He's never going to admit to his poor signings or mismanagement of certain players was he? 13 internationals. Is that the best way to judge the quality of players? Lucas is a Brazilian international, mind you, as is Christian Poulsen.
Joe Cole
Jonjo Shelvey
Danny Wilson
Christian Poulsen
Raul Meireles
Paul Konchesky
Fabio Aurelio
Brad Jones
Milan Jovanovic
Shelvey and Wilson deals were mooted prior to Roy's arrival. Jovanovic deal of the reported 70k/wk was done during Rafa's reign. Aurelio was basically re-signed. Besides, does his 10m net spend include the reported high signing on fees during his reign, like the 2m for Philip Degen? Move on, pls.
