[Wrighty Wrexham]

Berbatov apparently!!!!

 

[Ntini77]

Samir Nasri (when he was a boy)
Olivier Thomert

 

[Mr Partridge]

Benjani

Oh no that did happen, sadly...

 

[Blu KB]

david wetherhall failed a medical ahead of a 1.5m move

pep guardiola turned down a 6 month contract under pearce.

Just a shame he never signed would have helped us out big time

Yeah massively, funny how Pearce would only offer him a 6 month contract while giving Dickov 2 years!

Big Mal was very keen to sign Ian Rush from Chester.

 

[mancunial]

swales wouldn,t allow mal to sign rush, said were not paying 100 thousand for a fourth division player, mal also went for platini at one time,bookie tried to sign dalglish but swalsie said channon was a better option and he likes horse racing? another was ian wright but city wouldn,t up the fee by 100 thousand, geoff thomas (city fan by the way) said i would run all the way to maine road but must have stopped for a brew at wolves? not forgetting the big one the george best but city fans wouldn,t wear it.

 

[MCFC BOB]

Didn't we nearly sign Ludovic Guily while Keegan/Pearce were here?

 

[DaveH]

Leon best :( when he was at scunthorpe

 

[Uwe's 80s mullet]

i wonder if juve had not wrecked our appointment of claudio... Would he still be our manager today
