...and we 'only' had a debt of around 25% of what we have now. I had managed to not think of G&H for much of the summer. Starting thinking about them again last week when it was obvious just how much we are scrapping around for funds. It made me feel physically sick. God help us if they do eventually sack Rafa.
True, its just a shame that when we look like we can get a couple of £20m players in, the market has gone down several notches in terms of the quality that amount of money can buy you.
Perhaps clagy (giving him the benefit of the doubt) is ironically suggesting that every time elisha makes an appearance he is battered with questions from all angles??
Sorry that doesnt tally with the conversations I've had with 3 seperate Bolton season ticket holders who have all said they are desperate to sign him. We all agreed £2.5 to £3m was fair (of course they preferred 2 and I preferred 3)
We cant sell Alonso without buying a replacement,- dont forget Masch and Lucas will probably both miss the start of the season because of the Olympics.
These supporters clearly want to keep a player that has given them 10 years of good and loyal service. I hope Gareth Barry comes to us but at the same time I can't bring myself to gloat about it.
He was easily our best attacking player in the second half of last season - this year he has had to come back from a serious injury. Dont know about his questionable attitude, it hasnt reared its head since he's been with us (save for one or two yellows and a red)
I honestly can't choose, I keep changing my mind. Its probably easier to say which is your least favourite (header v Spurs but it still earned us a last minute point)
