Because that must be what's going to happen this window. We're not being heavily with anyone at all :-(

Amuray Bischoff wasn't linked with us much, was he?

[Billy Goat Sverige]

[Luis Anaconda]

[Luis Anaconda]

and Grimandi came in the close-season after when we also signed Petit, Overmars, Upson, Wreh, Manninger, Boa Morte and Alberto Rodriguez Mendes

but I did remember Garde being the first or one of the first,
