The fee was outrageous but still think he would have been a good signing at the time. We were crying out for an old-fashioned bully up front and I think he would have linked up well with Vardy

Agree. Not really a dodged  bullet - I think he would have been a handy signing

I reckon One could better catagorise.

1) Ones who were willing to sign & come, & it was Leicester who said No...

2 )Or those who came,After being Chased by others..& Gems developed..

3) Or Simply

Yes, that could've potentially been another Heskey/Collymore partnership up front at the time, as short lived and golden as though the latter one turned out to be of course once Emile went to liverpool....

Anyone but Slimani.

According to Danny Mills we were meant to sign him when he was at Leeds. Good job we didn't, he's a right knob.

Remember hearing, he apparently wanted to come as he had a bust up with O'Leary at Leeds and looking for a way out. O'Leary wouldn't let him go.

Good championship defender. Didn’t we end up with Alex Bruce instead? Gerrard was better imo

Is it too early to say Isco?

Speaking of Brazilians, Luan from Grêmio was definitely a bullet dodged, he's declined steeply since he was linked that summer

[Incognito]

Yep. Liked him for the Brazil Olympic team but since then... 👎

Wrote an article detailing our most memorable transfer sagas. There are ten players included (recent and not so recent), but one thing for sure is that we certainly dodged a bullet with a fair few of them.

From Iranian to Israeli pretty great confusion mate

[Corky]

Didn't Savage (who was past it) beg Pearson to sign him on loan in League One? Stuck with King and Oakley which was the right decision.

Hahahaha no problem it's just unfortunately the governments of Israel and Iran are sworn enemies (on paper), just made me laugh thag aspect. No problem we all make mistakes brother!! 

[Trelleh]

Apparently we were close to signing El-Hadary the Egyptian goalkeeper and then opted to go in for Kasper instead

[surrifox]

Didn’t we pursue McGoldrick over 2/3 transfer windows . A lot of energy expended trying to get hold of a player Most thought would be terrible for us 

[tsintskaro]

We were going for Ben Yedder after that 2015/2016 season. He did great in France and Sevilla brought him for 8 mil

and we got Slimani...
