Benoit Assou-Ekotto, Didier Zokora, Giovani dos Santos, Verdun Corluka, Aaron Lennon, Darren Bent, Heurelho Gomes, Kevin Prince Boateng, Roman Pavlyuchenko, Younes Kaboul, Gareth Bale, Dimitar Berbatov, Luca Modric

coates - young
henderson - young
enrique - good buy
bellamy - good buy
suarez - good buy

okay it is a disaster 😉
I think if those 3 are sold we'll get at least half of that money back

 

[El Pistolero]

We'll be lucky to get a third.

will be interesting to see how many of his own purchases kenny sells in the summer.

Kenny has the final say.

No manager should ever have it.

Yeah... Just think how much better Man Utd would have been if Ferguson didn't make the final decision.

Thank fuck chelsea have the good sense to not leave it up to the manager - their signings since Abromovich have all been stunning.

 

[FoxForceFive]

They say mugged off on talksport a lot, I assume its a southern term meaning ripped off?

I suppose it depends whether it's truly kenny or Commolli picking these players, & I don't think anyone knows that.

 

[peterhague]

i don't think comolli is much cop at picking out players, but he seems brilliant at persuading well known young talents to come to his clubs. i think i read somewhere that Berbatov definitely wasn't his signing, so his two real stand out buys at Spurs were Bale and Modric. Every fucker knew about and were chasing them, but he was the one who got the business done.

and, tbf, he seems to be doing the same for us with our recent young signings. Ibe, Ojo, O'Hanlon, Sinclair: all hugely talented, all in great demand, all chose us. that seems to be his real talent, and imo, it's bloody valuable one.

i think Kenny was the one who fucked up with Downing, and to a lesser extent Henderson and Adam.

 

[ibromurph]

The only signings I'm particularly disappointed with are the exorbitant purchases of Downing and Carroll. Adam is worth what we paid for him and was playing well next to Lucas before the injury. Henderson is young and talented enough to become a very good player for us. I remember Bale not winning a game with Spurs for almost a year and people saying how shite he was. I think Jordan will come good.

Carroll and Downing however represent very poor value for money. Downing, at the top of his game is an decent player. But for the money we spent, we should have got a top class one or a young talent with the potential to be world-class.
In regards to Carroll, well, I'm all for giving him time, but I think its pretty much clear he just doesn't possess the skill nor footballing abilities to ever become world-class. For 35m, we could have got practically any top forward. It's a shame.

 

[LadyRed]

I don't feel like I know how the decisions about who we sign are made, I basically don't know who I should blame more, Kenny or Camolli

Fixed.

 

[LadyRed]

I like KPB, but I don't know if he's that good.

I wish we'd just do a straight swap with Villa, Carroll for Bent

 

[gkmacca]

I can't believe Comolli had anything to do with signing Bellamy.

[gkmacca]

His most noticeable action so far is deciding when he wants to be pictured with his specs on and when he wants them to be off.
