    I’m sure it was a treble signing?

    Malbranque, Chimbonda and Tainio.

    We tried to sign Kaboul in addition to Chimbonda, Malbranque and Tainio

    Kaboul's agent said something along the lines of "it would take an earthquake for Kaboul to sign for Sunderland"

    Then pictures came out of him with the Portsmouth manager Harry Redknap at a London casino. And Kaboul signed fir Portsmouth soon afterwards. All above board and not in anyway suspicious, I believe.....

    And Robbie Keane, although if I remember rightly we signed him on 14 different occasions

    Signed by Keane, wasted out on the wing and then shipped out by Bruce IIRC who probably thought he didn't run about enough

    I'm sure he just wanted to go back to France in the end. But I agree, wasted on the wings.
