Must be the tears of sorrow at he impending January Sales at Noocarsels newest Sports Direct retail outlet. You buy one you replace one for a fraction of the amount - its known as being stiffed in the trade. Where is this world beater Ben Arfa? Talk of Cabaye being the next world superstar seem to have gone quiet and Ba is a one man team goal scorer. Where is the terific buy Marveaux who wasnt injury prone I was told 3 months ago by some barcode posters? Santon was the next Paulo Maldidni wasnt he? You see, the buying policy of aquiring unheard of gambles and no ones only lasts as long as it takes people to actually work them out - or 15 games to put it another way. We were told the likes of Larsson, Wickham, Vaughan and such like were ****e but hey, its taken them 15 games to settle in and now look like they are taking off under new guidance. We all know our players were not top 4 but we also knew they were good players. The barcode unheard of's started off like a steam train but have quickly been worked out and sorted out. I do look forward to the next few months with relish. PS - this should put at least another 100 posts onto your OP mate? Lol
