Coneheadjohn Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Players we were in for who we missed out on and probably regret it,include players who got better offers elsewhere or where a club tried to have our pants down(Ollie Watkins?). Saw Michael Antonio on Sky this morning,I believe Mac was after him at one point for 3/4 million? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TuffLuff Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Yakubu was a pretty obvious one although how much of it was our actual fault will lead to some debate, but it’s oribsvly the worse Woodley Ram, Derbyram1983 and BaaLocks 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaaLocks Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) But seriously, I do like questions like these - of course the alternative also applies, which are the ones we are glad got away. Let's not do the ones we wish had got away (Claude, Fagan) or even the ones we wish hadn't got away (Will, Huddlestone). Blimey, enough to make your head hurt...... The Ones That Got Away: - Kodeja - Nugent (2008) - Kazimeyra Deyna (we were rumoured to have been after him in the seventies, that would have been fantastic) - Daniel Passarella (another one that we were after in the seventies) The Ones We Are Glad Got Away - Gary McSheffrey (we apparently bid something like £6m for him - ouch!) - Ian Storey Moore (wouldn't have added much) - Roberto Baggio (glory signing but showed he would have been way past it) Edited October 5, 2018 by BaaLocks Coneheadjohn and LeedsCityRam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale The Ram Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Mbappe and Dembele Adam Smith for Bournemouth? Technically a starting premier league player, wasnt exactly a star when he was here so doubt anyone would have seen it coming. mike93rh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Henri Lansbury, in to his 3rd season at Villa now, played 23 league games. On a reported wage of 40k a week, another 2 seasons left on his contract. https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/report-reveals-startling-wages-aston-14753792 Anyone upset he got away?

Van der MoodHoover Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Fernando Forestieri and Jota The former has had one decent season and some alleged thuggery. The latter has done nothing of note since moving from Brentford to Brum. Coneheadjohn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackworthRamIsGod Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) Eidar Gudjohnson and Jonaton Johansson very nearly became our forward 2. Also, we refused to pay 400k for Charlie Adam.

mike93rh Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Thought this about Tom Carroll when he was a Tottenham starter - anyone know how he's been getting on at Swansea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Harford Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Ray Houghton was rumoured to be coming here from Oxford, for some reason chose Liverpool instead. Carlos Valderama trained at the Ramarena although unsure if he was ever a realistic signing. Lubos Kubik, and Ivo Knoflicek as some form of insane Maxwell deal. Rather pleased that we didn't get Jason Steele last season. ivo_knoflicek 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViewsFromTheMiddle Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) Sam Vokes. Was only going to be a season-loan but could’ve signed him if worked out. Didnt happen because Hulse’s move to Boro fell through. Edited October 5, 2018 by ViewsFromTheMiddle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
