Genuinely not bothered that we didn't get him. I've thought this way for a long time now.
But when I suggested a couple of months ago that the rags could sign him, even though we were being given assurances on here that it was all but a "done deal", too many esteemed posters laughed off the suggestion... the rags were skint weren't they? Anyway, maybe this is a shot across our bows that baconface will be going Hell for leather to win the Premiership next season, and we need to be up for it. I'm sure we wil be, and I fully expect a major signing to trump this shortly.
Oh, and for all those who berated John Cross of the Mirror about his contention that RvpP didn't want City and was always ending up at the rags... maybe some journos DO know more than fans on a messageboard at times! ;-))
Like I've said previously... this is last roll of the dice for Surly Alex...
