Players we were after and should have signed

[ijjysmith]

Joao Moutinho

(@MoutsGoat - never forget)

 

[B17BLG]

Mata?

 

[Fat Larry]

Tor Andre Flo or whatever he was called who went on to Chelsea and became a decent player...also led to the premature resignation of Royle when the board wouldn't sanction the transfer.

 

[Ash Cloud]

Yarmolenko

 

[Huyton Layne]

Always annoys me when boyhood evertonians turn out for the RS. Missed a few decent players that should have been ours.

Yep, McManamen, Fowler and Carragher all came through together. Pretty sure Fowler even had trials with us as a kid but Dalglish was personally driving him home from training to make sure he signed for the shyte.

Thing is now though, I think we have the lions share of any top local talent and 90% of parents would pick their kids to come to us over them. We've got a proven track record of at the very least players going on to have decent careers at other clubs.

Jason koumas

We tried to sign Peter Cech , we ended up with Richard Wright

 

[BigDunc'sFod]

Michael Essien.

Even as highly thought of as he is/was, still underrated. Exploding knees syndrome, but what a player.

 

[Lune1878]

Dimitri Payet

 

[mawders]

Jason koumas

He was quite rubbish though

An 18 yr old Ruud Gullit
