I don't get the Chelsea reference. Surely "Londonsfinest" is a Spurs supporter, otherwise his user name is a lie.
They turned our bid down. Abramovich said he'd rather sack his manager than sell Atkinson. Oddly enough, he said the same about Shevchenko and Torres...
I actually think Torres will still come good. You can still see the class is there it's just a confidence issue.
Surely Shevchenko beats Torres hands down? £30m to get a goal every five games, unbalance a title winning side, piss off your best ever manager, and then **** off on a free three years later. And to add insult to injury, Milan won the CL the year they sold him. That's gotta take some beating
Correct Swarbs but this completely redeemed himl; [video=youtube;NpfpMAs7v9g]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpfpMAs7v9g[/video]
I love Maureen's response to that goal. I can just imagine him grabbing Cole's arm and shouting "****! Now I'll never persuade that Russian **** to sell this useless piece of ****!"
Hey Swarbs, this thread is about Ferguson ( i.e. Managers' ) buys. No Chelsea manager bought Shevchenko or Torres.
Very true. I often forget your owner treats the club like his own personal plaything Still, I reckon if SAF could persuade Chelsea to part with Atkinson that would be his greatest ever transfer market coup.
