True he wanted Dani Alves, Simão Sabrosa
The best bring in less turd
And Villa, Silva & Javi Martinez (but wasn't granted the funds to sign them at the height of our success under him)
Soto was a beast for us when he was needed. Not starting 11 quality on a full time basis, but he put in a number of great shifts for us when needed and chipped in with a couple of important goals too.
I thought Insua was decent, he just sorely lacked in one area and that was pace. He had none whatsoever and that was where he was constantly caught out.
