[Chief Arrowhead]

Two superb signings, no doubt. And I love the pragmatic side of Edu/Mikael. Yes, fully support the focus on young talent, but there are times when you need to forget about philosophies and do what it takes to win this year.

Maybe these were our real targets all along?? Chelsea cribbing our scouting notes and throwing piles of cash to "win" is undoubtedly well known by Edu and Garlick. Perhaps this Murdyk affair was a way to throw Chelsea off the scent and at the same time make them commit loads of financial resources on a young player that, while promising, is unproven.

4D chess!

It could be! I recall that not a word was mentioned about Vieira until the deal was done. In these times of internet rumour warriors aplenty he was able to pull that off. Maybe he is?!?!?!
