Players you thought we would sign

[bennyboy]

Weren't we rumoured to be after pasquale bruno maybe around kendal or reids time. Remember watching football italia and he nearly cut someone in half and remember thinking he'll do

Signed for Hearts.
Took no prisoners.First Edinburgh derby he took out Darren Jackson with a tackle to the head.lol.

Remember Geoff Thomas saying he'd walk to Maine Road!

Has he arrived yet? Think he stopped off at Wolves...

During Peter Reid’s time we got very close to getting Ian Wright when he was at Palace - that might have been quite a signing.

 

[Southern]

Sanchez but a bullet was dodged. Instead we got Mahrez

 

[MrsCity]

Could’ve done with Son last night! We’ve been pretty spoilt, but Kaka is one that got away though 10 years ago, more recently Sanchez but he’s stunk it up for the rags

 

[mainemanc1066]

Paul Warhurst
Thomas Christiansen

Both around 1996/7?

 

[bluetonium]

Anders Limpar, we ended up with Beagrie though as part of the deal that took Limpar to everton.

Gareth Bale. Back when he was just a left back and spurs were looking to get rid, and we were in need of a left back desperately. Think the quoted fee was a couple of million, from memory.

 

[flinty1975]

Artur numan, went on for ages and he ended up at Rangers

 

[pace89]

Always thought we should have signed Joey Beuachamp after relegation in ‘96. I suspect we were wise not to.

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

Doubt it. He'd probably be a guest on BBC radio Manchester with Jimmy wagg
