I'm very happy with some of thenew signings as they are proving other players (Knox & Moore) wrong so far, both playersrequested transfers earlier in the season as they didn't think my signings were good enough.______________________________________________________________________________________________AC Milan were brushed aside at Kinnear Park as we set up another meeting with Man Utd.

Maw74 Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 It's funny to be talking about him as a legend, but have him on the exit list. Oh yeah I put him on there as part of my plans to make the club mainly British players, I forget that he is on and should really take him off, my plan was to limit my squad to about 3/5 foreign players. Crazy thing is that nobody made any bids for him in either window, not that I was too upset though and it hasn't stopped him performing well so I guess he doesn't hold it against me.
