We definitely got the s*** end of the stick when we swapped King Kenny for Clive Allen and even back in the 90’s Arsenal stole Wrighty off us for 2.5 million :'( These are definitely two of the terrible deals I had in mind. And then we spent almost all of the net proceeds from the Wright transfer on a poor and over-priced replacement; Sunderland kindly helping us to ensure the money didn't burn a hole in our pocket.

Did you have to remind us YT . . . Marco Gabbiadini.
This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

The speculation now moves on to Eze and Guehi. Goodbye Mr Olise.

I felt a bit sorry for him at the time, Wrighty was a tough act to follow and we kept banging the balls up to Gabbiadini in the same way we did for Wrighty to chase and he just didn’t have the pace, shame because he was a proven goalscorer at the time

Have no issue with Olise moving on, the fee is disappointing but if the sell on clause is correct then that's some comfort at least. He's been brilliant for us and I genuinely believe he's better than Zaha, has been a pleasure to watch him and just a pity he was a bit injury prone. However, we'll replace him and hopefully will unearth another gem, if we haven't already got one with the likes of Franca. It's a great selling point for potential signings anyway, reckon we must be such an attractive proposition right now. Thats the issue, he only played 19 games last season due to injury. His talent unfortunately makes him a target to be brought down by the opposition.

In 1964 I was distraught when Bill Glazier went to Coventry (for what was a very good fee for a goalkeeper in those days) but that opened the way for John Jackson - and that didn’t turn out too badly. As one door closes another one opens, it is the way it is and the way it has always been. Michael Olise is a great talent, I have enjoyed watching him, but we move on. Good perspective there. Didn't we receive money plus AJ for Clinton Morrison, as part of that deal? Didn't work out too badly and I was gutted when CM left.
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

Steve Kember going to Chelsea was a disappointment but our recruitment is a lot better now than it was then.

Yeah, something like £4.25m and the right to buy AJ for £750k. Easily the club's best transfer deal of the 00s. We then bought Clinton back for £2m. In the end, Birmingham gave us net £1.5m and Andy Johnson for a glorified 3 year loan of Clinton Morrison, in which time we got promoted.
