Players we turned down

[evertondotcom]

Missing out on Bellamy was ****.

The summer we missed out on Bellamy, Emre and Parker stands out, we could have really used those players.

the tale was that Moyes said to Bill "Give me 16million for Hazard & Dzecko & I'll bring you the prem league title in May" they couldn't give him the money, I think it was just after we played against Wolfsburg where Dzecko was, and Hazard had told Fellaini he'd love to come.

typical kenwright if true more arsed about staying efc chairman than winning us the league

One of my fave/annoying quotes from Howard Kendall about that.

He said:

it was like turning down the real Mona Lisa because you thought it was fake

No lid that was me.

I was with Everton til I was 12, but I was too small/weak, and we had to move down here anyway.

That was the summer headed into the Champions League wasn't it?

Instead we got Davies, Van Der Mayde, Ferrari, Kroldrup and Phil Neville...

Remember watching that, it was embarassing, Dzeko absolutely rinsed us that day.

Anyone remember the rumour linking us with his strike partner, Grafite? Looked quality him.

We were offered ronaldo 6 months before man u signed him for 12 million?

We'd never be able to cough up that.

Smith tired to sign Deco before he was Deco.

Not sure how true this is but wasn't Roy Keane linked with Everton before he signed for Man Utd?

Possibly the biggest mistake in our history. Honestly.
