And poor @Yid4life with probably his worst prediction ever:

A couple of things though, if Merson thinks it as a bad buy then that gives me confidence that he will be excellent for us. He could well be our best midfield signing since Jason Dozzell in fact.

Andy Gray as manager when he bottled it at the last minute?

We'd probably have gone down.

 

[Aberblue]

Steve Lomas. We almost signed him for £3.5M when that was a massive sum. Luckily, he failed the medical.

The moral of this story is: don't do business with 'Arry Redknapp.

 

[Blues Harp]

Shane Long....embarrassing

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

Who were you made up we never signed?

I'll start with Robbie Savage. For some sick reason "newpapers" tried to pimp him to us constantly with all that "He used to support the blues" nonsense.

Man, I'm glad I never had to endure that beaut in an Everton shirt. There's been plenty of of them we've actually signed down the years, but it was a masssive relief we never got him.

I did like the fact that at Blackburn he was laughing with the Everton fans who were taking it out of him. Rubbish player though.
