foxile5 Posted 23 January 2020 Posted 23 January 2020 Watching Everton I can't help but think that our one time public target Gylfi Sigurdsson must really look upon turning us down as a missed opportunity. Similarly Jordan Vertout must really regret his decision to choose Villa over us. Obviously these transfers almost surely would have changed the status quo, things wouldn't be the same if they had been made, but they must be looking on their decisions in a negative light. Can anyone think of any more instances where denying the city was a poor decision?

Fox42 Posted 23 January 2020 Posted 23 January 2020 Weren’t we once linked with Lewandowski or an I making that up?

foxile5 Posted 23 January 2020 Author Posted 23 January 2020 Curtis Davis too. On route to join us but opted for Villa.
urban.spaceman Posted 23 January 2020 Posted 23 January 2020 Charles Aranguiz. Wanted to go to a Champions League club. Got a long term injury in pre-season while we won the league.

Jobyfox Posted 23 January 2020 Posted 23 January 2020 The weird thing is that if Veretout had joined us then we almost certainly wouldn’t have signed Kante and then probably not won the league. He might then be thinking he should have joined Villa

Beliall Posted 23 January 2020 Posted 23 January 2020 Esteban Cambiasso choosing to not renew his contract must have stung a little

HybridFox Posted 23 January 2020 Posted 23 January 2020 Remember being annoyed Craig Mackail-Smith choose Brighton over us . How it's all gone downhill for him
TheLittleBigMan Posted 23 January 2020 Posted 23 January 2020 I can understand him choosing to go to Everton at the time, it's the other 800 players they've brought in since that I can't fathom.
foxile5 Posted 23 January 2020 Author Posted 23 January 2020 Nicky Maynard must find a place in here. Hardly been on his uppers since.
