Silly season has started then. They were linked with every player under the sun in the summer, and didn't sign anyone particularly out of the ordinary.
Well nowadays a big bank balance helps too. Someone who's got enough money and not afraid to lose abit bankrolling a football club.
Good post, You missed 2 notable exceptions not on that list mate, albeit only on loan to us: David Johnson, ex Everton/Liverpool and England of course and Jan Molby, Liverpool and Denmark, We are miles away from attracting that sort of player these days
I loved it when we signed Jan Molby, and the idea that he thought Martin Bullock was just a little autograph hunting fan. I also thought we made a really positive ambitious move, in appointing Viv Anderson and Danny Wilson. It was really disappointing though when Viv couldn't wait to leave, when Bryan Robson/Middlesbrough came knocking.
