Never forget that "Fatty the Fraudster" is, and always will be starstruck, thinking that making big name signings will thrust himself into the limelight.
When though, has he ever been able to man manage one of these best signings ever?
Charlery ended up blowing the whistle on him in revenge, Whelan told people he absolutely hated him, Gascoigne was rumoured to have said he received none of the riches promised and what ever happened to Derek Lilley, who definitely trained with the squad but had packed his bags before kicking a ball in anger.
When the dust settles on the Pires rumour there will be another big name to keep the spotlight on himself and eventually no doubt he will get his best signing ever but when it comes to honouring the contract then history will repeat itself.
