david in sweden Posted 25 December, 2012 Share Posted 25 December, 2012 (edited) With another transfer window about to "open " I'd thought I'd look back and see what happened to " the one's who got away" or perhaps better described as " glad we didn't bother " players who we DIDN'T sign in the last couple of seasons, and see how they fared. Nicky Maynard. Scored goals for Bristol City at the bottom end of the Championship. then moved to Wham for £3 million+ (?) managed 4 goals in 17 games but disappointed Sam, and was quickly shipped out to Cardiff for £2.75 and after 3 goalless matches has been out with knee injury since September. Lukas Jutkiewicz (ex saints Academy) Occasional goalscorer in NPC for (now relegated Coventry) moved to Midd'boro (£1.3 million) under Tony Mowbray and has since scored 9 times in 35 games. Jermaine Beckford was good with Leeds, and ended up at Everton, disappointed with 8 goals in 34 games and then moved to Leicester for £4 million. Later loaned to Hudd'f'd to date (3 goals in 8 games). Jordon Rhodes (Huddersfield hot shot in L1 ..who moved to relegated Blackburn for...£8 million in the summer and has netted 11 times in 17 games. but he's still only in Championship ! (Looks good so far, but not sure I'd chance bringing an L1 player direct into the Prem....not for £8 mill. anyway) ....in the end we DID sign Billy Sharp and must be grateful we did as it was his 9 goals in 9 games that helped got us promoted in the midst of Rickie Lambert's late season goal drought, would like to think Billy would have another shot at the Prem. when his loan runs out, but he may settle on a permanent move to Forest.?

Saint Charlie Posted 25 December, 2012 Share Posted 25 December, 2012 Ruud Knol was an error from the scouting committee. He is ripping up the Dutch 2nd division. Tom Craddock also will go down as one that got away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dig Dig Posted 26 December, 2012 Share Posted 26 December, 2012 Definitely should have signed Lee Cook when we had the chance. Replacing Lallana wouldn't be as hard as it is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrunkenSaint Posted 26 December, 2012 Share Posted 26 December, 2012 would have meant the end of Lambert, that's a step too far for most, including the transfer committee. In the end goals are goals and we need them, Michu is better than Lambert, this is the biggest miss of them all i reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As others have said, he wanted to play for Laudrup. No indication we ever made a bid. Every Prem team now wishes they got him.
