    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.

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

          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

              Wasn't Bryan Robson supposed to be close to signing too?
              A lot of people run a race to see who is fastest. I run to see who has the most guts, who can punish himself into exhausting pace, and then at the end, punish himself even more.

                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.

                    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.

                      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.

                        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!
