Russell slade nearly signed him and now he’s worth 20 million
I was looking at the BBC gossip column this morning at a snippet said
Wolfsburg's Dutch striker Wout Weghorst has revealed he has ambitions to play in England with the 27-year-old saying Liverpool are a club he finds "very special".
That name really rang a bell and then dug out this article ;

Seems there was interest, possibly a deal in place when he was playing at Hercules Almelo. The player himself saying a deal was in place and Russel slade likes him. How much of that was agent talk I don’t know as he soon moved before onto AZ Alkmaar for 1.5mill then onto Wolfsburg for nearly 10 mill.
According to transfermkt he’s worth double that now after consistent returns in the Bundesliga

Our russ would've knocked any ability out of him, or the curse of the club when it comes to strikers. He'd probably be plying his trade in the lower echelons of the german pyramid system by now.

Always thought he had a good eye , he spotted Pilks as a forward

I think that Slade put Pilks up top as he was limited with options, although he did a decent job.

I "nearly" shagged Heather Graham once.

He'd have been destined for 8 goals a season in the Belgian second tier

In that I met her a party once, had a couple of drinks with her, thought I might be in, but she left on her own. Which is probably a lot closer than Russell Slade came to signing Wout Weghorst.
