I feel it's only fitting Joao gets an Alf send off as I'm obviously obsessed with him.
Quite frankly, he's been our worst signing ever. No not our worst player ever, not by a long shot, but the 13.2m we payed for him was the best con-job anyone's ever pulled against the club.
Silenzi for 1.8m? Not even close. He was playing in the Prem and when he played against lower opposition in the cup he did fine and actually scored a few. Carvalho failed to stamp any kind of influence in 80-90% of his games, and was a total mismatch.
In years to come (hopefully not too long) we'll be sat in the Prem on the back of our academy lads, and laughing at how the name which got sung at almost every match for a 1-2 year period was the biggest waste of money we've ever spent.
Good luck to the kid. Defending his ability I get. He wasn't suited to the league, but he did have talent. Defending his actual signing still baffles me.
Farewell sweet prince.
Completely agree Alf. He was a shagwanking disaster and those of you that are satisfied with 7 good touches per £5M invested are the ones living in a different era. We were lucky he didn't tip us over financially and his shrug your shoulders message on leaving the club was the final straw-he should have been having a breakdown based on how dreadfully things have gone here, but he looked as happy as Larry and I suspect he was delighted just to pick up a fat wage whist doing nothing...
