He did. Joined Sunderland on a Bosman.LeverEnd wrote:I think he just left at the end of his contract. Not sure.Lord Kangana wrote:I hope we got a sell-on clause. A cut of €25m is a lot of money these days, especially in our current predicament.

I don't see how he's improved go £25m but he was always better than we gave him credit for.
Same with the winger Megson (??) bought at the same time.

I thought he was decent enough. Not 24m worth, but a good player! Imagine that sort of money though! Apparently we could of bought Rodrigo for 4 or 5 mill iirc. Think he hasn't long sold for a shed loads of money to.
Uh well.who needs money!

I'm sure I've read that he's spent time with the England setup recently so someone somewhere must think quite highly of him.

He appears to have leapfrogged young Jaaskelainen anyway. Unless PP is givin gthem both a go on the bench.Little Green Man wrote:I suspect my gran has several nether garments that are older than his dad.Bruce Rioja wrote:Cheers, Greenie.

PP will want someone else in by the next league game, which is after the deadline... Unless it's a free agent.

Alonso was utter wank. Couldn't defend to save his life. Direct matter about the rest in that position. Bet Damian Duff fancies coming out of retirement!

Re: For new signings, ask the man from the Pru
He had a poor game away at Fulham once. Did you see him other than that? He left us just as he was developing into a very fine defender and all round player.Prufrock wrote:Alonso was utter wank.

Everyone had poor games away at Fulham. Always. It was like that Michael Jackson statue took away the powers of even the very best.Bruce Rioja wrote:He had a poor game away at Fulham once.

He was certainly developing. Not sure I'd ever describe him as a good defender though. Not in his time here. Nice on the ball though.Bruce Rioja wrote:He had a poor game away at Fulham once.

this recent attempt to be a poor-man's BWFCi with the ridiculous hyperbole... it's a bit daft (IMHO)
