A couple of full backs: Warren Barton (I think we were quite close to getting him at one point) and John Beresford (he got as far as a medical back in the early 90s)
Neither were really abysmally bad but neither World beaters either
[/quote]
Didn't Beresford fail his medical because he had a heart condition?
Here's one going back a good few years...Sunderland's Marco Gabiadini(sp?) was once lined up to replace the King. Hysterical that was.

It was something like that. Makes you wonder a bit though because he went on to have a reasonably successful career elsewhere. All I remember is that it was back in the day of no internet and no Sky Sports news so the only transfer news you got in the summer was in the newspapers and on teletext.
I remember Gabiadini. Never knew we were linked with him but its not a huge shock sadly.

I know he's done alright since his Scunthorpe days but he's not exactly hitting the big-time is he.

The problem with strikers is that previously we didn't used to get linked with many because we had very good strikers that came through, and since those days (and even during those days) most of the shit strikers we wanted we bought.
Any list of strikers we should be relieved we didn't buy is probably not going to be a lot worse than some of the dross we did buy

Charlie Nicholas and Frank Worthington.
I was thinking Charlie Nicholas too. He must regret it though?
I always remember in some champions league match on sky, they were in the studio after a break and one by one keys spoke to all the guests. The captions came up underneath them all and read as such:
Ruud Gullit
2-time European Cup Winner
Graeme Souness
3-time European Cup Winner
Charlie Nicholas
ex-Celtic

Mark Bosnich???
I left home in Australia at 16 to have trials with Manchester United. It was a toss-up between them and Liverpool. Ironically, in retrospect, I chose United because I liked Alex Ferguson more than Kenny Dalglish, the then Liverpool manager.

You can only qualify for the 'Thanks Fuck... 11' through one of these two things:
1 - Being an utter fucking cunt. e.g. Neill, Heinze, Bowyer, etc.
2 - Being overrated/overpriced fucking shite on the pitch, e.g. Boumsong, Quaresma, Poborsky, etc.
Bosnich doesn't really fit into either of those categories.

I remember us being linked to Davie MacPherson... as a replacement for Alan Hansen.
I think we just went ahead and signed all ther shit keepers we were linked with.

David Weir was seriously linked too at one stage. But he's not the worst really. Just a hun cunt.

Either way, he's not taking the place of Bowyer or Johnson in that midfield.

Nah... he'd be on the bench.. making "V" signs most likely.
I think Houllier wanted to sign him before he went to Blackburn

In terms of keepers the only ones I can think of that we didn't actually buy but were in for are Tim Flowers (remember when Grobbelaar came on to the pitch and put a bunch of flowers in his goal?) abd more recently Maik Taylor.
Flowers doesn't qualify as he probably would have been a decent buy at the time.
Maik Taylor is shit but was only going to be a reserve and the reserve keepers we've had are probably a lot worse.

Stubbs was OK. And we had Phil Badd and Razor at the time.
I don't think there is any topping Coloccini & Boumsong. Two of the worst players I've seen in the Prem. Both Newcastle as well which is a coincidence because Warren Barton was equally inept (altho I don't know if we were ever linked with him). Their all time worst team is probably full of players from the last few years. And Mirandinha (remember him?).
