Who's that one signing we missed out on that could have made a real difference to Everton during that particular era? Now I'm talkling about GENUINE links, none of these silly Riquelme rumours or ghost bids we made for Shearer (remember when we went through a period making these bids for people who we clearly knew we couldn't attract, but the board made a bid anyway just to fool the fans into thinking they were ambitious?).
So, this thread is about people who nearly signed for us, or who the manager at least wanted to sign but we were turned down. The ones that slipped through the net, who may have (potentially) improved us at the time...
I'll start off with a couple of goalkeepers.
The first, Peter Shilton, who Gordon Lee was supposedly going to bid for before he joined Notts Forest. Think he'd have improved us no end at the time, although this, of course, may have resulted in big Nev never joining us.
The second keeper I wished we'd have got was Nigel Martyn in the 90's, who joined Leeds instead thanks to a bungling Peter Johnson. I know he joined us anyway later in his career, but I sure wish he'd joined us at the first opportunity.
Any others?
