Bojan was an incredible bargain and I believe there are pretty hefty sell on's. Bargains tend to be had when someone has come through the academy at a big club, but not quite made it to the first team. The big club obviously haven't shelled out a huge fee that needs recouping and they'll usually feel a certain amount of paternalism towards the player and would rather take a million or 2 off the fee to enable them to get the move they want and restart their career. I give you the examples of Shawcross; Bojan; & elsewhere Darren Fletcher; & Phil Neville |

To be fair Sonko had always impressed against us playing for Reading and didn't appear to do too badly for them when they went up.
Didn't he suffer quite a bad injury 12-18 months before he signed for us?
Needless to say it didn't take me long to realise we'd dropped a bollock once he started playing for us, THAT tackle at Blackburn will live long in the memory.

He mistimed that tackle so badly at Blackburn that he broke the space time continuum and is now a minor courtier and lute player in the court of Henry VIII.
Probably.

I was on the front row for it, around 5 metres from the incident. When he did it I was that amazed at how anyone can be that stupid, I just started laughing. |

I still can't believe that muppet signed him, that tackle away at Blackburn was comedy gold.

He was unfortunately ran over while starting his own website, in a Brian Harvey-type incident.

Is that the penalty I'm thinking of? I remember one, either against West Ham, or maybe Blackburn, where a player turned and Sonko dived in with one of the most clumsy tackles you'll ever see. |

You may need to turn away around the 12 second mark...

What a fucking disaster that was. |

Blackburn away.
Ibrahima Sonko and Vincent Pericard on the wing.
I don't need to add anything to that as it's already disturbing enough.

Jesus H Tittyfucking Christ on a motorcycle I thought the two mentioned were enough! As for Soares, we all thought he was going to be a star for us after his blinder against Spurs, only he slowly slipped away like a resilient turd on a toilet bowl. |

How the flaming hell did we stay up with that side?!
Also that kit is even worse now than it was then.

To think whilst we were watching that abortion unfold the boy wonder Bojan was playing Champions League footy for Barcelona.
It's a funny old game.

Including Soares, Tonge, Sonko, Olofinjana, Cort, Pericard, Davies, Phillips plus one of two others tha don't spring to mind. |

Exactly these players were brought in to pad out the squad Abit and if we had gone down and our stars deserted us we would still have a strong team to challenge for promotion again. Some of the players were top championship quality players. Others were Pericard ???? lol |

We spent millions on players during the preseason as a just in case we went down for the following season? Call me Doubting Thomas but Im going to take some persuading. |

And to fill out a small squad. Plus we took gambles on highly rated young players like Davies and Soares

I don't think Andrew Davies arriving at the club from Southampton when he did had a shred of connection with him being a highly rated young player. he was already injury fooked when the rather interesting two way £1m deal was done. |
