      Never rated him they much, me. I remember a young Stevie clattering him early in a game against Leeds once and Batty went in his shell and got owned after it.

      F***ing hell, I loved Stevie. Had it all.

      Batty when he was first at leeds then blackburn and newcastle i thought was a very good player and we missed that bite around that time as the ‘spice boys’ were considered a little bit soft. Think he might have been a good player for us.

      Think he was past his best during his second spell at leeds which you must be referring to, even though he’s no comparison to stevie anyway.

      I know mate. Even though we had some great times during stevies era, I always feel a bit sorry for him that he’s not part of this squad. Born ten years too early. Could you imagine a prime stevie in this current team? Don’t think we’d ever lose a game.

      Simao and Dani Alves are two which ring a bell. Remember we were heavily linked with both during Benitez' first two or three years.

      Alexis Sanchez is a big sliding doors one for me too. If we managed to sign him in 2014 after Suarez left I think we'd have done fairly well. Wasn't quite as good as Suarez but he'd have been a decent replacement all things considered

      Yes it was Arda Turan Haha. Always kept saying he was a big Liverpool supporter and it never happened and he became part of the Barca wasteland.

      Alan Shearer went to Blackburn for £3.5m in 1992 from Southampton, that's the transfer that would have made us Champions and Souness the manager remembered for the right reasons.
      Imagine him and Fowler 😯..
      Schmeichel in 1991,  Viera in 1996, Henry in 2000, and Ronaldo or Drogba in 2004 (probably Drogba has he stuck around for years at Chelsea).
      Shearer is the one we missed I reckon.

      Not one we were ever linked to as far as I know, but Brazilian Ronaldo, one of my favourite ever players.

      Brian Laudrup was a player I always admired, Clarence Seedorf another, and one player who caught my eye and would have been superb for us Rui Costa, all world class midfielders, but a player I would have moved heaven & earth for was Kaka, what a f***in player, had everything, pace, balance, superb football brain, scored millions of goals, could pass short or long, he had the f***in lot this fella, not many better than him in his pomp !

      Missed Laudrup over adding a year to the contract offer he wanted. Crazy. Imagine him in there with Kenny and Rushie and Molby teeing them up
