Who did we sign Stambouli from? Could it be they refused to sell to PSG, and we've helped out?

What a bizarre signing. I remember that Europa game when some player left him for dust and I felt he was never going to have the pace needed to play for a Poch midfield.

but he really is not that slow......i think somehow the game you are referring to has stuck in peoples memories and its unfair because that player who left him for dust actually had electric pace and would have made a fool out of many players with his speed.

Not his fault, couldnt complain about his attitude, just wasn't for us. We made a profit as well so bonus.
Please be Ade next to go.

Don't use the usual mundane options in finding out this info.. come please.. use the new wonderful Tottenham Hotspur Transfer everyone look at me Totaliser Extravaganza. Found in Transfer rumours..

It's a wonderful totaliser, it reminded me of the Blue Peter totalisers of my youth. Apart from some of the wording......

So if the reports are correct, we bought him for 4 million, he had a brick season, and then we sold him for 6 million.... Levy is a genious.

I don't think we can fully bestow the genius tag on him until he gets rid of Ade, especially if he either gets a fee for him as a transfer or all £100k wages off the books in a years loan.
THEN the man can have a place in our Hall of Fame.

Well you have to add wages. The £2 million would cover £40k per week.
We do need a squad, but this was a position that seemed covered. So this was neutral financially. You can argue that this way we get a look at a player who could turn out to be a great fit and if not lose nothing. There are, however, potential downsides with this sort of signing. Such a player could block a youth prospect from getting an opportunity. It didn't in this case, but was this luck (if he'd been a bit less "crud" he would have played more), foresight by the manager, or a bit of both?

To be honest I am sorry he has gone and ( imo) he never really got a proper chance to show what he could do. We lack a player to play the defensive game in M/F and he might have been the one to do that, now we are left with the same players who failed to do that last season and I really do hope someone comes in who can.
Did he have a 'crud' season? He had a disjointed season. He showed some good flashes of what he do, and just thought like many of our buys needed time. Not sure its genius from Levy - PSG have acquired a good player and pretty sure he will end up being worth more than 6million.....

Was just about to say the same thing. He literally looked like he was running in treacle.

More than once in that game he was caught badly for pace. After that I knew he wouldn't figure a lot and that's how it turned out.
Good luck to him.
