KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Wow... what might have been...

I remember that we had agreed in principle a deal that would have cost up to €8 million (there was also another team involved but cant remember who), then United came in at the 11th hour with a bid of €18 million and the other teams where asked to match the united bid.

I thought this was common knowledge as he always gets taunts about saying he followed Liverpool as a kid. (the usual statement when about to sign for a club)

I remember that as well. There were others that we missed out on too like Silva, Villa, Dani Alves etc,

IIRC, didn't we miss out on Gareth Bale as well?

yes old news in liverpool thompson went to watch him loads of times and then said no better than what liverpool had .

biggest loss still Michael Laudrup in 84, we wanted a 3yr deal and he only wanted a two year deal - or vice versa. Even had a medical.

amazing player

yes true and dalglish wanted gazza but told him to have one more season at newcastle instead of signing him straight away , he went to spurs rest is history .
