Wisdom Body Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Ferguson: "In 1999 I had Yorke, Cole, Sheringham and Solskjaer: the four best strikers in Europe. We are going towards that now." http://news.bbc.co.uk/media/images/38205000/jpg/_38205738_ronaldo220.jpg Erm nah. Not just him even. There were plenty of strikers at the time individually superior to any of those four, Shevchenko, Batistuta, Raúl, Shearer, Kluivert, Bergkamp etc. To be fair to Fergie though, I think he meant the 4 as a quartet, since they were fairly interchangeable. I'm not even sure he can say that now, since the drop-off from Van Persie-Rooney to Hernández-Kagawa would be significant imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Bet Spurs were hoping to make more than £10m on Modric. Especially when you factor the wages they had paid since his signing, they hardly made any money at all on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 So, if all the rumors going around are true, Athletic will end up with a €60m pot that they can spend on all those Basque superstars that they don't already own... Oh well, they could bid for Higuaín I guess (he has a Basque grandpa)... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
