…but continue to play for us?
I can’t remember one. Wonder how our fans would react in that situation.

Not sure if he had signed a pre-contract or not but it was known he was going.Laudrup?
Found out it was Chelsea when he did their celebration after scoring into Brazil at France 98 hahaNot sure if he had signed a pre-contract or not but it was known he was going.
He did sign a pre-contract. I am pretty sure it was announced immediately after a game at Ibrox too.Not sure if he had signed a pre-contract or not but it was known he was going.
Right. I knew it had pretty much all been agreed but wasn’t sure if a contract had actually been signed.He did sign a pre-contract. I am pretty sure it was announced immediately after a game at Ibrox too.
Great shout - that was the first proper season of Bosman’s when we signed Vidmar and ThernI'm sure Richard Gough had agreed to join Kansas City Wizards during the 9IAR season.
I was going to the see the vaccines when it was announced.David Bates
I bought into the hype he performed really well for us under Murty and thought Gerrard could have made use of him ultimately we brought in much better thoughI was going to the see the vaccines when it was announced.
Was genuinely gutted
You could have just not went...I was going to the see the vaccines when it was announced.

Did we not reject £5m in the summer as well?But Brian Laudrup was first to come to mind for me. I can't remember exactly when it was announced but it seemed like it was known it was Chelsea for ages.
If I remember correctly he didn't have such a good final season with usYou could have just not went...
Only kidding, I think we were all conditioned to think any semblance of talent meant he had a future and Bates had moments. Then getting a move to Hamburg suggested it was right but it might have said more of the state of HSV than anything else.

Lovenkrands but was very late on when it was confirmed.…but continue to play for us?

We sold him for £8.5m in the summer of 01, mate.Didn't Gio sign a pre-contract with Arsenal?
Quality Band, seen them in Newcastle supporting the Arctic Monkeys.I was going to the see the vaccines when it was announced.

Aye, so we did. Am I right in remembering that this had been common knowledge for a good while before Gio left, that he was leaving for Arsenal?We sold him for £8.5m in the summer of 01, mate.
Don’t have a clue, I was a mere nipper!Aye, so we did. Am I right in remembering that this had been common knowledge for a good while before Gio left, that he was leaving for Arsenal?

Arteta played like he had for the final months.
That homesick he was back in Britain 6 months later at EvertonHappens when you’re homesick I guess.
My memory may be failing but I think he was willing to sign a new deal but after Le Guen was announced he was asked about him and said something along lines of he wasn't bothered if he stayed or not.Think Lovenkrands signed with Schalke while in the final part of his contract with us.
Ajax and £7m rings a bell to be honest. I'm sure he was persuaded to give one more year to get 10. Obviously didn't work out but as mentioned had we gone into selling top names in summer of 97 a lot of supporters would have questioned how much we wanted it. But he didn't look right most of season and only really discovered form at World Cup although I may be harsh to him.Did we not reject £5m in the summer as well?
To be fair, if Murray had sold him as we were going for 10 then he would have been dragged out of Ibrox by the fans
£8.5m 21 years agoWe sold him for £8.5m in the summer of 01, mate.
Lovenkrands no?…but continue to play for us?

In hindsight, I wish he'd sold Laudrup.Did we not reject £5m in the summer as well?

Perfectly decent centre back. Don’t know why people talk as though he’s a bomb scare.I bought into the hype he performed really well for us under Murty and thought Gerrard could have made use of him ultimately we brought in much better though
Sold him for a fee did we notDanny Wilson when he signed for Colorado?
In 1996 barca were rumoured to be after him.Did we not reject £5m in the summer as well?
To be fair, if Murray had sold him as we were going for 10 then he would have been dragged out of Ibrox by the fans
He wasn't that bad in the final season and we'd have been a hell of a lot worse without him in the team.In hindsight, I wish he'd sold Laudrup.

Ajax wanted him and he wanted to go but we told him he was staying. No idea how much they were offering though.Did we not reject £5m in the summer as well?

I still view this as one of the main reasons we didn't get 10IAR.Davie Robertson to Leeds 9iar season?
Surprising after him saying everything was wonderful and being here is heavenly.Danny Wilson when he signed for Colorado?
