He went for half of lallana who Rogers bought instead. And I did ad nauseum say he was the guy.
The point on alli is not he was going to be next gerrard and going to euros. The point was he was a high rated young english player heavily linked to lfc for buttons and Rogers et Al decided that despite newkie and spurs bidding they could sit back and wait and see.
I think we knew at least a year before if not more this deal was in the offing.
I don't get why guys feel the need to defend incompetence as the same clowns brought balotelli to our club
£5m for a young promising League Two player isn't buttons.
it was a gamble that has benefited spurs.
