What a window that was. Bianchi flopped, and Geovanni wasn't fancied but went on to prove he was a good PL player for Hull. Bojinov is all speculation but I still think of he remained fit he would have been mustard. Career never recovered after his injuries with us. Garrido were allright. But Elano, Corluka and Petrov completely transformed us.

I sometimes do wonder what we would have looked like if Sven stuck around long enough to be tasked with the investment in the squad after the takeover.

Then again Zabaleta and Kompany in 2008 were very Sven like signings

Matt Mills, Georgios Samaras, Albert Riera & Tuomas Haapala.

Haapala was on trial and stuck around until the end of the year I seem to remember.

Think Riera went to Liverpool and were decent for them a couple of seasons later after looking very average for us. Only on loan

Yeah got a few Spain call ups seem to remember.

Had a few strange loan moves those days.

In fairness, Bony was ostensibly more suited to Pellegrini's style and I was ome of the few who thought it was a no-brainer. Completely wrong

You and me both.
