Robson: I wanted Carrick instead of Butt

[Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0]

To be fair this is a case of him sayign you can't have £3m for Carrick and then Bobby settling for the cheaper player available because he knew we needed a player in that position, rather than Fat Fred buying a player he didn't want.

That's how I interpreted it as well.

 

So who wanted to sign Beattie, Bobby or Freddie?

As for Carrick - I remember everyone saying he was shite and we'd only be signing him because he's a Geordie

 

Spurs took a chance and got lucky, not sure how long he'll stay with them.

Not everyone. Plenty of people on toonchat/toon-chat wanted to sign him.

Robson was delerious in his latter days at the club, could barely sign a cheque never mind a player.

I did for one

 

I was however, one of the few who thought Nicky Butt would be a successful replacement for Gary Speed. How I wish we'd stuck with Speed now!
