Wow, never realized how good he was. My entry was Alan Willey who made the National Soccer Hall of Fame. Second all time in the NASL in goals. Chinaglia was insane.
Alan Willey tops my earliest list. Tino Lettieri and Ace Ntsoelengoe close second and third. Englishman Willey was the leader on the Minnesota Kicks and played against Pele at the time.
Lille just needs to tell Milan they need to match our offer. If they do then Botman's agent needs to tell Milan to match the wages. Milan can say fuck it any time they want or just match the offer and get the player. That really should be the bottom line.
Didn't Howe mention at the start of the January window they'd have a squad of 100 if they signed everyone they were linked with? I'm pretty it was something to that effect.
TBF, he said he had to wait until "The two clubs said I could talk" so it's possible that occurred after they reached agreement and before the PL approved it.
This is old but quite a read. Really some kind of story. I wish him the best at Norwich.

Looks like pay per view on my comcast cable. 25 USD too so I'll have to just read about it.
edit: Looks like you can stream it off FuboTV also, I only had that for a short time.
