Everton transfers that seemed *done*

... but fell through and left you gutted.

I'll start with "Mikael Forssell"

Remember he failed his medical, then he denied he had one and then retracted his denial...

Müller.

But that was probably for the best... He was more of a Sir Jim'll Brexit For You signing, what with him being an immigrant tax avoider and what not.

Gbamin. I thought he'd signed for us but turned out he was playing for the royal Liverpool hospital fir 4 years

Riquelme.

I was genuinely excited about it as a teenager and I’m still waiting

An oldie here but I believe on the back of us winning the title in 1970 we pretty much had Archie Gemmill in the bag from Preston,Cloughie pretty much stole him from us for Derby,we ended up with Henry Newton Everton that

Been more gutted by some of the transfers that didn't fall through TBH

Vadis Odija Ofoe. Kompany was bigging him up as the next great Belgian midfielder and his highlight reel was brilliant. Then as usual the good old Everton work permit struck again (only ever seemed to strike us back in the day)

Kyle Walker - we went for Kyle Naughton who went to Spurs, so we went for Sheffield United’s other right back Walker and I thought we’d get him as Spurs were out the picture but in a hissy fit Levy took him as well. It was right in the peak of his obsession with Moyes’ transfer dealings every window.

Arshavin - it seemed possible for so long until it wasn’t.

I sulked with Bolasie big time.

Think we missed out to the other lot for Saunders and Collymore. Both unlikable characters but decent goal scorers

Leroy Fer. Failed his medical.

 

[Marcus Kendall]

Leroy Fer, wasn't he on the plane to sign?
