So rather than being crucial to the signing they were simply after the fact information providers. I do not think that players even ones as important as Bradley and Jozy have squat to do with transfers, nor should they. If we relied on best friend recommendations for transfers, we would have a crap team.
OK, thanks for checking that. I didn't say that the idea to sign him came from Bradley and Jozy though...
