You do realise he was linked to Celtic, Palace, Arsenal and Spurs don't you. Or if he really wanted to he could have waited and walked back in to Newcastle. He had options in the UK. He was also in discussions with Napoli, Fiorentina and Fenerbahçe, so it wasn't like we took a punt on him.
I absolutely dont realise any of that, nor do i believe it, what you are saying is we beat 7 clubs to get him over the line here, dont think so mate, thats Jamie and His Magic Tourch stuff there, no offence.
