Whilst he's no Baggio, we apparently missed out on a young Yakubu because we couldn't get a work permit for him. Mysteriously, he turned up at Portsmouth later that season with a very wealthy agent... coincidence? Nah.

Turned up for 'Arry Redknapp's Portsmouth, with a nice new Italian bride....

David Nugent, when he chose Portsmouth. Think how lethal the bloke could have been for us over the years. 

like with every other club he has been at, he would have lasted 2 season max before moving on to another club

Yakubu was brought to the club by John Gregory, he was indeed at Derby, training, and playing friendlies / U23s or whatever it was called back then. Couldnt get a work permit to play first XI matches because at this point I dont think he was an established international.

In his time at Macubi haifi (or however you call the Israeli side), he had married an Italian girl, and thus got a dual african/EU passport, after this Pompey had no problem getting a work permit for him.
