In the last few weeks i've stood by in silence as we have let opportunities pass us by. Darren Bent was the first one... he'll end up somewhere else now. Then I was thinking we could have signed Park Ji Sung, and that French man that has gone to Newcastle. We've not made moves for any of them. Seriously, i've worked it out and they would all have been good for us! I just wish we would have signed / would sign Bent. I reckon he'd have bagged 5 or 6 in pre-season alone. He's leathel. Put him in front of any empty net and he'll score you goals all day long. We'd be mid table.

I think I've done the figures on here before. I'll have a look around and bump the old thread.

Meanwhile back on topic:
As far as I'm aware, Park has retired, but huge wages at QPR last year by all accounts, it would be the same with Bent, I understand the point, PL proven etc, but as we've seen with the likes of Norwich & Swansea, buying Championship players & the odd gem from abroad can work in you favour, not saying Sagbo will be brilliant, I'm just hoping, the same as I'm hoping Aluko & Chester live up to our expectations.
