Best came in after Burke left didn't he?
Though to be fair with that one, as terrible as Best was, I'm pretty sure even Hughton thought it was a long shot and our other options were a ****ed Mackail-Smith & Chris O'Grady.
I seem to remember one extremely prolific contributor to this forum being very upset that we didn't land Rhodes gargantuan contract and suspect attitude when you did. It certainly bears remembering given our ongoing search for a striker.
