Probably difficult to answer, but was wondering what platers that we narrowly missed out on do people most regret not happening?

I heard somewhere that we were after Alan shearer and he was up for joining. I can't help but think he could have made the difference in those years when we had a great team but fell short under utds dominance. We were blessed with great strikers, but shearer was absolutely world class. One of the very best ever to play up front. I think as he's from this country we maybe underrated him or have taken him for granted. Usually the other way round, granted, he tops pretty much every list in pl goalscoring.

Ronaldo9, Batistuta, David Villa, Dani Alves, David Silva oh and how can we forget the great CR7. And that’s just off the top of my head.

Carlton Cole is the one for me.

I wished we had bought Gazza and Keane but that's another story but remember Simão Sabrosa?

Villa and Silva situation pops in my mind : (.

Remember Roy Evans saying he wanted Desailly before he went to Chelsea. Wonder would it have made a difference.

Mixed kabob plater back at this Turkish place back in 2010. The guy was offering it for free I was too hammered and had my heart set on a donner wrap. I have regretted it ever since, not a day goes by that I don’t think about it!

David Silva, David Villa, Cristiano Ronaldo, Dani Alves, Giorgio Chiellini. I think with the addition of even one of those players we'd have won the league under Benitez.

I'm still sore that we let xabi alonso go.

Going back further Michael Laudrup for me. What a signing he would have been.

18 Nov 2020 21:51:31
Of the ones I think we could've signed/ were in pole position to sign then Samuel Eto'o, David Silva, David Villa, Dani Alves, Cristiano Ronaldo are the ones that spring to mind, though there is probably more. Rick Parry is legendary so being so useless and for blockading many a world class transfer. Sad really.

Would love ed1 or triple6 to give a breakdown, but I feel like our biggest miss from those 90s teams was having better stewardship in the boardroom.

{Ed0666's Note - I agree with you and Eds 001 Faith. My biggest regret and our biggest failure in the last 30 years or so wasn’t selling to DIC. As previously referenced Moore’s preferred to line his pockets rather than look to get the right custodians for the club. The Arabs would have put us in a different sphere but there’s no point in shoulda coulda woulda now as we aren’t doing to badly now. For me the most heartbreaking transfer we didn’t complete was David Silva who would have singlehandedly won us premierships followed closely by Dani Alves. Both of these players wanted to come to Liverpool and from my understanding deals were in place. Would DIC refused Rafa the funds for these footballers? I’ll leave you to make you’re own mind up about that.
