Bloody hell, he was trying to sign Zabaleta for us before City came for him.

I haven't had a chance to listen to this interview yet, so I don't know what else has been mentioned.

However, I do remember that Hughes also wanted to sign Kompany for us along with Zabaleta and Lassana Diarra.

Thinking back to the squad we had back then...with a couple of rocks at the back in Nelsen and Samba, plus Bentley, Morten, Tugay, Benni, Roque. Imagine adding Zabaleta, Kompany and Diarra to that squad. To a squad which had just finished 7th.

It wasn't to be, but it was not for the want of trying. We've had the opposite of that for 13 years now and that absolutely stinks.

Yeah - I think not sanctioning around £5M for Lassana was the last straw for Hughes and he started actively looking to leave.

Correct, but the Arse wanted more than £5M. I think Pompey paid between £8M - £10M for him.
