We bought 'em too late

[JGL07]

Tony Book.

He was 31 when City signed him and they got less that ten years out of him.

If they had signed him ten years earlier think what he could have done on the pitch.

He could also have helped rebuild the main stand!

I don't think Skip was even playing league football ten years earlier.

Joe Royle.

??? Being a bit harsh, arn't you Droylesdon ? He did well for us - both as a player and manager......

With him, Kidd, Tueart and Barnes, we had a good, entertaining and successful strike force in the mid/late '70's......

Maybe but he wasnt the player that played for Everton in the early 70's, an injury or two had taken their toll.

Bosvelt and Vieria

Can't believe I forgot Vieira. He actually couldn't run by the time we got him.

Thought he was alright still played. Had a handful of decent games for us!

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Glauber Berti

 

[The_mace]

Robbie Fowler? Don't think he's been mentioned. He was my child-hood hero, when I was young (and stupid) and supported Liverpool because my best mate did.

 

[bluemurray]

Paul Walsh, but also guilty of selling him far too early as well!

Banarbia is an obvious case also, his swansong season was with us as was Mr Pearce's.

Fowlup and MaManananananaman just couldn't give a sh*te at any point, both still had age on their side.

Andy Cole, should have kept him another season to.

 

[baildon blue]

Peter barnes the 2nd time he wasnt the player who broke into tony books league cup winning team!!!!
