Players who you wished we had signed but we have now outgrown!

[Shirty Blade]

Just watching the Preston vs Stoke game. Always wanted us to sign Daniel Johnson. Just scored a cracking goal but now I don't think he would be good enough get into our midfield. Thoughts?

 

[SteveBlade]

The Turkish Messi.

 

[Shirty Blade]

Yeh I thought of him too.

 

[Akinbiyi]

Jack Butland

He is having a fucking nightmare of a season, needs a move to save his career nevermind his England career

 

[Ricky]

I'd say Dan Burn but nobody outgrows Dan Burn.

 

[Rufus Smalls]

I would have liked Charlie Austin whilst we were in the Championship but when he was mentioned on here as maybe a decent target pre season I thought please no he’s past his sell by date.

Diego Mardonna in 1979..........he would have been good then but now he wouldn’t get in the team.

 

[Lane Ender]

Got to be Sam Morsy

Was also thinking of Ryan Woods- but not on this showing!

 

[Bruce Wayne]

He'd make the bench.

 

[8lade]

Can't remember if we were 'in' for Gascoigne before he signed for Burnley then we played Burnley. Gascoigne looked classy but past it (if that makes sense) and we battered them 3-0.

I'd still take Coady like a shot

Me too. I think he’d be absolutely unreal in the right CB slot in our system.

Has a lot of similarities with Bash being an athletic midfielder converted to CB. Just probably better technically and a bit younger.

 

[BettingBlade]

Always thought that Gallagher at Preston was a real player. He looked way too good to be in League One when we had him on loan all those years ago. So I guess we did have him technically but would have like him on a permanent.

Surprised no one took a chance on him at a higher level tbh.

 

[Silent Blade]

Diego Mardonna in 1979..........he would have been good then but now he wouldn’t get in the team.

Actually it was in July 1978 when we almost signed him.

 

[You Fill Up My Senses]

Actually it was in July 1978 when we almost signed him.

Right about the 78 bit, but at that time if he had come to the lane we would have probably made a bad player out of him. Worst spell in our history.

 

[TaipeiBlade]

I remember as a kid us been linked with Nial Quinn a couple of times. He'd have been a cracking signing.

 

[I should coco]

Worst spell in our history.

150 page thread - guaranteed!

 

[JackSUFC]

We definitely haven't 'outgrown' Coady. He's Wolves' captain and probably worth stupid money in this transfer climate.

 

[Harry's Game]

Olly Watkins looked well off the pace for Business Model FC at Leeds last night.

 

[Le Cynique]

I always wanted us to sign Andy Reid. Not sure why, I just thought he'd be good.

Then we did, and he was so-so and it was too late in his career for him to make an impact.

I always remember almost expecting Bassett to sign John Fashanu one summer.

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

Another shout for Coady.

He might be Wolves' captain but I believe they'd get rid at some point when they feel they've outgrown him in their european aspirations.

Unfortunately I think there'd be 4/5 clubs above us in the market to get him.

He made a huge impact. If he’d stayed I don’t think we’d have gone down. He was the playmaker we lacked.

Jason Koumas

Jason Koumas

Could still do a job for us

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

I always hoped we'd sign Ian Banks from Barnsley. But this is really a reverse of the OP, we were always too crap to have a hope of getting him.

Oh.......okay
