suttonpaul Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Shearer, we were linked with a 20m bid around 2000 we could have really moved on with his goals in that team (not that he would have left Newcastle) and could have ended up as one of the big teams now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adbo9 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I remember us in for the de-boer twins as well along with Danny blind - but we never quite pulled it off !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I often wonder what would have happened had Frank Lampard picked us instead of Chelsea in 2001. he would have joined Chelsea in 2002 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Juninho when he was at Atl. Madrid. I'm pretty sure we were top of the league around December, but, iirc, Ellis wouldn't pay the transfer fee and we ended up falling away. We were and he chose to go to Middlesborough, but i don't think he was as successful as he was first time around there. Good little player though!

PaulC Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 We might hate his as a tv presenter but we were so close to getting Gary Linekar in 88/89 I think. The only reason we didn't get him was the wages would have put the club in financial jeopardy. The great thing about Taylor as manager he was honest and told you as it was.

P3te Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I often wonder what would have happened had Frank Lampard picked us instead of Chelsea in 2001. He would've **** off to a bigger club two years into his contract. Back in those days he could well have made us one of those bigger clubs. It was doable then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyshaw Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 It is quite depressing reading the names we used to go for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa-revolution Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 If Harry Redknapp's judgement is any thing to go by then I would just loved to have seen Darren Bent's Granny given the nod in a claret & blue shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I thought we would get Sturridge in 2009 when he left Man. City but then Chelsea came in for him....I think he would've been really good for us and see proper rotation with him and Gabby. Weren't we close to getting Les Ferdinand in the mid 90s and he went to Newcastle instead and regularly scored 20 + goals for them. We got Collymore instead.

Straggler Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Sod all the pretty boys and goal scorers, I'd have Roy Keane of some such similar absolute bastard in midfield. I want teams to be scared of playing us and Roy faced down the likes of Viera, I'd love to have a bit of that in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
