Xabi Prieto........remember him? (1 Viewer)

[edgy]

Linked with a move to us when Coleman took charge, due to his Sociedad links....

Real Sociedad's £10m-rated Spanish winger, is on Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish's summer wish list

Saw that earlier....

Sort it out RR!!

Linked with or wished? CCFC wouldn't know a winger if it slapped them in the face

 

[SBAndy]

Seen that as well, now imagine if he'd signed...

...he'd have been shit

 

[rob9872]

Doesn't always work even if we were on the same page - I think we were quoted £4m for Andrew Driver. At £500k may have been worth a punt.

 

[SBAndy]

How is Mr Driver getting on? I was one who was all for us signing him, but he seems to have completely gone off the radar.

 

[edgy]

Driver is omni-injured. Probably why we were sniffing around him.

SISU missed a trick with Prieto..... they could've been running off into the sunset with £8m profit right now.

 

[rob9872]

No chance - we would have already cashed in on him 12 months ago for about £1.5m before he really made it elsewhere

 

[Knowledge]

The club were quoted 6.5 million for Prieto. Hence it went no further than a call. It's the fact that Chris Coleman was quoted 1 million for Andy Carroll in 2009 that is hard to take.

 

[Nick]

I heard that we could have had Carroll for cheap as well!

I remember Robert Jarni too, great player for us!

 

[rob9872]

We turned down Keegan too because we said he was too small and would never make it

Robert Jarni - what a player he was for us

Never once saw him miss a tackle or misplace a pass!

Strachan turned down the chance of signing Van Nistelrooy for just north of £2m a year before he went to Utd.

 

[Dinyull]

Was that when his knee was in 12 pieces?

 

[Dinyull]

Not having a go at you edgy because I've heard that story so many times but it has to be bullshit.

In both of his first 2 seasons @ PSV (after signing for around £5m) he scored over 30 goals - in his 3 he was about to sign for Man U then tore apart his knee.

no problem Din.

99% of forum talk is bullshit.

And the other 25% is made up
