The ones that got away...

Afternoon lids.

Apologies if a similar thread has been done before, just curious as to whether there have been any particular cases you have been gutted about missing out on a player. Regardless of how close it was to being completed.

To get the ball rolling I'll go with Banega. Always seemed more probable than Riquelme and always felt he would have been perfect for us. Would walk into our midfield now as well.

M'baye Niang, not really like but yeah, Ever Banega, top player and only needed a work permit.

We still might get Riquelme one day...
