    Sure it was closer to 10m. Stewart was 3.25 if I remember correctly and nearly 7 for flo!

    Might as well have signed Floella Benjamin!!

    Nicolas Medina for £3.5m - I think he might have played one half in league cup game. Signed to keep Julio company and stop him getting homesick.

    Wasn't Medina more highly rated than Julio back in Argentina though? I've often wondered what went wrong there. The same with Marcos Angeleri, Paolo Da Silva, and Cristian Riveros. These were all internationals and rated as good players in South America. Yet they came here and barely made an impression. Was this poor scouting and they weren't suited to English football? Or was it that the club didn't do enough to help them settle in England? The same with Nacho Scocco more recently. Why is our success rate with South Americans so low?

    Who was that Argentinian full back we had? Played one league cup game I think. Might have only been half a game.

    Your right Marcus I apologise for the mistake, see Billy's informative response to my error as well,it sets out all the info on Flo, it must be the stress affecting an already suspect memory <ok>
