BlueSuedeSambas 53,854 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Raul Tamudo, he was coming, then he wasn't coming. Saga dragged on for ages. I think he'd have banged them in for us. I think he owuld have flopped, simply because his heart wasn't in it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

super hans 55 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Did Advocaat not show interest in the-then 18 year old Van Persie, but never followed up on it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazzareyes 220 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Wow, i've never seen that about Eto'o before. If only we had taken him instead of this Ludwig Norbert fellow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz52 11,837 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 But the Scottish club's manager, Alex McLeish, insists that the Cameroon international is not their top signing priority. BUT HENNING FUCKING BERG WAS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

clashcitystalker 27 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Kallstrom and Elmander in the PLG days. Were we not linked with Bergkamp when Advocaat arrived? That would have been sensational. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerson 2 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I think we missed a trick with Eoin Jess from Aberdeen. Im sure we released him as a kid, but later on we could have given him the platform to progress into the player he could have been. Ill always remember Chick Young saying "Jess will be a Rangers player within 24 Hrs" in one of his exclusives. Stan Collymore as well. At his peak probably the best all round striker behind Shearer at the time in Britain and would have raped the SPL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
