Not surprising that Sanchez will look to grab some of his players from when he was manager at Northern Ireland and that was probably the difference in Baird going to Fulham instead of Sunderland. Both sides may well be fighting to stay up so it's a good boost for the Cottagers. |
I like what Fulham has done so far: Diomansy Kamara (£6M), Baird (~£3M), Aaron Hughes (~£1M), Steven Davis (£4M), and they have apparently signed Paul Konchesky (£2M) and David Healy (£1.5M) as well.
Sanchez got all 4 Northern Ireland internationals that he wanted. He's still got about £7.5 left of the £25M Al-Fayed gave him for this period.
