We've actually signed:
1. The new Carlos Vela
2. A centre half we won't see for at least 12 months.
Apart from this we've borrowed some bloke from Real Madrid for a year.
Borrowed. For a year.
Fúck me, in the darkest days of our skintness we did more to refresh the squad than this.
Carlos Vela is the 2nd best player in the MLS, sc :nono:Quote:

He was scotch. He may well have been ****. I have a similar opinion of many of the players in the 60s. I still think pele was ****, and a ****.Quote:

Incidentally that young fellow goes on to play the mentaller in Alan Partridge. My knowledge of trivia from violent rape film scenes is probably a little to good.
