Pete_foxes Posted 27 June 2007 Share 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.

Cheese Me Posted 27 June 2007 Share 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graz Posted 27 June 2007 Share Posted 27 June 2007 Didn't Wankface have a choice between Ade Akinbiyi and Eidur Gudjohnsen? Ouch.

MONreborn Posted 27 June 2007 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fez of Mahrez Posted 27 June 2007 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
