Yep.

Gonalons is still there surprisingly. Decent player - forever been linked with a big move.

Kenyon the bastard. Essien was so good, think he would have been even better under Fergie. Carrick, Scholes Essien as a 3

Don't forget Jerome Rothen.

The glory days.

People on RedIssue being up in arms that Agahowa had gone to Shakatar whilst at the same time denying that Champ Man had owt to do with their opinion. Bit like Pure now.

The French Beckham

Tijani Babangida was God

20 pace

Stick him on the wing and he'd leave everyone for dead

Lovely left foot delivery, tbf. Good from set pieces. Highlights in hair. Face like an arse though.

We used to get linked to so many average players back in those days. No wonder we had a little slump around that time

Used to love the Nigerian players around that time. Victor Ikpeba

Tape over his left earlobe

I remember Ganso was the must buy player a few years ago. WTF happened to him?

So, any actual, real 2016 transfer news?

Nope just Champ Man from 2003

Ok, i'll go

Real Madrid are willing to pay £100m to sign Chelsea's Belgium playmaker Eden Hazard, 24. (Star)

That move could prompt Chelsea to pursue the signing of Real forward Gareth Bale, 26. (Mirror)

But Manchester United are hoping to sign the Wales international for £75m this month. (Mail)

Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola, 44, will become Manchester City manager in the summer. (Sky Germany via Sky Sports)

Should Guardiola move to City, the club will look to reunite him with Barcelona forward Lionel Messi, 28. (Express)

Guardiola could yet move to Manchester United - if they act quickly. The Spaniard has spoken to both Manchester clubs, turned down an offer from Chelsea and would also consider Arsenal. (Sun)

Youth prospects like Jonathan Spector, Floribert ('Bert') N'Galula, and Dave Jones. Red Issue forum outraged at the latter not getting any playing time.

Then K-Rich came though

Don't know much about him.

I remember one lad being adamant that Kenny Cooper was going to be better than Torres

Ligament injury

Moved to Sao Paulo blindly following his advisors

Inconsistency and more injuries

He's still young enough to make moves in Europe but he's been overtaken by younger players.

Champ Man 03/04 was immense.

Benjamin Onwuachi.
Allesandro Simonetta.
Emile Mpenza.
Diego.
Patricio Perez.

Destroyed teams.

He was slower than Mata before the injuries ffs

Matthieu Bodmer and Johan Vogel anyone

If this £10m Bojan clause is true, I'd be slapping in a bid right now.
