Only thinking recently here, but I like to keep an eye on some of the players we seem to have had strong links with and see how they’re doing.

Marko Stamenic seems to just be having a bang average season for Swansea.

Adriano Bertaccini has 3 goals in 18 games for Anderlecht.

Denis Dragus, after having a strong season in Turkey in 23/24 is on his 3rd club since then, looking pretty bang average.

Any others people would like to throw into the mix?

Turned out to be a decent signing for Boro.

I’m sure I remember a Cov Telegraph back page excitedly announcing that we were making a triple signing of Crook, Tim Flowers and Franz Carr.
The rest, as they say, is history…

Agreed. He was what we needed at the time. But we made up for it by signing Grimes

Nearly created a similar thread. Quite a few we have been linked with in recent years have been underwhelming for one reason or another. Rollheiser got a bad injury but then doesn't seem to have done much and got moved on by Benfica. Tahirovic has ticked along nicely at Brondby. One that does appear to be a real shame we didn't get done was Charlie Cresswell from Leeds. Seems to have done really well in France and was being linked with moves for £20m+.
