Clough did go for Moore. Openly admitted in a TV interview after retirement that he met him on the quite, he agreed to come if Derby approached West Ham then Moore got a fit of conscience told West Ham about the meeting and it went pear shaped. Jimmy Greaves was also massively close to coming to Derby but choose West Ham as he had a small business in London. Reckons he regretted it greatly.

How on earth did they slip through the net and end up at Forest. Whoever made that decision wants shooting. I think one of them may have been at Derby as a youngster?.

Both born in Derby, Ben Osbourn was on the books with Derby up until he was 9yrs old, then was released and picked up by Forest straight away. Jamaal Lascelles started off at Forest, his dad played profesional basketball for Derby Trailblazers. Gee SCREAMER !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggest miss out I remember was Yakubu. Couldn't sign him in 2002 under Gregory for a million just before the poo hit the fan due to not enough European appearances. Then he went to Portsmouth to get them promoted. Cheers Edited January 12, 2023 by Gee SCREAMER !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Ram Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Jim Smith was very close to signing Emmanuel Petit before he went to the Gooners ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was near Leicester when we were gazumped by Arsenal on a car phone. Got to the ground and went back. He was mad after we signed Asanovic for 600k and this was revenge I reckon?

Ted McMinn Football Genius Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Two that would’ve been complete and utter game changers were Lubos Kubik, and Ivo Knoflicek two Czechoslovakia internationals that were top class. Shame that didn’t materialise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derbados Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Not sure I if this is accurate or not, but weren’t we close to signing Roberto Baggio under the Jim Smith era? Premier ram, Reggie Greenwood, Ramarena and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skin em Ted Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I remember it being incredibly exciting when we almost landed Baggio. Who knows how it could've turned out... it may well have gone the way of Ravanelli or worse. Watching Eranio and Baiano together more than made up for not landing Il Divino Codino. Fantastic period under the Bald Eagle when Forest where in the doldrums and we were bringing in class acts from Serie A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Esteban Fuertes (kind of) - became a legend in Argentina. Dave Nugent in his younger days at Portsmouth almost joined in 2007. Yakubu definitely is a good shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
