The Best Player LFC Never Had?

[alunevans]

Yeah, I read that in Roy's autobiog. Desailly as well. They had talks but he wanted too much money..

Sheringham would have fitted into Evans Liverpool side perfectly. Error by the board. He was a genuine Liverpool type player and then we let him sign for the Mancs.

Imagine if Fowler had had Sheringham feeding him.

Pele, Real Ronaldo and Messi.

[badpiggy]

As regards players we nearly had.... Roy Keane, Michael Essien, Ronaldo, Dani Alves (I'm only a recent convert to him).

[scully]

Didn't we actually turn down Cantona?

Think the story goes that Platini spoke to Souness about him but Graeme couldnt take the risk as he had other problem players

[Rowan]

Wasn't Bryan Robson supposed to be close to signing too?

[alunevans]

I know it was probably youth and partisanship. Maybe it was cos we had Souness. But as a young boy I used to look at Robson and think "you're ****." Harsh I know, but that's honestly how I used to view him.

if you really want to wind a manc up tell them peter reid was by far a better player

First person I thought of without opening the thread was Michael Laudrup.

He provided the benchmark for a lot of the player in this generation - a lot have copied his skills such as looking one way and passing the opposite way.

[Clapper]

Other way round - he wanted 3, we wanted 4.

Actually a cotract was agreed for 3 years, but then we suddenly wanted him for 4 years, but without paying extra for the extra year.

[magicalbarnes]

Apparently we had him signed, he wanted a 4 year contract, we only offered a 3 year contract. He was 19. He went to Juve instead (I think...)

But we never missed him beacuse without him, we still went onto win the league & FA cup.

Yeah, just....

We eventually got Beardsley...now I loved Beardsley, but he couldn't hold a candle to Laudrup. We would have been debating between Laudrup and Dalglish as the best ever Liverpool player. He would have been the perfect replacement. Didn't we get Paul Walsh instead?

If we'd had Laudrup for 5 years, we would have swept everyone aside. Oh hang on, we did.

Ok, we would have done it even better!

[mick the click]

did you never get a cd mick?

Nope!

Messi

[Daniel 7]

But we never nearly signed Messi
