Close Calls: 'prospects'" we missed out on who turned out rubbish

[Anna]

I remember the Sean Davis saga, was devastated when the deal fell through, think we dodged a bullet there because correct me if i'm wrong but did we not sign Tim Cahill instead not too long after?

 

[Allezfan]

Haha did he not play for juventus aswell or am i wrong again?

Yeah that's the fellow. Had the talent, like but never seemed to dominate games like you would expect.

Bit like Bily in that you could see there was a player there but it never really came together in this league. Lucky miss for us, I think.

Manuel Fernandes was a prospect wasn't he? where's he now?

you take that back! *youtubes stepovers v arsenal*

Somebody I know in football is of the opinion that the jo deal is one that wouldn't stand too much scrutiny and is considered one of if not the 'worst ' of its type

That Kia JorabchianaAaan chunt is his agent, so im not surprised

Naughton would have cost 4.5 million wouldn't he? But Tottenham offered nine for both him and walker. And we picked up Coleman instead for 50 grand.

Same with Delph, Villa paid 5 million and we grabbed Gibson for 500,00 instead.

Kevin Doyle anyone? We could've signed him last January instead of Jelavic... Jesus Christ

 

[DrGreenThumb78]

Fabian Delph the Leeds "wonder kid" chose Villa instead of us I believe.

 

[Kurt.]

Lee Trundle..........

 

[Christiffa25]

I think nzogbia has gota be one of the best dodged bullets. A very expensive bullet at that!

Also very glad we missed out on Ramsey naughton an rierra?? Was it the guy who went to Liverpool.

 

[Neiler]

Mikel Forsell.

 

[trebilcock66]

OK, I'll say it.

Jack Rodwell

I think we were close to signing Maxi Rodriguez at one time before he signed for the RS. Apparently one question the American owners put to Dalglish was "Why are we paying this guy £100,000 a week when he never play for us?"
