Every single one of them I mentioned was a regular international.We got hounded for spending money on Toure and KDB. Gundo joined after a big injury and Silva albeit a great player was never really linked to the likes of Barca or Madrid who sweep up all Spanish talent.
They are obviously 4 of the most important players in our recent history.
I’m not saying MGW will be but he deserves a chance instead of being shot down. If the club decide to buy him, support him. They have far more knowledge about football than me and you.
Stones, Walker, Lescott, Barry, Milner are all English players I can think of that weren’t at the highest level, but high enough with plenty of prem experience and took their games to the next level here.
Walker was one of the best RB in the league when we bought him.
Barry and Milner probably were about right for where we was at the time. We was laying the foundations.
And Stones was a class defender at Everton.
MGW doesn't stand out for me. He isn't even Notts Forest best midfielder.
And as for the club having better knowledge than me and you. They could have saved a fortune if they picked up the phone and asked me if Phillips and Nunes are a go.
The club sometimes get it wrong. The transfer windows are a huge area where we need to improve vastly, if we want to get back to dining out at the top!!
