Transfer Near Misses !!


Recommended Posts

In all your time being Villa supporters, who were the linked players that we thought we were getting to the club, that you really wanted us to get - but didnt happen........... 

Mine was always Lee Sharpe under Big Ron, linked every other week - never happened

Think we were also heavily linked during their careers with Shearer, Gazza, Lampard and Robbie Keane.

We signed Robbie Keane (on loan).

I know that, but he was heavily linked whilst at Coventry before joining Wolves permanently.

Other way round (wolves to cov).

But yeah it felt (feels) like that was a big, big miss on our part.

Coutinho before Liverpool. 

We ended up with Simon Dawkins instead :)

Also Moussa Sissoko that same window and we ended up with Yacouba Sylla. We were operating on a League One budget in those days

all because Doug wouldn't pay an extra 500K

I’m no fan of the architectural vandal, but the decision was Gregory’s, as confirmed in “The Boss” book.

We might have dodged a bullet with Sissoko. One of the most half arsed players ever
