Problem is, we had to pay a premium to sign (supposedly) top-whack players that didn't really want to come here. Luque, Owen etc. They then underperformed because they didn't want to be here.

 

Sunderland have to pay a premium just to sign mediocre players who don't really want to go there. They'll then underperform because they don't want to be there.

Still think we could have got Owen for a lot cheaper and we only paid that amount to top our Shearer bid.

 

Liverpool offered £8m didn't they, we really didn't need to offer >twice as much, they brought us good times but that era definitely did a few things to trump others with little thought to actual business sense.

Didn't they screw us with Owen because we'd screwed them with Woody the year before? That was the accepted wisdom at the time iirc, something about owed instalments or some such and we both just called it quits.  :dontknow:

Seems too much of a coincidence it was just above our Shearer bid, especially given who was in charge at the time.

 

Again like the Debuchy bid, I don't think the buying/selling club had any reason to want to fuck us over. Woodgate was a known crock and Lille inserted the silly clause in Cabaye's contract.

Anyone else hear some idiot on the radio last night who said he thought Newcastle fans were "deh-loo-shin-ull" for expecting a decent season and then stated that he had placed a bet on Sunderland to finish in the top six !! 

Yes that's the same Sunderland who are managed by the odious Artie Ziff, who is presently doing a half decent impression of someone who's actually interested in his job, were one of the worst teams in the PL league last season and appear to be going backwards at present.

Said idiot then went on to say that Sunderland had a better team than Newcastle but just hadn't got the players in yet ???

 

I blame the government for letting them back out into the community and giving them access to telephones.
