this drives me mad, was a woefully managed team not a woeful team. Players like Sorensen, MEllberg, Laursen, Bouma, Barry, Baros, Angel, Delaney, Cahill and Whittingham were all available to MON in that season
Spot on, MON inherited a tidy squad and had a bottomless wallet to use
Talk about scraping the barrel. Baros, Cahill (at that point in his career), WHITTINGHAM?! There's not even 11 players listed there, never mind a squad capable of lifting us up the table. Just to put it in perspective, our team against Arsenal on the first day of the season:
Sorensen, Hughes, Mellberg, Ridgewell, Samuel, Agbonlahor, McCann, Davis, Barry, Angel, Moore.
Subs: Taylor, Phillips, Hendrie, Laursen, Djemba-Djemba
