Players we tried to sign...

[street end]

Tor Andre Flo, then he bagged a load for Chelsea because we wouldn’t pay an extra half mil for him when we signed Myrhe

 

[Leylo]

Shearer, well the rumour at the time 12m bids for him and we bid 6m.our season tickets were up for renewal at the time we always used to do that.

 

[Groucho]

Dion Dublin and perhaps things would’ve been different.

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Shearer, well the rumour at the time 12m bids for him and we bid 6m.our season tickets were up for renewal at the time we always used to do that.

Yep,we sent the fax with the "bid" after he had already signed if I recall correctly!!

 

[tim gabbott]

Sigi
Awobie
Walcot
Sandro
Bollasie
Omour niasee

O sorry read the title wrong

 

[dublinbluenose]

Riquellme
Boban
Mouthino

 

[billyblue80]

Moutinho
Bellamy
Ofoe

 

[Bagpuss]

Robbie Keane and Dean Ashton aswell but we ended up with James Beattie instead... Gary McCallister would have been a good signing for us aswell when he had his swan song across the park.

 

[blulouie]

Some Portugeezer

Watch this space

 

[Papa Shango]

Shearer, well the rumour at the time 12m bids for him and we bid 6m.our season tickets were up for renewal at the time we always used to do that.

Close but not quite, it was when Newcastle bought him for 15M and we tried to muscle in with a last minute bid of 12M.

Peter Johnson eh?

 

[ihcakoma]

The correct answer is Virgil van Dijk, they would be a lot worse, we would be a lot better

 

[collymcd]

Manuel Fernandes. That game against Arsenal while he was on loan was magic. The Marseille turns and threading balls through the eye of a needle were sublime to watch. He was sitting in the stand watching us during the transfer window. Slipped right through our fingers at the last minute.

 

[Bishop Thumpety-Thump]

Dion Dublin.

Slightly off topic but wish we'd got Clough as manager. We got Bingham instead iirc?

 

[Ivo]

Giroud

 

[ToffeeTim]

Kyle naughton
