Players you wished had stayed longer

[Gary James]

Peter Barnes, was gutted when we sold him to West Brom

So was he. I'm writing his authorised biography at the moment. Some very interesting tales from throughout his career.

Goater, Pantilimon, Benarbia, Corluka, Arason, Tskhadadze.

Was gutted Goater left just as we left Maine Road. Would have loved to see him play at the Etihad.

What possessed him to go to the rags

It'll all be explained in the book but basically he wanted to move to the Manchester area and Utd actually wanted him. He'd worked with Big Ron before, so it all made sense. Had City shown interest he'd have come here - he'd tried to return a few times in the early 80s (Bond almost signed him).

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Mark Lillis.
One season and swapped for a donkey who played about 8 games and was flogged on.

 

[Blue Hefner]

I think we could have got another year out of Goater and I think we sold Nicolas Jensen too early

Also, Anelka. If we kept him another 6 months he could have got a better move

Thanks Gary I always thought he’d have done well at Everton kind of guessed he wanted to be back in the NWest
