Cabaye, Yanga-Mbiwa, Ba etc werent unknowns at all. The first two captained Ligue 1 champions and have France caps. Thats miles away from what Sunderland are doing.
Must say, I think I have a decent knowledge of players that exist but they're buying so many unknowns. That can't be a good sign. Some big money 27 year old Serie B striker? No thanks.
Then again, maybe its jealousy that theyre purchasing footballers this summer
They will sign about 5% of the players theyre linked with, everyday brings about 5 new Monaco rumours because it's incredibly easy work for journalists.
Having grown up in a household where my parents had never liked football, I can only remember the '94 final. I was lying ill on the sofa, there was an aerial shot of the stadium before the match and thats about it
Ronaldo going mad, that match vs Argentina, Robbie Earle scoring for Jamaica, Nigeria vs Spain, THAT Bergkamp goal, Lilian Thuram's double, Martin O'Neill chatting to Robbie Williams.....great memories.
