Paul Ince was another nearly signing in 1997.
Pretty comical when you look at what actually was signed in that summer. And also Kendall re-appointed after likes of Bobby Robson turned down the job.
At least in this currently situation the majority are realistic about the calibre the club can get in.

Sunderland had him for part of 96/97 and he didn't do much there. Then went to play in MLS and retired early 30s.
Looking at some of the names mentioned and these were actually decent near misses as some would've made less impact than Dele.
I do think not getting in someone like Flo in 1997 was poor. Basically Royle quit over that and he was a good player for Chelsea for 2-3 years and they made a 10m profit on him when selling to Rangers. Him and Super Kev would've been lethal aswell.
Wasn't Roydo in contact with someone with really good knowledge of that transfer? We were but Kyiv were REALLY hard to deal with apparently.
This is, by FAR, my favorite transfer deadline day story. Everton go and get a work permit for him BEFORE EVEN CONTACTING HIM or the club! Just kind of...assumed he would be on board.
What......oh yeah, Kenwright. Makes sense looking back.
He certainly was, it was someone who was close to Yarmolenko and was giving Roydo updates.

Midfield three of Ever Banega, Moutinho, Manuel Fernandes. Moyes knew a baller

The Flo one was horrible because Joe Royle left when the chairman wouldn’t sanction the move for him.
One of the great 'what-if's there. What if Joe hadn't walked, could he have ploughed through that injury pandemic that struck us in winter 96/97 and carried on taking us upwards?
Alas, with Peter Johnson and then Bill Kenwright in charge the answer is definitely no. Even if he hadn't left in March 97, he would have had to walk pretty soon after.

Was he the guy who bought his girlfriend a horse?
They both hurt me...
But ravanelli...
Worked at the Reebok stadium with another blue. We were sure it was gonna happen. Then. Dragged on. Went on holiday and paid everyday for the newspaper(s) for updates. Was so sure it'd happen.
It didn't. We'd be citeh now if it had. Of that I'm sure
street end

With Flo I think we had the chance to sign him when we signed Myhre and Peter Johnson wouldn’t pay what I think was a fee in the hundreds of thousands, not millions and Ravenelli wanted us to pay the tax on his wages.
