Players we really thought we wanted but missed

[jimbolala]

Where are these players now and what made us think they where ready for us?

 

Konoplankya- remember the last ditch effort

The big Greek lad we had to have but had dodgy knees?

[Leo No.8]

Papadopoulos is playing for Hamburg. Dunno if he’s been any good or not but a quick google says he’s only played about 70 games since 2015 and been on loan a couple of times so I’d guess he hasn’t been all that.

[EC_Red]

[Ethan]

Simao has to be in this list

[psl]

Alves did alright.

[Swipe]

I was actually thinking about this the other night - who was the Portuguese midfielder that we made a bid for a season or two ago? Pretty sure under Klopp anyway.

 

Out of nowhere the usual journos just announced on Twitter we'd made a bid for him, and then the rest of the night was everyone saying how good he was.

Zielinski looks decent

[jimmylibel]

Salah (2014).

 

Goetze (after a move to us these days).

Konoplankya has done well in Spain

[Bogman]

Zidane, but he did buy a house, somewhere, allegedly.

[doug_mac]

What ever happened to that david silva bloke

[Leo No.8]

Willian - really like him.

 

Who was that South American lad playing for Shakhtar who ended up going to China? Was that pre Klopp?

[Rusty Shackleford]

Alex Teixeira had scored 22 in 15 games when we decided to go for him. Seemed destined to happen but ended up in China. He’s done ok but nothing earth shattering.

I think I was excited about a Brazilian midfielder, bit of a unit, was at Sevilla, scored s***load of goals, ended up at Arsenal, did f*** all. Have I imagined this player? This doesn't even feel like it was very long ago. S in his name?

He does - he’d be great for us.
