Indeed. I'm guessing Robinho must have cost us about 15m.
Sources say 10m for Rob. He surely was an accessory there, he did not fit in Mancini's plans. (IMG:

Also rumor has it that Bori went for a salary of 2.8m euros, which was surprising for me. He will certainly have a lot of competition there too up front with Totti, Vucinic, Menez, drug smuggler Adriano, Baptista and the youngster Okaka. I guess the only logical reason why he went for Roma instead of Juve is because they are in the CL. Anyway, best of luck to all our former (and new players), with the exception of Kala. (IMG:

And guys, we may not agree on the signings, but please do keep in mind that we at least got some new blood in. Which is more than that could have been said an year (or even a month back). Sure better/favorite/alternate players were available for everyone we signed, but that's always the case isn't it? (IMG:
