OWL1969 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 (edited) Other than the foreign brigade, mols, lombardo, cantona, Rivaldo etc, I seem to remember reading we had been linked with Rush while at Chester, pre Liverpool. Manager wise Houlier and Scholeri spring to mind. Edited October 11, 2016 by OWL1969 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Hernan Crespo.... apparently had him in on trial but we decided to go & sign Guy Whittingham!!! Apparently Trevor Sinclair from QPR was a done-deal but he then moved to West Ham after some delays from our end! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeeYouNextWednesday Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Henrik Larsson. I think we might have been close to getting him before Celtic changed managers around 1997. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torryowl Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 the one with the biggest ructions if it had come off was jimmy hagan ......evidently we had agreed a fee with the blunts but the halfwit turned us down to stay at the lane . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazzamk2 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I think a team selection of "players who nearly signed for us but said no" is in order... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

full fathom five Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Didn't we try for Peter Schmeichel before he went to Man Utd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue and white Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 If my memory is right we almost had Karel Paborsky in the bag after euro 96 then Sir Alex stepped in and that was the end of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
