He sent letters to most clubs requesting a trial, we responded that we had purchased bartman and wasn't looking for midfielders. No that's not right - he made his debut for forest the season before we signed Bart-Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. booth was quite hot property that summer as Liverpool had been watching him but we were pretty much certs to buy him all summer in the end. we weren't in for shevchenko. there were various rumours about Lombardo and di livio in the early part of the season and then eventually we signed carbone.

He looked really weak and slow in English football compared to the more methodical Italian game. Loved him for AC Milan though Well we weren't ever really in for him so it's a bit of a non story but if we had been we wouldnt have been proven right!He may have looked weak and slow ten years later in England but in 1997 he was one of the best strikers in the world.

SirSheridan Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Walter Smith was all set to be our manager. Remember seeing it in the news but he opted for Everton at the very last minute. I also remember hearing that Big Ron had lined up deals for Lombardo, Klinsman and Lauren Robert before Richards sacked him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Lee Trundle saying a striker would not want to sign for us because we're known for not creating chances for strikers. The most annoying thing was he was right, at that time.
