Sanchez looks desperate (why would he hang around with us otherwise)
You see, that's precisely the circular negative thinking I'm complaining about. "We suck because we can't attract good players. Therefore any players we attract must suck."
Alternative interpretation: Terry's money worries aren't actually terrifying for professional footballers; Mehmet wasn't good enough; Ritgers wanted stupid amounts of money.
We've missed a trick with Mehmet. Wouldn't be surprised if he didn't want to hang around. The club is hardly going to say he didn't like us due to our money problems and an owner who is bankrupt.
Wonder what we offered Ritgers. Maybe a slice of the 100 million WGA loan?
You're foolish to think that bad press and publicity isn't going to affect our recruitment drive.
