Slightly off topic but what fucking jigsaw included Bert Konterman?
Daniel Amocachi?Big black striker for Bruges, we played against him in the 92 CL games. Think he went to Everton
That's him.Daniel Amocachi?
Went to West Ham and lasted about a fortnight
Thank Christ that one didn’t materialise.
Rebrov and Shevchenko were under Smith I remember being quite excited about them
Was it Tamudo who was pictured crying like a wee lassie because it looked like he was going to leave his club ( espanyol?) to come to us.Tamudo would have been sensational but was loyal to the club he would end up captaining and finishing his career with.
Reminded me of Mols a wee bit

He actually had a good Euro's, I remember McNee reckoning that we had the better deal signing Konterman than the poet's signing Valgaeren.
Who was the big handsome guy we were linked with who played for AC and Newcastle, was that more a Smith link? Something or other Anderson he was fucken shit for Newcastle.

Ewan Chester might have been the scout who looked at a young Zlatan in Sweden and said he was too gangly for Scottish football, he went to Ajax and the rest is history.
Never knew that! He must have went to Tottenham for over £10m and was a complete flop without Shevchenko by his side. Bullet dodged perhaps?Defo under Advocaat. Summer 2000. Murray said he had the contract 'in his desk waiting to sign'
"We had completed a deal earlier with Sergei Rebrov but right at the last minute Dick Advocaat decided it was not a route he wished to go down but that to me is not a problem because Dick is in charge of all football matters."
Was thinking when Advocaat around 2000, Was in Search of a Top Striker For around 10-15 Million. I remember some of the names.
Benni Mccarthy
Jardel
Shabani Nonda
Guy From Spain i believe with a Name Like Klovanec or something tall target man
Raul Tamudo
Van Nistelrooy
Luc Nilis
Ronaldo
Jan Koller
Can Anyone Think of any other links around this period? If he could have got a top top striker in at that time what a team we could have had.
Andreas Andersson maybe? Floppy blonde hair fella?Who was the big handsome guy we were linked with who played for AC and Newcastle, was that more a Smith link? Something or other Anderson he was fucken shit for Newcastle.

Or maybe Mikkel Beck, who we were linked with a lot under Smith i'm sure. Ended up at Middlesbrough.
Both were shit tbf.
was it now Walter Smith that was trying to sign Jardel round about 96/97
cheersWe went back in for him before he chose Galatasaray in 2000.

I'm not sure mate,but he was certainly loyal to his club that's for sure-brilliant player with a genuine love for his club and trade.Was it Tamudo who was pictured crying like a wee lassie because it looked like he was going to leave his club ( espanyol?) to come to us.
I dare say we were probably linked with him at some point in the mid 90s as well!I thought you were talking about Kennet Andersson at first.
Wee bit of trivia - Who was this?
On 14 July 2007, XXXX played for Scottish Premier League club St Mirren, as a trialist in a 3–0 win over first division side Stirling Albion.
Its so annoying the guys we could have had, and we ended up with Flo who was a good striker but compared to some of the names like Nistelrooy etc.
Probably in debt to the bank,even then. The alarm bells should've rang when we signed Flo for 12 million,hindsight is a bustard.Defo under Advocaat. Summer 2000. Murray said he had the contract 'in his desk waiting to sign'

Mahrez
Jardel
Wasn't he the one who didn't bother turning up for a game cause he was going shopping with his missus and then Redknapp got rid.
Was a brilliantly talented player but a lunatic by all accounts.
We were also in 99 I think it was linked with Ronaldo, the real one.
Mpenza would have been good in Scotland, Rebrov was a bullet dodged looking back, plenty were in the frame and I think the problem is Advocaat didn't really know what type of striker he wanted, he went from fast explosive to Big and burly with little mobility to Poacher.
I think if we signed a Van Nistelroy or a Ronaldo we would have done something incredible in European competitions for sure!Shame none of those players ended up signing as we would have demolished teams easy.
He was terrible for Sheffield Wednesday.Guy was a monster, went on to play for Juve. Would have ran riot in Scotland
I named my fish after himShabani Nonda was an absolute beast of a goalscorer too.

The one who got away.Robbie Fowler was a name that seemed to always get mentioned. Was he ever seriously linked?
Went to West Ham and lasted about a fortnight

It was under Smith.Kennet Andersson
Although I think that may have been under Walter.
