radcliffe white Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Obviously he signed permanent but David Lee never thought we could pull that off Aye Dawson & newsome also throw Matt Clarke in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think later in life Ritchie had alluded to it being a regret he wasn’t able to stay at the wanderers for longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best modern era full back we had & would have been another step-change if we'd kept him. Unfortunately his model wife wasn't for being here iirc. Definitely Craig Dawson. What a career he's had. The Juke. Lower level but what we so badly needed at the time. Newsome, similar. Dibble, what a difference he made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan Johnston, you mean? Sacked by Queen of the South at the weekend, no less. Ritchie was ace but we loaned him from Hearts and he’d already signed a pre-contract with Rangers. I don’t think we ever had a sniff of signing Sturridge permanently, but Dawson was very much one who got away. Jon Newsome was awesome, though I’m not sure he’d have been good enough to come up with us to the Premier League. Similarly Colin Hendry was unreal when he came in.

Members Rudy Posted February 14, 2022 Members Share Posted February 14, 2022 Wilshere Not that we ever had a chance. Coyle would have got him on £100k a week. Sturridge, just knew if he was on the pitch he would score. Dawson. Wish we would have moved heaven and earth to get him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Feelgood Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 I was so disappointed at losing Liam Bridcutt at the time. All about context I suppose but he was a symbol of what Hill might have achieved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DazBob Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 The obvious two that stand out, but, in reality, we were never to going sign are Wilshere (it's amazing how many people can't spell his name correctly) and Sturridge. More realistic two we could've/should've are Dawson and Jutkiewicz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meanderson93 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 I wouldn't be so sure we were no hopers for Sturridge at the time, an £8-£9million bid may well have got him. I'd like to think with the Prem money it could have been doable with the inevitable returns he would offer. I'll echo the Dawson shouts as well, could just tell he was some player and evidenced by a very very good career. A different end of the spectrum, I liked James Henry a lot, currently doing very well in that Oxford team and would be a nice addition to the way we play now.

Naytch Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 The Juke and Craig Dawson were two we should have realistically been able to sign but couldn't. Jon Newsome, Paul Richie and Matt Clarke have already been mentioned and did a great job for us, I'd have liked to have seen them stay longer. Daniel Sturridge and Jack Wilshere were never coming to us permanently, unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
