I sometimes wonder 'what might have been?' when we got a decent player, but it just didn't work out for whatever reason.

I can think of Colin Todd in the late 70s. A previously good player, and an England international defender, but probably came to us at the wrong time of his career.

Then, alternatively, there's Nigel Martyn, who was still great for us but came too late for it to last.

We can add eto'o, gazza and ginola to that list too. Mid twenty versions of those would have been alright

Tore Andre Flo, we were getting another one at the same time before they both went to Chelsea (can't remember the letters name)

mark hughes? Nah. Even when hughes was in his prime, Graeme Sharp was still better.

Richard Gough, though.

....not sure you would call it a 'transfer' but Andy Gray had an interview with Peter Johnson and it wasn't for a job at Park Hampers. Sky TV intervened, who knows how that might have turned out.

Apparently Johnson wanted Kendall as Director of Football and Gray as manager, but Gray said no and then Sky offered a huge contract

I regret missing out on Aaron Ramsey. He would've been an incredible signing if he progressed with us like he has at Arsenal.

Good call. That one was well documented too. It boiled down to us or Arsenal and he chose the latter.

Manual Fernandes was the one that sticks out most to me was really upset we somehow never sealed the deal. Could of been world class with Best little spaniard we knew at the the time
