Who was top drawer before we bought him. Thia might be one for the dinosaurs (stan)... Torres and suarez became top with us sg owen mcmanaman youth dev. I cant think of 1. King kenny or keegan?
I don't know what you mean by top drawer if you mean maradona or messi we have never bought anyone like that but neither has any British club. I would say Suarez was the last one and Torres before that.
IF YOU WANT TO BE HEARD SPEAK SOFTLY - BOB PAISLEY
I mean one that was already established top tier ( not necessarily world player of the year but at that table). The equivalent of a bale suarez ronaldo messi kroos fabregas costa neymar yaya established top tier players
Suarez was the last player we bought whom was likely to be a top player. Every player since has been in the 6th place category of player and of that group only sturridge has out performed consistently.
