Be fair. The World's Biggest Blue (TM) stated that he wouldn't sell him for £50m - and he didn't.

On topic (to avoid a telling off) and off the top of my head, Incoming signings good.... Kanchelskis. Couldn't believe that a) the best team at the time Man U would let him go and b) he'd come to us. - Really felt we were on the move. Deluded fool... Incoming signing bad... that turned out not so bad - Gary Ablett (RIP). Was on a coach on the way back from a 0-1 defeat at Old Trafford (Kanchelskis scored ironically) and the news broke. Incoming singing bad - that didn't disappoint - Earl Barrett, as it spelt the end of Matt Jackson and I thought there were more pressing areas to address.
Outgoings... all of the ones listed in the OP (Bally was before my time), but I voted for Lineker, as even as we were in the midst of our success, I realised then as a teenager that Everton would always disappoint me without fail. And they've delivered in spades.

Duncan Ferguson to Newcastle was a sickner. We got a good price for him considering his fitness record but to be sold at half time was poor and an indication of the way the club was at the time.

I was on a date with a fat barmaid the night Lukaku signed. Was going the bogs to get updates from that mad press conference that took 3 hours to get going. [Poor language removed] night. Made up to sign him in the end though.

True enough! The game was actually a much needed three points to us at the time. If memory serves me correctly I think Michael Ball scored a pen in a scrappy 1 nil win, it was the sky Monday night game. Michael Ball was another sale that was annoying as he was a real prospect at the time. Walter Smith was helping out his Rangers mates with that deal. Seemed to be a period in time when we did a lot of cross border trade with our Scottish neighbours.

Think they made use of the fact that we were out of Europe at the time,we paid dearly for it.
There has been some painful losses over the years, but ferguson without a doubt, that was an absolute killer! but then really every time newcastle came sniffing over that decade, beardsley, speed and ferguson in a row, just not right! but then grabbing the big man back did then bring the biggest smile ever back to my face!!

Don't remember being too gutted about Arteta, apart from the fact we only got £10 mil at the time. Was thrilled we got the amount we did for Lescott, and the Arsenal match finished him for me.
Was gutted about Rooney and also Ferguson. But being my childhood heroes it was Speed to Newcastle and Barmby to them. That was horrible. Almost as horrible as having to rely on heroes from the mid 1990s era!

I was in Dublin that day with work. Paid absolutely fk all attention to anything that was going on work related. Ran the battery down on my phone twice constantly refreshing different sites and Twitter. Had to go into a pub late afternoon to recharge it. They had sky sports on, and there was nothing on there at all, even though the internet seemed about ready to explode with the rumours.

One of the best days of my life was when we signed Lukaku. Had been for an interview that morning, came home and got a call 3 hours later offering me the job, and all of an hour later Romelu posted that picture of himself on a plane saying a new chapter. Was buzzing off my nut.

Remember tears when I heard about Duncan's transfer on the radio in the parents car, shocked and devastated.
Was on the boat to a trip to Goodison and creamfields when I was told by fellow blues that Rooney had handed in a transfer request which had me feeling similar emotions but there was little shock when the transfer finally went through just sadness, wasn't the best fee either.
Mikel was always a favourite of mine and I was willing the deadline to pass without the deal being finalised, then the timing just added to the shock and sadness.
Voted for Duncan because that was the one that hurt most, maybe because of my age.
All 3 of them had a serious affiliation with the club in one way or another and I'm not sure if losing any player this summer would leave me as gutted as those transfers, maybe Ross as it would be sad to see him leave having achieved very little whilst with us.
