Tell you what, glad we didn't sign Romeo Lavia! He's worse than Darren Anderton! Any posters got players that they are glad we put bids in for but didn't sign?

Lee Bowyer.
07 Nov 2025 14:27:49
That will take some beating, Victor.
07 Nov 2025 14:52:17
Andy Carroll. . . Oh wait.
07 Nov 2025 14:55:42
Nabil Fekir, Alex Teixeira, Clint Dempsey, Yevhen Konoplyanka, Loic Remy, Carlton Cole.

It was a narrow escape but I do feel for him. When he is fit he is a great player but if they haven't already, these injuries are likely to have a long term impact. He is sadly likely to be another one to join the list of players who never reached their true potential for one reason or another.
Timo Werner is another. Don't think it got as far as a bid but it might have if not for Covid.

Naby Keita. Oh, hang on.
07 Nov 2025 15:08:09
Henrikh Mkhitaryan has got to be up there. Carlton Cole as well.

Lavia is a fantastic player when I saw him play at S'hampton vs Chelsea and away at Arsenal. The kid was outstanding and vs us at Anfield last season, we couldn't get near him either, IMO.
The only reason I am glad we did not sign him is cos he is severely injury-prone, something I did not know prior to our interest in him.

Don't know if we ever put in a bid, but we were rumored to be in for Benjamin Mendy when we ended up with Robbo.

Very very good player Lavia, I don't remember him picking up so many injuries playing for Southampton, wonder what happened.
07 Nov 2025 16:41:24
Yep I 2nd mk there, carton Cole.
07 Nov 2025 16:52:48
Imagine if we had Caicedo as well as our 3.
07 Nov 2025 17:37:28
Don’t think we bid but was we not interested in Brandt ahead of Mo?
07 Nov 2025 17:56:19
The german winger (cant remember his name ) who Klopp wanted. we got Salah instead.
