Guest neesy111 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 aye, gutted we didn't sign robbie keane when we had the chance, consistent player, similar style to owen / bellamy, not a managers nightmare, i think he'd have done well here. did the £8m end up on boumsong in the end?> no it was when we signed owen and luque souness wanted boa motre and anelka for 6 million each we're offered keane for 8 million shepherd bought owen and luque for 27 million 15 million difference, and it almost bankrupted us in the end Nope, got the facts wrong I'm afraid. We offered £3.3m for Boa Morte. Fulham wanted £4.3m. Souness wanted the deal but Freddie thought it was too much to pay. Boa Morte wanted to join but we didn't up our offer. Then we get a fax from Depo offering us Luque, who Freddie decided would be higher profile than Boa Morte, so we went for him instead. We asked Fener about Anelka and were told he wasn't for sale. No idea where you've plucked the £6m figures from. souness actually said himself Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
