Where's Lescott????

 

[TX Bill]

He isn't top ten but he's in the 2nd tier.

Step forward Michael Carrick. 18M ???

Are you kidding me?

A lot of money for a poor man's Rodwell.

Any money paid for Titus Bramble. Ever.

 

[Summerskin]

I didn't realise we got that much for AJ...

Shrewd, moyesie, shrewd.

Bit harsh on old Titus tbh, he's turned into quite a strong and consistent defender at Wigan.

79 goals against last season suggests not so consistent.

Consistently bad...

 

[Alio]

Lescott could still turn out to be successful at city, but as it stands you'd think he'd be on that list at the moment

Therefore you're looking at 3 player sales in the top 10, and I wonder how many of the best buys we'd have too....? Arteta, Cahill etc

I would also add another in there..........

Get Jo on!!!

Sorry lid, this. Was good in fantasy football the season before when Brucey looked after him, but ya look at how many newcastle would let in, and then it happening to wigan, I'm not gonna say its a coincidence like.

Phil Babb....how many millions was that? Crazy!

 

[Rook]

I'm not sure Carrick's transfer is worse than Lescotts. Barring injury Lescott isn't going to get a game next year that isn't a UEFA group stage one.

Owen Hargreaves and his butter knees comes to mind.

 

[RFUS]

Notice how we're always the team selling the player.

Smart sobs, we are.

 

[teppic]

I didn't realise we got that much for AJ...

Shrewd, moyesie, shrewd.

I'm pretty sure we bought him for 8.6 million.

Nice to turn a profit on him.

 

[ToffeeDan]

They could have a Top 10 of Ridiculously Overpriced Buys for The RS alone..

Great shout there, £18m for Jo. Disgraceful.
