You mean when people were saying "Chuck must be eating his hat now, what with us signing Gudjonnson, RVN, Balotelli, Mancini, and Toni"?

General consenus seems to be that Cole will not suffer either an injury, suspension or dip in form over the next 9 or so months, Hines and Nouble will be the absolute dogs and Diamanti will step up effortlessly from Serie B into the PL and everything will be hunky dory.
We couldn't afford to "develop" Savio either.....but "no harm was done".
We have also discovered that due to the magnificent negotiation skills of the Egg........signing a first division CB from the Brummies, a freebie from the Gooners, a Liverpool reserve and a guy from Newcastle's treatment room had bankrupted us as well.

Well, Scott said he went back to the end of the rainbow and the little Irish fellow he'd asked to keep hold of the £14 million in his pot didn't seem to be around. Got some magic beans though, have to be patient til they grow before they'll pay off.Chuck D wrote:...just tell me which top drawer striker we signed as Bellamy's replacement?

Ah yes - forgot we signed him from the ScousersScaloni Is The Messiah wrote:Bellamy
excellent post smuts - you also forgot to mention though that we have no right to expect decent management and success as west ham never have in 50/60 years despite having around the 7th highest income when in the prem over the last 15 years (when arguably money has become more important) - consistently higher income than bolton, blackburn, sunderland, wigan, fulham etc, etc.....but we can't expect to compete with tottenham as they have a higher income than us (despite as mentioned previously that that logic doesn't hold for us being better positioned than wigan et al).....as chuck would say - the things you learnsmuts wrote:Chuck...you missed it all...
