He's got himself an agent
That's it for me, deal off

Saw this at Chesterfield market, £195. Looks like we've been gazumped agee-an.

(If the forum existed in 1978.....)

Some 17 year old that Harry Haslam has been watching in Argentina apparently, £200,000 though not sure we can afford that what with the board and all, and whether he's worth it.

What do people reckon, worth a punt?

Waste of money - we need someone who can go straight into the First division and make a difference

If that's one he's actually worn they'll be more than £195 quids worth of coke residue on it.

 

[DronnieBlade]

Offer them a couple of bags of grout.

That should do it

The board - the missus- wouldn't let me spend that kind of money either.

 

[JOEYDEE]

It'll never happen , foreigners playing in english leagues just don't seem a good fit,let alone United blazing a trail !!

 

[Patrick Suffaux]

I heard we bought him and then sold him when he got to the training ground.

NO AMBISHUN!

Sad news. Amazing player could have been a Blade.
Only in S2.

From chessy market, it’s a wonder it didn’t say Madonna on it

 

[kevreedy]

Makes you wonder if Maradonna had signed for us. would we have been relegated and ended up in div 4 a couple of years later.

 

[BerksBlade]

Maradona you say? Saw him play once - can't use his right foot. Avoid.

Yes, we would have

He'd have been so many light years ahead of Sabella, who in turn was light years ahead of the rest of our team that it would have been disastrous.

Worst thing is it would have been even more disastrous for him because he'd never have been the player he became.

We'd have offloaded him to Birmingham City or somewhere that enabled us to get our money back.

Maradona would have lost 3 or 4 years of his career and probably never ended up at Barca or Napoli

I think the opposite would have happened. That type of talent can't be stifled and Haslam would have let him use it.
DM would soon have been sold to them up the M1, and from then on Man Utd or Arsenal and the like. Then Barca and Italy.

 

[Tynemouth Blade]

Looks like we've finally signed Maradona......on a free!

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Would he be an improvement on John Matthews or Len De Goey though?

I liked John Matthews
