Oh man. I was doing my paper round at the time, nearly had a fit seeing this on the stand. Sick, sick April Fools if I remember correctly. (Just noticed it says April 1st).

Who was the Brazilian lad we thought we'd signed in the 90s but actually hasn't? The board crapped out over his wages - the player essentially wanted what we offered AFTER tax so we bailed.

Muller

 

[Neiler]

David Nugent.

Muller

That was it! As a fan it was my first experience of a subsequent long line of Everton balls ups in the transfer market.

Must have blotted out his name.

Michael Essien we bid I think 3mill for him and wouldn’t go to the 3.5mill Lyon wanted.

Bully Beef.

Walter Smith had a deal lined up for Deco, some say he even came over and trained and played a behind doors game, deal never happened, three years later he was one of the best players in the world.

There are medicals.

And then there are Everton medicals.

Landon Donovan the big tease.

 

[Khalekan]

Not that I was “gutted” or owt, but the Dean Saunders fiasco was pretty embarrassing.

Ditto Leroy Fer.

Mata
Mourinho
Witsel

Riquelme without doubt the stand out, they actually had him as signed, and what a player he was.

The sickest joke Everton have played on us.

What happened there.

World Cup USA it was reported he was signing for Everton but ended up in Blackburn.

Jesus Christ, Dahlin is 50 now. Genuinely shocked at that.

Dion Dublin

Cost HK his job and probably why the prem has been crap for us. No leadership.
