I wonder if the the targets he had identified were there because of his presence as manager and that they disappeared of the radar when he left?
Hence plan B....I wonder who they were, Nzogbia probably one beacuse of the French connection?
One of them was the Argentinian midfielder at Valencia, Ever Banega. The other one was Saphic at Montpellier - who has now moved to Sevilla. No idea about the rest.
I'd seen those two talked about, as well as Aly Cissokho (who looks to be going to Liverpool for £10m after they missed out on Clichy).
But I'd love to have seen a full list of his targets.
