Raj Posted 27 June 2007 Posted 27 June 2007 so much must go on behind the scenes we dont know about regarding transfers.anyone know of any good/ or bad players that have been close to signing that have fell through. Thierry Henry....honest!
Pete_foxes Posted 27 June 2007 Posted 27 June 2007 wasn't that Turkish guy mean't to sign for us, Hasan Sas? I think the last time we were in the premiership. Think it'd been announced that we were close, and then for 1 reason or another it fell through
General Smuts Posted 27 June 2007 Posted 27 June 2007 What about that dude who scored the corner against england artim sakiri werent we sposed to get him then he went to west brom instead.
Milky Posted 27 June 2007 Posted 27 June 2007 Adams wanted Nigel Reo-coker from MK Dons, but West Ham beat us to it. Only went for 250K or so i think.
Raj Posted 27 June 2007 Posted 27 June 2007 Lee Chapman nearly signed for us ...along time ago.....or did he nearly buy a house in Oadby!!!
dandannieldanok Posted 27 June 2007 Posted 27 June 2007 Apparently when we bought Connolly Adams had a choice of Marlon Harewood instead.
Pete_foxes Posted 27 June 2007 Posted 27 June 2007 Adams wanted Nigel Reo-coker from MK Dons, but West Ham beat us to it. Only went for 250K or so i think. I remember that, & also remember thinking Nigel Reo-who?
OriginalRobboFOX Posted 27 June 2007 Posted 27 June 2007 I remember that, & also remember thinking Nigel Reo-who? Milan said on RL that if he had of took the club on a bit earlier he had Alexi Smertin lined up....
lee7 Posted 27 June 2007 Posted 27 June 2007 Milan said on RL that if he had of took the club on a bit earlier he had Alexi Smertin lined up.... when did he say that
OriginalRobboFOX Posted 27 June 2007 Posted 27 June 2007 it was on a moan in show, when kelly was still in charge
Ajax Treesdown Posted 27 June 2007 Posted 27 June 2007 when did he say that Last night in bed apparently
syston_fox Posted 27 June 2007 Posted 27 June 2007 Didnt we very nearly sign Jason McAteer a few years back. Was even on the OS and then fell through if I remember right.
Cheese Me Posted 27 June 2007 Posted 27 June 2007 John Hartson was one I would have loved here. Have a weird feeling we came close to signing Macelo Salas too which would have been fantastic. Seems unbelievable now (probably was then too)
Graz Posted 27 June 2007 Posted 27 June 2007 Didn't Wankface have a choice between Ade Akinbiyi and Eidur Gudjohnsen? Ouch. (Not sure if that was the case, or whether it was just that Gudjohnsen was going for that price at the time, but I've seen it mentioned before)
Pete_foxes Posted 27 June 2007 Posted 27 June 2007 Didn't Wankface have a choice between Ade Akinbiyi and Eidur Gudjohnsen? Ouch.(Not sure if that was the case, or whether it was just that Gudjohnsen was going for that price at the time, but I've seen it mentioned before) Well in hindsight, i know which one i'd of gone for
lee7 Posted 27 June 2007 Posted 27 June 2007 Well in hindsight, i know which one i'd of gone for so do i akinbuyi anyday
MONreborn Posted 27 June 2007 Posted 27 June 2007 We nearly signed Christian Dailly, when west ham did instead. Taylor had a choice of Akinbiyi or 4 million pounds for eidur gudjohnson!
Fez of Mahrez Posted 27 June 2007 Posted 27 June 2007 The press reported during O'Neill's time that we had actually signed Andy Booth from Sheffield Wednesday and Chris Armstrong from Tottenham, both for around £3million - at different points during the 1999/00 season. Dunno how close we were to signing either of them in reality though.
morris1234 Posted 28 June 2007 Posted 28 June 2007 Adams wanted Nigel Reo-coker from MK Dons, but West Ham beat us to it. Only went for 250K or so i think. i remember us wanting him and when we were linked with eidur gudjhonsen
surrifox Posted 28 June 2007 Posted 28 June 2007 I believe MON lined up Chris Sutton but it went away
blue blood Posted 28 June 2007 Posted 28 June 2007 Didn't Wankface have a choice between Ade Akinbiyi and Eidur Gudjohnsen? Ouch.(Not sure if that was the case, or whether it was just that Gudjohnsen was going for that price at the time, but I've seen it mentioned before) freddie kanoute went to west ham for circa£5m at the time Wankface bought Ade Missalot Akenbiyi. at the end of the day its ll if's and but's "if my auntie had balls would that make her my uncle?"
Master Fox Posted 28 June 2007 Posted 28 June 2007 freddie kanoute went to west ham for circa£5m at the time Wankface bought Ade Missalot Akenbiyi.at the end of the day its ll if's and but's "if my auntie had balls would that make her my uncle?" If your auntie had balls she would be a hermaphrodite or trans gender.
