Ahead of tomorrow’s match, I found myself thinking about potential starting lineups and was genuinely excited to see Bruno again. It got me to thinking, we have a nice little record of making signings from Sporting:
Cristiano
Nani
Bruno
The one potential blotch on that record, for me, is Rojo. Whilst not the worst player I’ve ever seen, I don’t think I could call him a successful signingAnyway, those signings ensure we have a nice record of signing players from Sporting. Whilst this is far from comprehensive, I’ve had a little think about other crops of players we’ve signed from one club.
PSV:
van Nistelrooy
Stam
Park
Memphis
Spurs:
Berbatov
Carrick
Sheringham
Leeds:
Cantona
Ferdinand
Smith
Blackburn:
Berg
May
Jones (lol)
Fulham:
Saha
Van der Sar
Smalling
Everton:
Rooney
Fellaini
Lukaku
Monaco:
Martial
Barthez
Evra
I was thinking about Atleti and Villa as potential options; however, I couldn’t quite recall any other transfers from the respective clubs, other than:
Villa:
Yorke
Young
Atletico:
Fortune
De Gea
To substantiate any claim, I tried to cite at least three signings from one club. With that said, it’s not rigid and fewer signings of a higher quality, could supersede more signings of less quality. Based on those I have provided, I’d lean towards Sporting, Leeds, Spurs or PSV. Having said that, I’ve probably missed something glaring and made a fool of myself.
Anyway, what do we say, chaps? From which club do we have the best track record of making signings from? Also, if this has already been done, I sincerely apologise and feel free to delete/ignore.
