Players YOU always wished we had signed 13:28 - Nov 8 with 11134 viewsskyblue23

I'm not talking about players we were linked or close to signing and I'm not talking about Messi or Ronaldo. I'm talking players who weren't world beaters you'd have loved to get in an Ipswich shirt at some point in there career.

I'll start, Liam Lawrence whilst he was at Stoke. What a player in that period of his career for the level!

Poll: Paul Lambert moves on, would you be happy if Jim Magilton was given another go?

This is going to be very recent and somewhat uninspired, but Richard Stearman. I still feel we could have snagged him after his loan if we were flexible enough.

Going about a bit further, I did always used to be very envious of Bolton for having Eider G.. well, im not going to attempt to spell it. This was before he went on to the peak of his career too.

Stearman is an excellent shout, but op said not someone ever linked to us, and by being on loan he was linked to us...

....and said he was at Portman Road and had agreed personal terms, but the clubs couldn't agree the fee.

I think we were waiting on some cash from another player sale, can't remember who.

So he left and said that he knew Sunderland had agreed a fee with Watford, so phoned Peter Reid up from the car park and said he'd sign for them.

He always maintained that he'd have rather signed for us.

To be honest I think quite a number of players being discussed were linked with us, certainly Kevin Phillips was.

We were awaiting the Tony Vaughan transfer tribunal verdict.

If only we knew that we would receive £1.3m from that...

Ashley Westwood would of sorted out our midfield.

Similarly, didnt Robson tell Paul Gascoigne to not darken our doors?

as a player, would have been amazing (for 2-3 seasons anyway)

That’s a killer - never realised it was that close. Still, can’t imagine he would have done much better than David Johnson or Sir Marcus.

Had we signed all of them when there was any kind of chance my life following Town would have been massively different I reckon.

We also went after 17 year old John Terry, but he’s a toddler-haired sack of toss.

Before my time but Gazza and Ruud would have been stupendous.

The Gullit and Gascoigne transfers are often listed amongst footballs 'if only transfers'
