Players who turned the Albion down

[Icy Gull]

Ok we all know about Kanchelskis but what other players have you heard of that decided not to come here?

Paul Jewell is about the only one I can think of off the top of my head. There must be loads of others that took one look at the place and said "no thanks". Seem to remember some Oxford/Swindon player who was very highly rated who came to watch a game at the Goldstone and walked out before the end after telling Mullery (I think) that he wasn't interested in playing for such a crap team Buggered if I can think of his name though.

There must have been a few recently bearing in mind MM has reportedly chased 42 strikers and none of them came to the club (for various reasons) before GNW

Difference is we probably turned most of them down when we heard how much money they wanted

My mate - oh no they turned him down!!

Sidwell ??

We matched reading's bid did we not and he chose Reading

Paul enjoyed his loan spell here but was reluctant to move down south! Still is, hence George Burley is manager at Southampton!

 

[dunno]

Dion Dublin was set to sign before he went to Celtic

Ray Houghton, early in his career was another one rumored to have slipped through the net as well I think.

Nope it was a very young and very highly rated midfielder who never fulfilled his potential. Something vaguely like Beaumont or some French sounding surname. Bloody annoying me now

 

[Juan Albion]

Jim Magilton

 

[SurreySeagulls]

Ian Wright and Roy Keane I believe were both rejected by the club

 

[TSB]

Neil Shipperley
Darren Caskey? (Thank god)

 

[Yoda]

Luke Nightingale chose to stay with Bognor instead of going pro again.

Francis Jeffers, didn't Pinamonte turn us down after his loan spell and go to Brentford and we got stuck with someone called Zamora
