TravelingWilBEARy 4,319 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 That means we would have had Shearer for the 92/93 Champions League run. I don't want to think about what might have been if we had signed him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmiston Drive 3,846 Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 The £6 million deal for Bergkamp was very close to being done.Collapsed because of the money, £1m signing on fee and 20k a week, he wanted 25 or 30k, can't remember which one.Walter said they offered 700k signing on fee with the basic he asked for, his people said no, Walter said had never dealt with anything like it, he had a few accountants and solicitors turn up for signing talks.

I don't want to think about what might have been if we had signed him.I suppose during this time he would have been a welcomed headache in terms of team selection, Surely they're Would be no room to play shearer/coisty/hateley in same team ?I'd have him in the team right now purely on this tackle alone Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbubba 56 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 We apparently tried again when he was at Blackburn but a spokesman denied it.http://www.thefreeli...low.-a061315910Blackburn chairman Jack Walker last night told Rangers: No amount of dosh can buy Alan Shearer. Walker spoke out as reports claimed that Rangers were on the brink of launching a pounds 10million bid for the England strike star. Walker insists he has not heard from the Ibrox giants - and won't deal with them if he does. He said: "For starters I don't know if this reported interest from Rangers is true. "But it really doesn't matter because the man is simply not for sale. That is the end of the matter. No amount of money will make me change my mind. I don't need to know if Rangers want him or not, because Shearer will be going nowhere." Gers boss Walter Smith is desperate to land a big-name striker this summer after failing to tempt Gianluca Vialli to Ibrox. Shearer would certainly fit the bill. But chairman David Murray will clearly have to offer the earth to make Walker change his mind. But a Rangers' spokesman said last night: "I don't know who is making up these stories. There is no truth to it whatsoever, we haven't spoken to either the club or the player." Shearer said: "In five weeks' time I will be back in training - hopefully with a Euro 96 medal to show to Colin Hendry." Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorSwift 53 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Jardel always hurts .My dad was telling me about him recently. You have to wonder though how much was paper talk rather than missed opportunities. Also what i think, just so i don't cry about it is that it might not have worked for them at all here and they may not have been the players they are now/ or ended up being.

It was against Raith Rovers at Ibrox in 96 if I remember correctly. He was sitting in the directors box.I thought it was all done and dusted that day, he clearly wanted to sign for us.

TaylorSwift 53 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I did mean in general with these stories, rather than him specifically. Sad picture, didn't he go on to bang them in at a phenomenal goals to games ratio? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
