Michal Kadlec
Jesus, remember this one? We’ve been linked with this guy three or four times now, a guy who almost did sign for us once and which seems to have given the media license to resurrect the story as often as they want, no matter how unlikely.
We were linked with him for the first time before he signed for Sparta Prague in 2005, and then again for each one of the three years he was there. When he was linked with Leverkusen in 2008 we were linked again, and then in 2013 when he went to Turkey.
This one is definitely just Lazy Journalism; whilst our interest was real back in 2005, and might even have been real in 2008, we had moved on by the time he went to Turkey; he was 29 then, past his peak, and Izzy was at the top of his own game.
Whilst we needed backup that’s all he would have been at that point but it didn’t stop the press taking a punt.
The irony, of course, is that Kadlec would have been a decent signing back in 2005, and then in 2008.
He was young and he had the stuff to be a big player.
