yeah, thats what I meant

if we hadn't we'd have all talked about what would have happened if we had, so we had to sign him to find out

For me, exactly the same situ as huckerby, both were exceptional on loan, one didn't work out but was brilliant for a spell, the other still is exceptional

The only other time that boat should have been pushed out was for Crouch, but the price was a massive ask and we all understood why that wasn't done
