The FA Cup semi final agaisnt Chelsea So surely that shows that he is a good player and his early poor form was a product of poor coaching? So what you're saying is that if a player has a few poor games, they become a bad signing? I don't see that you can argue about the likes of Riise, Finnan, Hamann etc justifying their fees and then some. Most of them have had about as many stinkers as Sami has in his time.
