Deep Qatar purse strings > deep Saudi purse strings ! love it.

I thought he started pretty good. But going from £35m to a freebie definitely puts him in this list.

Wot no Igor Stepanovs?

Being sold in SportDirect stores already as well.

Sol Campbell. I thought he was loyal to the Spuds forever 🙄.

When he first played for Nott’s Co. at 15, everyone was screaming that he would be a world class player. We scooped he up. I remember an end of season game where he scored a hat-trick (although Robert Pires’ outrageous 3rd goal stole the plaudits). Definitely a talented kid.

I’m surprised no-one has mentioned Eberechi Eze. He was in the academy from 9 to 13.
