Not to bring EPL in to discussion, but here's hoping our due diligence is on par with the great Roy Keane as quoted from his autobiography.
On his criteria for signing – or not signing – players:
" "Robbie [Savage] wasn't in the Blackburn team and I asked Mark Hughes if we could try to arrange a deal. Sparky gave me permission to give him a call.
"So I got Robbie's mobile number and rang him. It went to his voicemail: 'Hi, it's Robbie – whazzup!' like the Budweiser ad. I never called him back. I thought: 'I can't be f---ing signing that.'" "
