I could trawl through a series of newspaper articles to find the ones saying we were interested in both players. These are not credible sources though, there are none for any transfer short of Roberto coming out and saying 'we've bid for x player'. So your question is a bit pointless. I've got no way of knowing if we were in for them, the same way no one on this thread has anyway of knowing if we were ever interested in Dann, Evans, Payet, Ogbonna etc. they were all media stories. 'Show me a credible source' would make this entire thread's contents redundant. Hopefully you are right and we were never even interested in Sako and Elmohamody because in my opinion they are garbage championship wingers.
