Guest Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Its made worse when you look at some that we DID sign. Tore Andre Flo for one. And the money we wasted on them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigo 32,526 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I even remember huge paper talk at one time about Klinsman. Maybe Batistuta too? Not sure about that one. There's probably a million others. The thing is, they were viable targets (just about) back then, purely in terms of our financial capability.
