We should have signed Bergkamp.
The Zidane myth is actually attributed to Dalglish and Blackburn, not us. I doubt Zidane had even heard of us before Gareth bale.Zinedine Zidane, but he was too wooden according to Gerry Francis.
Although - on the other hand the gap ti bridge to being a successful side in the 90s was arguably smaller tooI'd say Yaya Toure, Suarez, Drogba or Ageuro.
I love Bergkamp and a few others mentioned, but as said before, we were so crap in the 90s & early 00s that I don't think a single player would've elevated us. But recently, say the last 5 years, any of these would've made a huge difference
Vieira is an excellent aboutThe one foreign player who would have made us contenders in any part of the Epl, including now, is Vieira.
Utterly dominant and made an impact in every area of the pitch.
Since I've been a member on this site we've cried out for such a player and only once come close with Carrick.
We've had great strikers and defenders but always been also rans without a dominant midfielder.
Bentaleb and Vieira would turn us into winners.
I'd have loved Suarez at the club - I think had he came the same time he went to Livepool we could have challengedBergkamp
Zola
CR7
I would say Suarez, but he's a prize c***!!!
Suarez when we could of got him. Imagine him, Bale, Modric and VDV.
We would of been challenging for the PL. The guy is a total dick on the pitch but he did have that winning mentality and seemed fine off the pitch.
They wouldn't of left because we would of been consistently playing at the top level... I always say to myself what could of been if we did sign Suarez that summer and took a gamble instead of letting him go to the scouse.What a team that would have been. Would have been heart breaking watching them all leave though.
