You know, looking back Bolton had quite a talented team of players in their twigh-light years. Were the majority of these players signed by Big Sam? I forget.
Did he really play for them?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) look forward to a new life under Ruben Amorim. What system will we be playing? What players will impress? and how will it all go? We also say goodbye to Ruud Van Nistelrooy and review United's 3-0 win at home against Leicester City.
Just started laughing at this. Who can forget those photoshops
Ashley Cole at Roma
Has this thread gone from 'never recalling him playing for that team' to 'surprised that player went there or that team signed the player'
Big Sam was clearly a fan of Champ Man. Crazy the amount of 'legends' he brought to play for Bolton.
good one.
Aye, you say Fiorentina and he is one of the first three names that comes to my mind.

I meant just Nuno Gomes. I was just stupidly describing the photo
Remember Aubameyang at Milan?
I didn't.
His father is/was a scout for Milan and Aubameyang has been "formed" there.
Pique - United
Aguero at Athleti
I don't have a clue who the other two are but I exclusively associate Martinez with Wigan.
Which still isn't a weird as this:
My favourite part about this was when he came on against Barça in one of the games when they played each other about 15 times in a month in every competition and all he did was kick the shit out of any Barça player he got near. It was so blatantly obvious he wasn't doing anything but fouling them it was hilarious.
Well technically he hasn't played yet.
Paulo Sousa - Inter
Robbie Keane - Inter
Pique - United
Aguero at Athleti
I am pretty sure everyone born pre 2003. isn't surprised by any of these.

For Milan he was excellent - particularly in the first season. The first game was a little awkward because Pirlo refused to pass to him. Ancelotti benched Pirlo for a few games and all went smoothly after that. My abiding memory of his performances there was a little cameo where, with Beckham ahead of him on the right, Pirlo contrived to lose the ball about halfway into their opponent's half. A rapid counterattack ensued as Pirlo stood and watched. The result was a shot that beat the keeper and was cleared off the line - by Beckham. Ancelotti and Capello both understood that what they got with Beckham was an area of the pitch that they didn't have to worry about. They told him what needed to be done and he did it - with 100% effort all the time.
Fecking Aguero and Rui Costa?
This is more like it.
Ryan Nelsen - Tottenham
Julio Cesar only joined us so that he can be ready for the 2014 World Cup. It's nice to know that we allowed him to join the Brazil squad and finish 4th with them.
Oh yeah, Ryan Nelsen was our head coach for a period of time, and he brought in big-name players like Michael Bradley and this guy:
Ex Everton player Thomas Gravesen
Not the best shout I don’t think. Most will remember easily.
Aguero at Athleti
Was looking for a picture of George Best for Hong Kong Rangers, but here's one from Nuneaton.
Holy shit

Holtby at Spurs seems like it fits
