Without selling him we wouldn't have been able to bring in May, Hope & Drenthe...and any other potential signings SG may make, without that we would have been a lot weaker, not saying anything against Antonio but our squad would be even more threadbare & our forward line would have been as weak as last season in terms of quality. MM knew that Mamma's takeover wouldn't happen so he decided that by selling Antonio we would have been able to bring in some players and improve the team...which I think the three players that came in after MA have done, had HM not been dodgier than Del Boy then Antonio would have still been here I think and the three players would have come in too, along with others.
Whilst MA in our current squad would make us even more dangerous, I'm still not upset about it as the three players SG was able to bring in are all good players whom have improved us.
Hope & Drenthe could have come without the sale as they are costing us next to nothing.
Apparently, would needed to sell Antonio to get May. My issue is that if we had Antonio then May would have scored more goals. In fact I reckon, we would be where Forest are now & they would be where we are now.
Antonio was outstanding again yesterday even though several Wednesday fans have said he was rubbish on another Forum. He still notched up another assist & won the MOTM.
The League could be very close this season & but for £800k, we could have got promotion.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
