We can blame a certain well loved ex manager for that one . Pissing around trying to sign Claridge . Our offer was accepted for Mendonca

At the level we were at Damian Francis, a very good player.

* David James!!! Did DV ever reveal what happened to prevent this transfer? * Damien Francis - All but done under TP Era but broke down before signature obtained * Tom Huddlestone - " " " " " " * Darren Bent - Close to signing for us from Sunderland before Villa snuck in at the 11hour & whisked him off to Villa Park * Mario Lemina - Hughes interested & Talks held * Cedric Soares - Believe as above Soares was at the training ground and they thought he had signed. They let him leave and he fucked off to Southampton 🤣🤦♂️

Who was the Brazilian that ended up at Chelsea? I've got it in my head that you're referring to Oscar but I've got no idea why.

Not sure if he'd get anywhere near the XI but we were in for Joey Barton once.
And there was Loic Remy of course. What a waste of a career.

Goran Popov all set to sign on loan then "apparently" work permit refused. Deadline day signs for WBA with a work permit.
Allegedly TP saw him play and then changed his mind.

Andy Johnson was all but signed on loan and set to play on the Saturday. Steve Stone for 50k but Cloughie pulled the plug due to injuries
Outwards -Mark Stein to Newcastle ,300 k but Coates himself pulled the plug on that one. Think was the day before we beat Vale 2-1 and Stein pen.

Yep Think they signed Andy Cole from Bristol City later who we passed on when he was at Arse and scored v us for Fulham on loan Was a Brighton player we were keen on who then was set to join Arse but it fell through. Robert Codner. Thought he was going to be a great player but never happened. Lou also passed on a Czech player who went on to be a top drawer player, 250k. Played for Utd, Poborsky. Was before he was a big name

I guess a major factor in it. Also he was seriously making a name for himself and destined to leave for more . Can remember the crowd had wind he was being sold pre game but not who to. Was talking in the paddock he was off after the game

No idea if was close but we tried to sign Lacazette from Lyon. Was a while before he went to Arsenal.
Did we try to sign a young Harry Maguire?

Who was the Brazilian that ended up at Chelsea? Emerson Thome. Sure he played in a behind closed door friendly for Stoke v Stafford Rangers and Chris Kamara didn't rate him from what he saw that game!

Remember the sentinel reporting on its main back page sports headlines once that Stoke under Mick Mills were in talks and were hopeful of signing then Liverpool midfielder 'John Wark' for a six figure sum! The lure of heading back to Ipswich turned his head and we were left empty handed. Otherwise Mills may have been close to tempting his old pal to the Victoria Ground.
Mills was also closely linked to ex Man Utd defender Kevin Moran from Spanish club Sporting Gijon but we lost out to Blackburn Rovers who signed him.

Who was the Brazilian that ended up at Chelsea? Emerson Thome. That’s the one, and heard we were in for him. Just checked his career and thought it was better than it turned out.
