Wha?

None the wiser.

There is an old clip of two Indian men cursing badly in English, people keep dubbing it over other clips, like when Pep was argueing with Aguero after subbing him off -

Shearer's always been one of my favourite non-Liverpool players. Possibly because he rebuffed Utd twice and would have improved them considerably but I always liked him.
We almost signed Le Tissier and allegedly Maradona at one point in the 80s, ah the ones that got away.

That article from Owen seems a bit pointless. All he's going to do is make himself seem like a bigger tit than he already is in the public's eye. Certainly to Newcastle fans.

I get the impression he wanted to give his side of the story and thought it would do his reputation some good, but the execution of his story can only have done the opposite.

Loic Remy too

Simao! Dani Alves (would have been amazing, ended up with Glen Johnson), Gareth Barry, Alex Teixeira, Eriksen before he went to Spurs


The one I always think of is Konoplyanka - this place was in meltdown that winter transfer window and people were certain he was the only way to secure CL qualification. Nearly won the title that year.

I remember a lot of debate when Depay went to United, and Firmino joined. People were gutted to miss out on Depay.

To be fair to posters on other threads - a good few of them recognised that Bobby could be a fantastic signing.

I always remember the story of Roy Keane turning up to sign for Kenny at Blackburn but when he got there no-one was at Ewood Park (I picture him banging on the gates trying to get in) he got into a huff and went off to sign for Fergie. That was unfortunate, to put it mildly.
I think Bobby Charlton tried to get Kenny to sign for Utd or maybe it was Busby. On balance I guess we did ok.

I've never heard that version! One I heard was he promised Dalglish he would sign but they could only od it on the Monday, Ferguson got wind of it and got a deal done over the weekend before Keane was due to sign.

Only 2 players out of all of them who turned out good enough, Dani Alves and Eriksen, the rest went on to achieve little and looked worse doing so

We've been trying to sign Bent since that Liverpool sign not hit by a car.

Lee Bowyer!!

Iirc the fans stopped that one happening.

Michael Owen v Shearer on twitter! Getting serious!

Shearer would have been an incredible signing

Wouldn't this have been 2004 so Shearer would have been around 34, well past his best, interesting tho he could of been part of the Istanbul folklore

Dele Alli was another one we were talking to

Also there was the famous Jordan Henderson for Clint Dempsey swap!

Gareth Barry would have been a great signing at the time.

Not at the expense of Alonso, but he was a good player.

Was only reading the other day he is still playing!

mkhitaryan was a recent one, hard to know whether we dodged a bullet or could he have worked out.

From what I've seen at Utd and Arsenal we definitely dodged a bullet, he doesn't have anywhere near the work rate that would be required , he's such a flaky looking player sort of a poor man's Ozil, seems to lack heart which I appreciate is hard to quantify but that's the impression I get from him.

Simao

Of the players we did sign i loved morientes and litmanen
