Remember the days you could buy Chelsea for £1 <_<
if you buy them as we did, ie unproven but talented players, then yes 40 million would do it. if you buy them after their time at arsenal, 40 million wouldnt come closeQuote:

missed bergkamp in there acutally. pires was a bit of a gamble though, he was doing well in france but unproven in england. it did take him a year to adapt, but worth the wait. gilberto is awesomeQuote:

I just don't see the point in singling out football for its ludicrous monetry dominance when it's just part of everyday life :shrug:
Did you know Bergkamp was only the 3rd foreign player (excluding Welsh) we signed? First was Limpar, next was Jensen. Seems like only years ago.
Can you believe it was almost 20 years ago we signed Bergkamp! Crazy.
Why are we excluding the Welsh? The Dutch accent is far easier to understand. And RVC speaks far better English than Hartson.
Zelalem was born in 1997.Quote:
