The ones that got away...

[composter]

Anyone remember the Ravinelle fiasco,when he turned up at GP it was like a scene from the Godfather

Aye but to be fair, if I remember rightly him and his goons did one when he found we weren't going to buy him a house and pay his tax and gas bill etc on top of his wages

 

[jackyboy]

hazard and dzeko and moutinho.

great thread to get us in a good mood?

Just fancied a change from the Moyes palava.

 

[Phil86]

I could be wrong but I'm sure it was in the papers in Moyes' first summer of '02 that he wanted Cech but we couldn't work out a fee, so ended up with Richard Wright.

 

[Sylvain]

I always thought Scott Parker in 2005 would have been a great signing, had newcastle not blown us away on wages.

 

[MartSlinger]

Petr Cech. Linked with him and Essien before they both joined Mourinho at Chelsea.

When I was playing for Blackpool's academy side around this time, Moyes' son was in our side. Moyes occasionally came down to watch. My dad approached him on the touchline during one game and asked 'if there was one player you could sign who would it be?'
Answer: Scott Parker

first thought, ffs the one that got awayyy

 

[GT5]

steve mcmanaman.

 

[Jags..class]

Alan Smith

..when I think of the ones that got away, I think more of the ones we actually had on our books . I'm thinking that we had Jags and Baines as youngsters and had to pay big bucks to get 'em back. I'm sure this happens with a lot of clubs, but now Macmanaman is apparently on our radar after letting him go for a bag of crisps years ago.

 

[mawders]

Ruud Gullit under Gordon Lee

 

[mawders]

Alan Smith

give over, man

 

[nsno-chris]

Deco; didn't he have a trial at us?
Yaya Toure; Moyes really wanted him, always remember, went to Barca instead (hard choice i know)
Dino Baggio
Pierluigi Casiraghi
Kevin Kuranyi

 

[hktoffee]

Petr Cech. Linked with him and Essien before they both joined Mourinho at Chelsea.

I remembered reading that Cech news on Daily Fail in the common room...long time ago.
