I thought we did a similar thread a couple of months ago??? Ray Wilkins almost got Gazza on loan in 96... he ended up with Hateley and the rest is history. |  | | |

Poor NW couldn't sign Danny Graham and Wayne Routledge and a couple of others. Pity about that, might have put a very different complexion on that season. |  | | |

I think Ollie watched Paulo Wanchope score 9 goals in 3 trial games and decided to pass on him |  |

John O'Shea apparently spent a week with us as a teenager, before taking a punt on United. Well, we could have sold him. |  | | |

that was Rioch or Houston. Didn't want to sign a player who would at times be unavailable due to international duties. Best off sticking with the shite ones, eh? |  | | |

I stand corrected. Or at least sit in a remotely comfortable seat... corrected. | |

There was - a back page story in the Standard in 1996 or so. I saw a bloke reading it in a lift in Goodge St and asked to borrow his paper.
Total bollocks of course but I was beside myself at the time |  | | |

Wasn't there murmurs of Ronaldinho coming in about three years ago.
Scotched because he was, at the time, about 36.
I would have still loved that. What a purely wonderful footballer.
He would have been a disaster, surely, but OH to see some flicks, tricks, gloves, snood, teeth and skills for three games before it got too cold/wet/dark.... |  | | |

Darren Ambrose, remember that? Tore it up for Palace and Warnock nearly brought him but in the end he went to Birmigham for quarter of a million and played about 5 games in 2 years. |  |

I had the "Baggio is QPR Target" headline pinned to a cupboard at work for a few years. | | | |

| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

Jonathan Walters - was in Warnock's office before Stoke came in for him. We signed Tommy Smith and Rob Hulse instead. |  | | |

I was going to say that one - I believe they even filmed the interviews and did the photo shoot with him in the QPR top and everything, then it fell through.
Not exactly 'nearly bought' but we bid for Schmeichel before he went to United and pretty sure we made an audacious attempt for Lineker when he was due to leave Barca. |  |

I dont think Lineker was very Crisp @ that time. |  |
| If at first you dont succeed, pack up and f**k off home. |

Kevin Keegan apparently!
We were front of the queue and having scored a couple in front of scouts; Scunny upped the fee, we dropped out, and Liverpool snapped him up.
If true, we can only speculate as to how the course of history could have been altered. |  |

Ben Watson had a long and futile engagement before going to Wigan. People even sang "Watson is a Ranger" to him when we played Palace. | | | |
