How much was Bale?
£7m in the end. £5 to start with, then we brought the clauses for £2m when Southampton needed money. Otherwise I think it could have gone to as much as £12m
How much was Bale?
Agreed. We also bought Huddlestone and Dawson from Championship teams - and I think Leeds were there when we got Lennon as well.How much was Bale?
I've seen very little of Zaha, is he another over hyped English player or is he the real deal?
Just as well he's not a touchline-hugging winger then!I'd put him in the Sterling-Ince bracket. More likely to be an Etherington/Routledge than a Bale/Lennon.
Really don't think we need another traditional touchline-hugging 4-4-2 winger either. We need more of an inside forward who will get up behind the forward and contribute 15 goals.
At £10m and with his reputation, even if he doesn't succeed, we ought to be able to sell him for at least half that.

How many times have you seen him play?
When i've seen him he's not looked like a traditional touchline hugging winger at all. Actually he reminded me of a faster more nimble Victor Moses who certainly isn't a touchline hugging winger.

Fergie ain't wrong about Fryers. We were a bit naughty. Would that have happened if HR was still here? I did not like the cosy relationship he had with Fergie.
I am glad Fergie has started a war against us. He feared us in the past when we outplayed them for long periods of games but got beaten every time.
But now I think he is properly frit.
Did I read somewhere that Zaha supports that other lot?
In which case, you'd have to think that, all else being equal, that gives Arsenal the edge if they also make a move for him.
He will not get in the Arsenal team.

The Championship is a very competitive league.
