the cry was no 3,033 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I always liked our English signings because they settled quickly and regularly "got it" (Butcher, Woods, Stevens, Steven, Roberts, Spackman, Walters, Wilkins, Hately, Gazza, Wallace.......) I think Fowler would have ran amok up here and Waddle was world class (apparently he would have loved to have joined us) Pearce would have been awesome as would Tony Dorigo who was a class act we were heavily linked with Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We chased him all summer and it looked a goer for much of it. The thought of him and Laudrup paired together upfront was pretty exciting. End of the day, we missed out and ended up with Salenko as a consolation prize. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh, like many others, his reputation probably exceeded his ability. From memory of the 94 WC, he was very quick and needed space to run into ahead of him. Might have done us a turn in Europe but don’t think he would have been suited to Scottish football and teams parking the bus against us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rlm 408 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Am sure we were mentioned when Kevin Phillips moved from Sunderland to Southampton in the early 2000s. I know its the EPL/ wages etc but southampton or Glasgow Rangers..playin in europe/ silverwear etc. Wud have done well here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tannerall 25,935 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 There was a time when we were being linked with Gary McAllister and Gary Speed, but nothing materialised. Would have been happy with that, no chance we could have got Cantona, and didn't like Gordon Strachan that much , but what a midfield 4 they were. And we beat them. We did get Rod Wallace from that Leeds team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always thought Berra would have been a player in the Championship for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDB14 2,760 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 In recent times John McGinn springs to mind. I know it's unpopular as he is a tarrier but his quality just stood out anytime I seen him play. Further back I was always desperate for us to get Michael Laudrup to come and join Brian. At the time I just thought he would be good but looking back and knowing more about him these days, he would have ran absolute riot in Scotland.

With Michael Laudrup feeding him, Durie would probably have even scored against the tims! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
