Linked XI

[Rjk]

What would be the best XI of players we have been genuinely linked with with a view to signing, but never actually signed?

[Heisenberg]

Just going by the opinion of the Jacks that used to post on here regularly (Bryndon et al):

Jefferson Montero

Jefferson Montero Jefferson Montero Jefferson Montero Jefferson Montero

Jefferson Montero Jefferson Montero Jefferson Montero Jefferson Montero

Jefferson Montero

Befetimbi Gomis

[thehumblegringo]

Zouma
Wanyama
Oscar Cardozo

[Rjk]

Wanyama would have to be in there, also I think I recall Etienne capoue being a target.

Am I imagining that we were after Vergil van dyke though?

[thehumblegringo]

No you're not mate. Malky went to watch him and he got sent off for Groningen after 20 minutes!

[Geraint!]

Benjamin Mendy

Are you possibly confusing him with Izaguirre (who we were linked with) who was also at Celtic at the time...?

Toby Alderweireld

Benjamin Mendy

I'd forgotten about him, seems as though Malky could scout a player!

No you're not.

Ashley Williams. Matt Clucas, Jamie Vardy, we maybe could have signed Gary O'Neil and definitely got Danny Drinkwater as well if we were in one of our splash the cash phases.

[lardy]

There's that Danish kid at Atlanta too. We didn't sign him, right, didn't happen.

[Steve R]

John Oster has to be in there somewhere.

[Penarth Blues]

Wasn't Matic linked as well? Capoue certainly was.

[thehumblegringo]

Besic of Everton

[Geraint!]

Salomon Kalou and how can we forget Dirk Kuyt

[Llanedeyrnblue]

Of course you could also have a Linked XI from the other side which would include our mate of the school run fame Dirk Kuyt

[Swbluebird]

Jose Fonte after we were relegated from the premier league

[Rhiw-Blue]

I'd forgotten about him, seems as though Malky could scout a player!

People conveniently forget that and focus on the one big F*** up he made in the transfer market, but you're damn right he could spot a player!

As I've previously mentioned Virgil Van Dijk, Jay Rodriguez, Kurt Zouma, Victor Wanyama, Jamie Vardy, Benjamin Mendy among others were all scouted and pursued by Malky when they were all in budget for us too

[LordKenwyne]

Jose Fonte after we were relegated from the premier league

That was such a stupid rumour.

Saints said they didn't want him to go and he was integral to their plans. Yet Fonte was apparently desperate to move down leagues

[Zenith]

James Vaughan, Wayne Routledge

[islandblue]

Mame Biram Diouff of Stoke and Bafetimbi Gomis who played for the jacks and then Marseille.

[Penarth Blues]

Besic of Everton

You're right - it was Besic not Matic

All of them were of course not on any club's radars whatsoever. Malky had that eye nobody else did...

[Baloo]

John Oster has to be in there somewhere.
