Davids was still effective for us, and obviously high profile. I was excited by his signing. But there's no point in further defining the marquee term - who gives a fuck? My point was simply that what successes we have had have not come via big money established stars.Klinsmann was a Sugar signing.
Davids was old.
I avoided mentioning the likes of Lamela and Bobby Soldier as they were not elite level names.
Where we may be turning a corner is in our ability to retain our talent. I'm hopeful that the days of losing the likes of Judas, Carrick, Luka, and Bale are behind us. Should we lose Poch then the club would look like a house of cards. If we can ensure a few seasons of champions league to coincide with our new stadium then I can't imagine Poch ever wanting to leave.
