I remember thinking Chelsea signing Essien was the death-knell for that period when we got all the best young Frogs. He was exactly the sort of player we'd have picked up for tuppence ha'penny a few years earlier.

And not a single bite, Peter! Even after mentioning Sheringham's name in the same sentence as Dennis'.

Shocking lack of standards on this place and no mistake.
