That's believable.Didn't we do the same with Ivo Stas??No; he only cost about £250k when our record was £1.5 million.Must have him mistaken.... There was a player who we signed and the disclosed fee was about £600k but he only played a couple of times before injury forced him to retire.... I'm sure it came out that we had only paid £150k and that all the insurance company would pay outNeale Cooper?

Giving a player on loan the famous number 9 shirt is quite depressing to say the least.
Quote from: saunders_heroes on February 02, 2015, 04:06:50 PMGiving a player on loan the famous number 9 shirt is quite depressing to say the least. It has none of the cache of old to be fair. Angel or Dublin are probably the last players to have worn it with any distinction. He can't possibly be any less of a ridiculous Number 9 than Stephen Ireland. Well, let's hope not.

Scott Sinclair says he's desperate to strike up a "special relationship" with the claret and blue army - as he gets set for his home debut against Chelsea.Sinclair insists he has a "big hunger" to impress his new supporters and give them something to cheer about with his performances on the pitch.He told us: "I can't wait to get out there at Villa Park and play for the fans. That's what every player wants to do - go out and endear himself to a new set of supporters when they join."For me, it's about being part of something here. If you're not playing - as I wasn't at Man City - it can sometimes feel like you're not part of something."I feel so happy coming here. It's a new challenge for me and I'm looking forward to it."The hunger inside me is huge. I want to create a special relationship with the Villa fans as soon as possible. That's my aim."I remember playing here at Villa Park when I was at Swansea and I thought 'the fans are amazing.'"Once they get behind the players, the stadium gets rocking. I want to experience that first-hand as a Villa player."Next up for Villa, in a quirk of fate for Sinclair, is his former club Chelsea.He expects a tough battle with the Barclays Premier League leaders.He added: "They look strong. But every game is tough for every team no matter who you are. "No-one can predict who will win any match."Man City lost to Middlesbrough in the FA Cup and Chelsea lost to Bradford. No-one would have called those two results."But for us, it's about getting that confidence up and getting that buzz in the crowd."
