Players we tried to sign and we dodged a bullet

[Crown_Defender]

Harston, but only because he is a detestable prick. Would have been good in a football sense.

 

[_WATP_]

John Hartson. According to that fat trumpet anyway.

Hartson was left devastated last night after what he believed to be a dream move to Rangers fell through on medical grounds.

[Sonny]

Then at Real Madrid!

...for about 15 mins.

Then Kilmarnock.

 

[LA Steve]

Joey Barton

 

[gourock_loyal]

Hartley.

Was finished when he went to the Dhims.

 

[Suttonger]

John Hartson. According to that fat trumpet anyway.

The big fanny would have done well if we had signed him.

 

[Craig]

Naismith

 

[Degausser]

Verhoek and Juhász. Basically never heard of either again after we were linked with them. Don't think they were bad players - unlike most names mentioned here who are - but their careers definitely never took off.

 

[Oduwa]

Most of the players mentioned would have done a great job for us.

Allan would have been more than good enough at Championship level.
Hartson and Brown would have excelled for us.

To say otherwise is just staunch point scoring.

 

[Coplandbear]

David Goodwillie the hype over him was ridiculous he left Dundee Utd and did nothing elsewhere. Overrated for me.

 

[portobear]

Mikkel Beck, first touch of a lamp post, unbelievable that Brian Laudrup said he was a fantastic player when we were linked with him.

 

[Growler]

That Summer Ally wanted to spend about £10m on Goodwillie, Verhoek and Juhasz.

I think all of them were bordering semi-professional within 2 years.

Loovens was the first one who came to mind. Lescott is good recent example as well.
