I like the way we are portrayed as being a graveyard for young English talent and yet they can turn established world class players into sunday league players while paying them a fortune and escape any real critism.
In Falcao and DiMaria they have spunked god knows how much money and surely any genuine world class player will look at them now and see them for what they are.
Edit,
While not exactly world class, how do you also manage to fuck up having a keeper of Valdez quality within a year as well.
Can you imagine if we had signed Valdes, Falcao and DiMaria and then shipped them all out within 12 months?
