Dishonourable mention to Bats, Shevchenko, Veron, Wright-Phillips, Mutu, Marin, Zhirkov, Del Horno, Kezman, Crespo, Boulahrouz and Chris Sutton. Left out some I am sure. Crespo shouldn't be in that list. Along with Hasselbaink he's probably the best finisher during my lifetime supporting the club. He chipped in with some very good and important goals in 2005/06. It was his inability to settle in England, not his performances like the rest of the players mentioned.

You're right, Swansea were so poor last year and devoid of any creativity. I think what he has at least shown in the Championship is if he's supplied, he'll score goals. He has to prove this at the next level in the Prem next but in the position we're currently in, surely its worth giving him a shot in the second half of this season. If he struggles, he can go back out on loan to a mid-lower Prem team next season and carry on developing. But if he proves a success then we may only need one striker in the summer, not two.

I can agree with this, it wasnt so much a condemnation of him as a player, just that it didnt work out for us, therefore was a bad buy.

Its just whether the board agree I think this is very much a huge worry too. We all assume they are not happy with Morata. It would not shock me at all if we do nothing, literally nothing in January. Maybe some sales, but those are all speculative too. Cahill and Cesc's wages (Drinkwater too) are so high most clubs cannot afford them due to multiple reasons (FFP in Milan's case with Cesc, cheap ass owners in Cahill's case with Villa). The ones that can afford don't want them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money for nothing, the history of Winston Bogarde. https://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=125370.0;wap During his spell at Stamford Bridge, the club attempted to sell Bogarde due to his large salary, and demoted him to the reserve and youth teams in an effort to force him to leave. In response to press criticism, he responded: 'This world is about money, so when you are offered those millions you take them. Few people will ever earn so many. I am one of the few fortunates who do. I may be one of the worst buys in the history of the Premiership but I don't care.' £17m (in 2019 quid) for four starts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His pass is in doubt because the reason he was free was because he lost the ball and kept moving forwards. Also, hours after the final he was moaning about not being the "main man".
