Fuming that we were signing a ballon dor winner at 25.
I understand in hindsight like but at the time who couldn't be happy at such a transfer
Anyone who posted on here at the time will tell you it's not hindsight at all.
Peter Ramage made 29 appearances that season, Robbie Elliott 22, Amdy Faye 28, Lee Clark 25, Shola 34. That's before mentioning Craig Moore, Bramble, Babayaro etc. The squad was absolute shite and Souness and Shepherd thought they could fix everything by spending most of our money on a goal poacher with a notoriously bad injury record. At the time £16m could have paid for massive improvements to the squad as a whole.
