Fowler went to Leeds and scored 12 goals in the 2nd half of that season. We spent the money on Diouf in the summer, he scored 3 goals all season and we and dropped from 2nd to 7th.

What we subsequently spent the money on and whether it was a good investment or not is irrelevent to whether selling a crocked has-been for 12M was good business or not.
