Was listening to VFTN and they were discussing these 3.
Do all clubs have these strikers?! Signed for how many millions between them? All score plenty of goals for the club at some level just we never get to see them for the first team!
Not even they don't cut it at first team level- they are just never ever seen.
Odd how similar the 3 of them have been with their city careers.
Wasn’t there another one, at the same time as Ferretti, name escapes me!Quote:

Some other good ones.
Our percentage of strikers we sign, often for millions, and literally never seeing is quite spectacular.
I get kanga and meite etc when they just don't work out but we see a lot of them- thats football.
But the ones that are absolutely prolific at under 21s etc and we just never see! Just intrigues me.
I think ferretti was the one Fergie recommended to us?! :hehe:Quote:

Some good sam quotes here about him. Did he play?

From memory (which isn’t great) he had a couple of appearances out wide
I remember malvin kamara out wide early on and looked really good.Quote:

3 were duds - but that is a great window overall
Didn’t we go on to sign whitts that January as well?
Reindorf has't scored in the league for the U21s, all of his goals came in the welsh league cup.Quote:

That transfer window and picking up Whitts in the January completely redefined us a a force at this level for the next 5 years. By far the best business we've done.Quote:

Weird transfer though, pay a decent fee for us in recent years to then loan him out when we actually needed a striker.
That is the club in a nutshell.Quote:
