Agreed. It reminds me so much of the El Hadji-Diouf fiasco. I was rather pleased when I saw it on Sky Sports News that West ham are expected to find the cash to buy him and LFC are expected to drop out of the race for him. Klaas-Jan Huntelaar is now the preferred target as Hodgson is trying to sabotage his talks with Man City.
Bridge, I think, would be an excellent signing but now sure £8 million is a realistic pricetag given the injury situation. It'd certainly be colourful when we went to Stamford Bridge.
