stevegrant Posted 29 December, 2011 Share Posted 29 December, 2011 I remember Lowe's (perfectly reasonable but not especially diplomatic) comments after it fell through when Bierhoff wanted £35k a week: "Oliver has to realise we are not Manchester United and he is not 27 anymore" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Majestic Channon Posted 29 December, 2011 Share Posted 29 December, 2011 If my memory serves me right we had Drogba at st marys talking over a move too, fell through due to high wage demands i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crab Lungs Posted 29 December, 2011 Share Posted 29 December, 2011 Oh, and another transfer miss - Rosicky when he was at Sparta Prague (I think?). We were quoted £10m, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectisSaint Posted 29 December, 2011 Share Posted 29 December, 2011 If my memory serves me right we had Drogba at st marys talking over a move too, fell through due to high wage demands i think I thought it fell through because Lowe thought Drogba had an attitude problem. Still we had Brett Ormerod so no worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been thinking back to the lowe days reading this thread and it reminds me of how lucky we are with our owners / chairman now,i haven't felt this good being a saint since the Lawrie days.

Hockey_saint Posted 30 December, 2011 Share Posted 30 December, 2011 Going back some, but I was thinking the other day about some of the players we've turned down....Gazza for example; just imagine him and Le Tiss as 2 attacking midfielders behind one Alan Shearer. But then as I pointed out to a Blackburn fan friend of mine the other day; It all really boils down to how the manager can utilise them a-la Branfoot struggling at the bottom of the premiership with the bases of a team that won the league. :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
