Not as a player but as manager.

Them two defenders from Sheff Utd.

Ever Banega and his work permit.

David Moyes: "Ever is on a year's loan. If he's good we will keep him, if not we can always send him back. Our application for a work permit has been passed and hopefully we will get to see him in a few days. He has very good ability and is a little bit similar to Mikel Arteta in lots of ways in that he can retain the ball and pass it."

Bobby Robson back in 70’s had agreed to come to Everton as new manager from Ipswich, John Moores gave him a Cheque for 50k and Robson only stipulation was not to announce it as Robson wanted to tell his bosses at Ipswich, he woke up the next morning it was all over the papers, he ripped up the Cheque and sent it back to Moores.

I was heartbroken over Manny Fernandez at the time, ended up opting for Valencia at the last minute didn't he?

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.
