Nah think your right there was another player mixed up in the Flo deal, Joe had lined up.

Think your right about Naughton to, Sheff Utd we’re selling him and Kyle Walker as a pair, we couldn’t get the spends together and they went Spurs, we were finishing ahead of Spurs in those days, most years.

Yeah I'm getting mixed up. But both deals were for a pair? Pretty sure the Flo one involved someone else we didn't fancy. The two Kyles came as a pair I think?

Wasn't it because we had to sign his mate too? Or was that someone else at the same time?

Yeah they were trying to avoid a sell on clause or something haha so we bought Flo cheap and paid the real fee for someone else, what a joke

Any idea who it was?

Alan Shearer and Kenright's fake bid ?

Any idea who it was?

No, not even sure if it was public knowledge but as Joey says I do recall Joe Royal bailing unhappy they wouldn't back him, and he was right, we missed a top player.

Think Flo was only 300k.

Any idea who it was?

Claus Eftevaag (apparently) (no me neither)

Nunes from Flamengo,gutted when it fell through,all over the local rags that he wanted to be the first Brazilian centre forward to play over here,it never happened and the rest as they say is history?

Joao Batista Nunes? When was this? Late 70s/early 80s.

I remember us being linked with Martin Dahlin during the 94 World Cup. Trevor Francis (Sheffield Wednesday boss at the time) was on co-coms for a Sweden match and he said his Wednesday player Roland Nilsson had told him it was a done deal. Don't know why it fell through as he stayed at Gladbach. We got Amo instead. Wonder which flash in the pan we'll go for after this World Cup?

 

[Neiler]

I remember being weirdly gutted when the Sean Davis transfer fell through cos he failed a medical. God knows why like, I was only about 14 at the time and I don’t remember him doing anything in his career after that.

Shout.

 

[4737carlin]

Witsel?

Forsell but somehow mister magoo in medics found his knackered knees...

 

[Neiler]

Crag Bellamy.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

I remember a weird story we were gonna sign Fabrizio Ravenelli but he demand we buy him a mansion and provide a butler and we said no?
