Sven brought in some very good quality players, by our standards at that time. Corluka, Geovanni, Petrov, Bojinov. Even Gelson Fernandes and Javier Garrido had no little ability.
It was a shame that Rolando Bianchi didn’t work out, but seven out of eight is pretty good. And, yes, I know Bojinov's injury record was a nightmare.
I still maintain that Elano's free-kick against Newcastle is the best one I’ve been in the stadium to witness.
