Would of been a great signing at the time for us. I used to work behind the bar at the players lounge at Wembley. After the League Cup final between Birmingham and Arsenal all the pundits and the Birmingham players who were cup tied came up for their free bottles of Carling. One of those was Curtis Davies who I refused to serve until he apologised for not signing for Leicester the same season which made David Bentley spit take.
AKCJ Posted 24 July 2017 Posted 24 July 2017 Ousmanne Dembele. Fairly sure we were keen last summer for about £11m. Probably can't get him for short of 100m now.

deejdeej Posted 24 July 2017 Posted 24 July 2017 We were linked with every big name over the age of 30 in Sven's summer. Including Owen, Beckham and Van Nistlerooy. Couldn't even get a 33 year old Heskey in the end.

We should've signed him when crowned Champions... bloody Ranieri's crappy transfers Wasn't Blomqvist coming from Milan? I seem to remember getting all excited when i heard that MON had shown him round the club, only for him to sign for Man U instead. My memory is hazy at the best of times, mind.

Clever Fox Posted 24 July 2017 Posted 24 July 2017 Charlie Adams, We got lucky there. I wouldn't have minded Charlie Austin or Llorente
sylofox Posted 24 July 2017 Posted 24 July 2017 I wonder if Cambiasso wishes he had hung around for another year.

WestLothianFox Posted 24 July 2017 Posted 24 July 2017 Rod Fanni, would have been great hearing the commentators trying different ways to say his name.

BenTheFox Posted 24 July 2017 Posted 24 July 2017 Andrej Kramaric. Who knows how he would have turned out if he stayed here, but it was clear that he had quality.

Guest Posted 24 July 2017 Posted 24 July 2017 Despite being an arsenal fan, osama bin laden had trials with us in 84/85. he's dead now last i've heard.
Kitchandro Posted 24 July 2017 Posted 24 July 2017 It's easy to say in hindsight, some of these players like Lingard, Keane & Kane were absolute dogshit for us. Nobody could defend their performances for us, they looked out of their depth.

49er Posted 24 July 2017 Posted 24 July 2017 Pretty sure we were linked with Gylfi when he was in his 16 or 17. Didn't we try to sign Gareth Bale on loan when we were promoted back to the Championship? John Toshack almost signed for us in the 1970s and Allan Hunter of Ipswich. Rumours that we were also interested in goalscorers Beer (Exeter - but we signed Lammie Robertson instead) and Pettigrew from Motherwell.
