"almost" signings

Anthropologically.

Quite the anthropologist was our Pete. Not much of a whizz in the transfer market though. Shame really.

You would have thought they might have spotted that.

Terrible misunderstanding.

Lovell? the scottish striker wanted by Levein...

Bobby Zamora from Brighton

lol

On the last home game of the 02/03 season we put up a banner next to the away fans (who were Brighton at) saying:

We're Up- Join us Bobby.

It's fair to say they didn't like it... :laugh:

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.

I certainly remember us pretty much agreeing a deal for Booth, although I think they pulled the plug at the eleventh hour because they had no cover up front.

Jani Sturm as well a couple of seasons back. Was announced I think, then failed the medical or something. Actually, was it work permit?

Posted
We were in the race to sign Jasper Blomqvist too before Manure captured his signature

Was that one of those races that no one wants to win, but everyone shows a bit of willing?

Like the race to the bar when you're in a big group?

No, it was the medical.

Yeah, and you kinda just shuffle to the back hoping that this nightmare evening will end before you have to buy 7 pints, a becks and a shandy for the designated driver.... oh and one for yourself....

'Oh, is it my turn?? Ok welcome to Leicester Jasper......'

Who was that striker chap we tried to sign from north of the border?

Lovell was it?

It got so far in that the OS decided to tell us we had made the move... and then he decided to stay put. Whoops. lol

Didn't we almost sign Roy Carroll from Wigan before United got him

Kelly wanted to sign Stead on loan before he went to Sheffield United last season. He was told that the club didn't have the funds to do a deal though so I've been told.
