The point is it was a long time ago. This is elite sport. Robins will choose the best candidate not someone because he once worked with them for a couple of years 20 years ago.

How many work colleagues from 20 years ago are you still mates with ?

I don’t believe so, and he certainly wasn’t mates with Adi or Dennis ….

Robins doesn’t normally do the lazy thing and go for a mate so it could be anyone ….

Less the quality more than intensity and quantity was the suggestion

If you could sign Hamer back for £9m would you ? I wouldn’t….. Not making an impact in Premier league and may have already achieved his maximum transfer value.

That would be a high quality problem and one hope we need to solve in the not too distant future

Why did they go in the first place then ?

If he was going to he would have in January …. I know for a fact Leicester have watched him on multiple occasions. They have 5 players on over £70k a week with Vardy on £140k. You can see why players heads get turned, and agents !

Playing in the Premier League for Chelsea is a step up from Sporting. Premier League and Chelsea are now global brands ( despite the last couple of Chelsea seasons ) …. If you apply your logic then moving from SP to Man United wouldn’t be a step up …

Yes and the Italians essentially for decades the worlds top players dominated their leagues and they didn’t come to England. Now the balance has semi shifted and they can see its structural and therefore are trying to create a different structure to be able to compete.
