Curtis Davies 10m or so and Heskey plus 3 year deal take some beating
3.5 yr deal, I think you'll find.
MON doesn't really do many big-fee poor signings, what he does is mid-range fee signings that he then instantly decides are shit (Shorey, Harewood, Sidwell) or who the whole football world said "he's shit" and then turn out to be, well, shit.
His lack of imagination means that his transfer policy turns into "throw enough darts, eventually one will hit the bullseye"
Tried telling my mackem mate this when he joined them, but he was totally not having it, despite the glaring evidence of recent years at VP.
christ
its shocking none of the media have picked up on just how shit they are doing, this isn't a new thing its going back to the fa cup defeat to everton last season
