Welcome to Barcelonaton FC
Going on from Whitebootman's "Players you could bring back" how about players you'd wished stayed longer at the club?
Either due to skill that was never developed, or just plain released at their peek, which players would've you have liked to stay longer.

We know the obvious candidates are...but....

Here's one from left field. Marco Materazzi.

Went from playing a handful of games for us before being sent off in the games he did play. Blossomed at Inter Milan, winning their player of the year for 2 years I think. Then became a World Cup winner as well as being involved in a scene that caused one of the best players in the world to lose his rag in the final game of his career.

Had captain written all over him, natrual born leader. He's just a nasty barstool of a player.
 
If he had not been mucked about with his position, and remained injury free, I think Michael Ball would have gone on to be a great player for us.
 
I would put Gary Lineker against ANY striker in the world at that time and when he left after just one season, it was a big let down.
I wish he would have stayed for a couple more seasons who knows what we may have won.
He was a goal machine by modern standards.
