Dodging bullets: Players Everton were heavily linked with that you were glad we never signed.

Is that 'Burnley's Best Player' Steven Defour?

He's rubbish.

Craig Bellamy. A bad apple we came close to signing in 2005 when Newcastle got rid.

oh no wait we did actually sign him... or the ghost OF him

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

Moussa Sissoko. Easy.

Without question.

I was jumping for joy when Spurs came in for him.

Koeman and Walsh had an eye for a player didn't they.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/e/everton/3604694.stm This guy not only did he play for Liverpool he was just rubbish, this transfer was so close to being done that pundits in the papers had him in the predicted line up's for the Saturday game, I was fuming with it, but it was in the days before social media so I couldn't complain about it to strangers online.

I actually wanted him myself and think he would have done well,but off cause,cause massive problems probably,but we would off course never know.

This. A thoroughly unpleasant individual, thank God Moyes thought better of it. Overrated as well.

Bellamy was allegedly 'unimpressed' with Moyes after having talks with him so signed for his mate Mark Hughes, then at Blackburn, instead.

Probably been mentioned already but Shaun Wright-Phillips. He was Finch Farm close to signing for us.

 

[Groucho]

Either TV sports channel rumors, paper talk or conversations in the ale-house

It’s only a dodged bullet if we were actually in for them though.

Sissoko as others have mentioned

And Carvalho
