Strangest Player We Were Meant To Sign

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Saunders was dirty. That foul on nice man Paul Elliot.

He should have been sine died for that.

Thats what happens when you signand play for the rs
Your mentality changes

Savage........

 

[Jamo Martinez]

There was a rumour that a young Ruud Gullit was on trial but didn't impress HK

 

[ToffeeDan]

Think some Brazilian lad had a 2 game trial at Goodison about 50 years ago - scored in the first one as well. Nothing came of it though. Think he was called Pele.

Martin Dahlin I think he was called, striker for sweeden. Remember watching all his matches at the World Cup only for him to sign for villa I think.

Gordon Lee it was I think Jamo,he went and signed Sharpie instead so I suppose it didn't work out too bad eh?!!

My bad. Knew it was early 80s. didn't remember it being that early.

Moyes was pretty serious with a bid for Michael Essien IIRC, from Bastia in ligue 1.

Not particularly strange I guess, just a shame that we missed out on someone who went on to be genuine world class [Essien absolutely ruled the midfield for a few years at Chelsea].

Tried to sign him and Peter Cech in his first summer.

I remember the story,Gullit was with the dutch side Haarlem and was unknown at the time.

 

[Dario Terracotta]

I'm sure we were offered Rush at the same time and the skull sent him packinglol

 

[Badge1878]

Yarmalemko, Banega, Manny Fernandes to name but just a few; our boardroom walls must have heard some tales that would sound unbelievable if they were ever heard.

On the flip side we got John Spencer, Mark Hughes & John Oster over the line so we can't be all that bad eh? Just strange.

Explain please

15th September 1994 was a day to forget for Evertonians

Waking up on 15th September 2017 wasn't any better either..

Leroy Fer, Vadis Odijda Ofoe...

Billy Bremner and Kenny Dalglish (as a young player) allegedly - in the Ones that got away Category.

Mustafi goes under the Why did we bother if we weren't going to play him Category

Per K (as in Perr-que?) and Niasse in the Whose smart Idea was this.. probably squeeze in James Beattie and Jeffers/McFadden loans as well.

Any remember a guy called Finn Tricker?

Came over on trail in the 70's, I think.

3 stone overweight and utter rubbish apparently, straight from Bellfield to Liverpool airport for the next flight back to Scandinavia.

Who arranged this Thin Frucker - Was it an Irish Mr Spooner?

I bet we'd have given Ali Dia a 2 year contract as well if his "cousin" had phoned Mike Walker.
