Selective quoting there Otis, the full quote had this on the end

"fortunately Simon Haworth became available and he was the better option all round".

Didn't he try for Van Nisterooy too?

apparently Brazilian Ronaldo was seen on gosford street in 99 buying a beano mag

I met Zidane in West Orchards in 98 and he said that he was all but ready to sign for us..

Sterling Archer · Jun 25, 2013

Who needs Van Nistelrooy and Pirlo, when you can sign Kyle Lightbourne and Simon Haworth?

Sterling Archer · Jun 25, 2013

Isn't Robert Earnshaw still lost somehwere in Tesco?

BigadamL · Jun 25, 2013

Pirlio is one of the best midfielders in the world at the minute, could hit a 50p from 80yards

dont really see the point of this artical coming out tho, i could of won the lottery............if i had put it on.

He had a flat in Leamington at the time, but had to leave under a bit of a cloud when a dead body was found inside it. Remember the headline in the Evening Telegraph at the time?

"Murder on Zidane's floor".

Both of them are looking for Phil Masinga

withers · Jun 25, 2013

who knows what dizzying heights we could've reached with Pirlo pulling strings alongside Paul Telfer in midfield

Riise and Trezeguet, too.

Pirlo gradually moved further downfield and became the player he is thanks largely to managers seeing the qualities he possessed. We'd have Andy Ducros'd the shit out of him and he'd be at Fleetwood now.

Van Nistelrooy was offered for £3m from what I remember. Just imagine that team!

Pirlo was great. But who the hell is Pirlio? :thinking about:

One day Covmad will actually get something right.

Last week St. Andrews had been muted as a ground apparently.

skybluebeduff · Jun 25, 2013

If CovMad want to just publish shite, then don't insult a legendary midfielder by spelling his name oh so wrong. It's Andrea Pirlo.

We also tried signing Robert Ja......... ah fook it!

ajsccfc · Jun 25, 2013

I always rated Pirlo, so England's hopelessness last year was offset by a nice smugness I felt as he waltzed around showing that he probably could do it against Stoke on a wet midweek game after all. As for that Lionel kid though, jury's still out. And how good can Totti really be if Blackburn never made a bid?

procdoc · Jun 25, 2013

I seem to remember reading that we turned down the chance to sign Van Nistelrooy because Strachan was happy with Whelan and Huckerby at the time

We also came close to signing Zenden when he was young but for some reason he chose Barcelona instead

Covstu · Jun 25, 2013

and henderson and Andy Carroll etc etc blah blah.... I wonder how many 'i could have signed' stories each club has every year!!
