LooneyToonArmy Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Mevlut Erdinc (not that keen on him at the time but desperate for a striker) Kevin Doyle (as above) Ewerthon (as above and free, after selling Carroll) Curtis Davies (back in his West Brom days) Olivier Kapo (Auxerre and Juve times) I remember the clamour for Erik Huseklepp and Per Ciljan Skjelbred on here too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bodson Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Callum Davenport before he went to Spurs. I also think we were in for Richard Dunne a while ago.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tyson Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Sergei Yuran, John Salako, Francis Jeffers With emphasis on the former. I'm glad the 'car demands' thing came up during the discussion of personal terms. KK picked up on something (re- his attitude) and rightly pulled the plug. The other one was Ibrahim Ba, for different reasons. Top player in France, when he was an emerging star. His time in Italy, in a league which is very restrictive (re- tempo, and pattern of play) for pure ball-carrying wingers, destroyed him. Ball-playing widemen (ie. wide playmakers) tend to excell in Serie, as opposed to busting-out. Solano would've been a great addtion to any Serie A oufit back in the day. His/Ba's move to Milan, to that league specifically, was the wrong move for a top talent suited elsewhere - most notably England where the emphasis one-on-one football (isolating defenders in space) is paramount. A serious leg injury, and having a accompanying red flag when he failed the medical, didn't help either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GM Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Hidetoshi Nakata. If only because it spared us the incessant pun-based jokes by the football hacks about "The Mag Nakata".... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 That Ronaldo kid, so glad we bought Vianna over him Did we actually ever bid for him? Think it was between those two, and we went for the latter IIRC Ronaldo refused to talk to us and said he was waiting for a bigger club, so bobby got in touch with saf and the rest is history. No wonder saf loved bobby. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Too many to think of over the years, but in more recent times, not re-signing N'Zogbia and not getting Maiga. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 David Beckham (bought Ronaldinho instead) Frank Lampard (would have blocked Iniesta's progression) David Trezeguet (bought Eto'o instead) Edgar Davids (on hindsight, he looked great while on loan but we became much better without him) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorJ_01 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Anyone said Gervinho? Gervinho. Basically all the ones we were linked to last summer that we didn't end up signing. They've all had obscure injuries/illnesses since. Maiga, for example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lesson to be learnt from this for players we are linked with: Sign for us, or you'll have a shite season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
