following our progress for 18 months now and ko'd both Real and Chelsea...... bit hard to believe i suppose.
Not when you think that's about the time Cooky went over to enquire about Villa and Silva and Valencia wanted £100 million so he left.
No doubt we let him know how much we rated him then. So him keeping tabs on us knowing we would come back for him makes sense.
Easy to slag Cooky when it goes wrong, he got this one bang on.
