I remember ceefax stating we had a fee agreed of about 4.5mill???

I remember that one. I think we had Pleat in charge and it felt at the time like we were going to kick on to challenge for the top 6 in the Prem. Club accepted our bid but the player said no. Opted to join some tinpot outfit called 'Barcelona'. Apparently they're big in Spain. Bloody fool. I'd take Fargate over Las Ramblas any day of the week.

Think this may be the thing the Blades did bigger and better than us. Maradonna lol.

 

 

 

No they didn't, they did what they always do, went small time.

 

Maradona didn't say no.

 

They would not offer the money for Maradona, instead they offered much much less money for the human submarine that was Sabella.

I was the victim of an attempted mugging on Las ramblas . Never had much bother on Fargate.

Wasn't that because we chose Sinton instead of Sinclair??

 

No.

 

QPR signed Sinclair from Blackpool as Sinton's replacement

 

West Ham signed Sinclair from QPR

He didn't say no to us - we never attempted to sign him

 

Just made out that we did
