Watching Willian for Chelsea last night reminded me how pleased I was that we got gazumped for a player I thought was overpriced and overrated, so I thought i'd open a thread on the players we were linked with that in retrospect we are delighted we didn't get.
Personally I was a huge fan of both Jose Bosingwa and Yuri Zhirkov who we were linked with at one time and went on to less than stellar careers with Chelsea. On the other hand I was very much on the "F**K NO!" side of the proposed 'Bale + money for Downing' exchange which would have made the Spurs we know today look like one of those dystopian futures where the Nazis had won the war.
So from Fernando Morientes to Carlton Cole and any others, which 'bullets with our name on' do you most remember us 'doing a Neo' on, and which side were you on?
