Audacious bids & near misses

Didn't Zidane nearly go to Blackburn but they turned him down in the end?

Kenny wanted Zizou AND Dugarry, but chairm said "Why do you want Zidane when we have Tim Sherwood?" 

Hate to admit this but is only gazza had gone to United rather than Spurs.
I  feel that fergie would have been able to have had more control over him than venables did and could have really elevated his career and taken care of him.
Damn shame to English national team football and for Paul personally how his career panned out.

United were never in the F***ing race for Gazza, it was us or Spurs. So change that drunken tw*t for King Kenny and it would be far more appropriate!! The mancs were too busy signing sh*te like Danny Wallace and Ralph Milne.

The fat Geordie pr**k chose Spurs.

Cristiano Ronaldo could well have been ours if we were prepared to pay the wages he asked for as a nipper. Much the same with Dele Ali it seems.

A good near miss is when Woy tried to bring in Carlton Cole.
