I seem to remember us being linked with Jorg Albertz and maybe Neil McCann from Rangers? Also Gary Naysmith who ended up at Everton and im sure some random norwegian guy called Lund at some point. God knows why i remember this.
Rob earnshaw or Lee trundle i remember but yeah could be me playing some manager game
That wasn't a rumour.See also, Robert Jarni.
We were in for Zenden when he was still playing in Holland if I remember correctly
That's right. We were also close to signing Chris Coleman to.Another one I think we were close to signing was Lee Bowyer. It was just before we signed McAllister, but then Leeds came in and pipped us.
Pretty sure we actually did bid for him... but ended up with Paul Telfer instead.We were briefly linked to Gazza by the CET when he was in Italy
I heard that when he was at Rangers and around the time of the David Busst testimonial that he played in, Walter Smith wanted a player swap with Gascoigne for McAllister. If true I would have snapped his hand off.We were briefly linked to Gazza by the CET when he was in Italy
Typical SISUI heard an interview with Bull recently. He said he was offered less in wages to play in the Premier League with Cov than he was to stay at Wolves in Div 1 (as it was then called).
It turned out to be little more than.That wasn't a rumour.
That one dragged on for an entire summer!
Not a rumour, but back in the mists of time we turned down future European footballer of the year Kevin Keegan for being too small and Chris Waddle when they had trials. Someone was seriously shit back in the day.
No he was offered as a striker but Strachan said we were top heavy up front and didn't need another forwardVan Nistelrooy - didn’t think he was good enough (although I think he was a midfielder at the time)
Andy Carroll and Jordan Henderson on permanent moves. It was talked about at the time, few years later Ray Ranson came out and said both were close-ish but SISU pulled the plug.
Yeah, I could maybe buy Carroll as being genuine, but Henderson was always coming just for the experience, he was always slated for the first team at Sunderland.That was a rumour in Uncle Rays tiny mind.
