Then O’Dreary realised he wasn’t going be be able to spend real money haha! I hated him managing us. 'Honest bunch of lads' got on my nerves week in week out!

Grant McCann and Thomas Sorensen was the extent of our signings that summer I think.

Just remembered we were heavily linked with a young Steve Mandanda waaaay back.

That issue of Shoot magazine with the **** front page April's Fool article about David Platt coming back that even had that arsehole doing a faux photoshoot and everything.

Wes Hoolahan... wasn’t he mentioned a lot when Lambert was here?

Pretty sure it was him who went as far as scoring against us and not celebrating after being heavily linked to us.

Then we were linked with Sneijder, we were also linked with some of the Dutch youth world cup winning team I think? Drenthe.

Yes, in the MON era. I do remember this one too.

Nothing much came of it though despite a summer of interest.

Teddy sheringham was another I think, wouldn't pay the money millwall wanted so we signed cascarino instead 

What a sliding doors moment that was. We’d surely have won the title if we’d signed sheringham instead. Or even if we just hadn’t signed anyone...

Yeah I know - don’t know where I got Grant from.

I think he’s managing Hull atm so you’ve maybe seen his name on the TV. You would have seen his name pop up more recently than Gavin.

Shearer ? 

Yes I remember that, it was when Ruud Gullit was manager, There were two other players involved apparently coming our way with Shearer from Newcastle as well for £21 million.

Pretty sure thats the last time a club was done for an illegal approach.

They're all at it these days, seems commonplace and accepted 

Liverpool got done over Van Dijk
