Mills tried to sign Ruel Fox after a League Cup game. We won 2-1 but he was impressive I remember that game. Tormented us down our left. Yep he was excellent for Norwich Think Bruce scored for them, Brian Talbot a lovely goal for us.

Bruce did score and then Norwich battered us but couldn't get the equaliser. With Daly and Talbot as our midfield, combined aged of 96, I'm guessing we had tired legs for the end bit.

Marcos Alonso, who ended up at Bolton and then Chelsea. I think Pulis may have referred to that one since then?

werent we interested in Andy Carroll and Jermain Defoe at some point Was talkof£6m for Carroll which caused a few meltdowns. Didn't he score his first goal V us in a 1-1 draw Let's not forget player manager Peter Beardsley. Yes then no. Often wonder how that would have turned out

Go back 50 years and you've got the best Best of them all. Read Waddington biography a while back and couldn't believe my eyes when I read about that. Think Man Utd were getting weary of his off the pitch antics by then...

Not strange at all as he was signed and we loaned him out to Holland, and hoped he would be given a work permit at a later stage.

Didn't we play Southampton just after and Ritchie did the stooping header, as I suppose Osgood would have replaced him.

Who's this Best and Xi we nearly signed?
Is one from Northern Ireland and the other Chinese?
We should be told!

50 years ago, we were favourites to sign Francis Lee.
Instead he went to Derby and his goals won them the League.

1 Carson 2. ? 3. Robertson 4. ? 5. Maguire 6. ? 7. ? 8. Platt 9. Ba 10. Remy 11. Martinez Carson was absolutely useless and his decision to choose wba almost certainly saved us from an inevitable relegation

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. He actually saw him train 😂

I know that there was a time when ‘West Ham must sell’ which latest I think about 3 years but I wonder just how close we were to signing Carlton Cole……

Robert Prytz, glad you mentioned him, Swedish midfielder at National level. I had to read about him a bit now in this nightly hour, I wondered what happened to him. He was pro at Glasgow Rangers, Atalanta, Verona, Young Boys (two sessions) and Kilmarnock among others. Guess what he's been doing after the career? He's been a mover for years and now he's going places and clean beer taps in the southern parts of Sweden. My goodness! Couldn't he have saved enough money so he didn't have to work with that? Really? 😵💫
