It appears to me we have just bought two new top notch centre-backs for about four million quid. Must be one heck of an app must that one sinkov. >:)

This is the most amazing thing about it, these players we're signing are cheap, dirt cheap by PL standards, we couldn't sign players this cheap in the old 31st August Trolly Dash. And they are bloody good players, far better than we have any right to expect at the price. It's almost biblical, turning water into wine, or feeding 5,000 with a loaf and 3 fishes. Who is behind this, who is finding these players in the first place, and who is negotiating the deals, getting them over the line so efficiently, at such bargain prices ? Whoever it is, I hope he's on a long term contract.

It’s difficult to point a finger at anyone in our team tbh , but I’ll mention the two I mentioned on another thread, Cullen - for a slight lad he’s so strong and his engine is amazing - just gets himself in exactly the right place All the time which is a special skill to have.
Maatsen
I ve run out of superlatives for this lad he really does have everything, pace - power - skill balance and a little nasty streak built in , all the attributes required to be a top footballer, I hope we can sign him at the end of the season I believe he could be a real star of the future.
Why not give credit to VK, it's more than a coincidence that we get all these players since he was appointed.
It's too big a job for one man k_c, I have no doubt whatsoever the "Kompany logo" might be a deciding factor in a player signing, but here is Alan Pace's early vision...
