Just for a bit of fun as my feeling is Hackney will stay at Borough who from memory has turned us down after agreeing deal.

Claus Jensen? Can't remember how far down the line that one got.

Edit. Crook did actually agree to sign. Then reneged days later.

Sean Derry. That was basically a done deal, Keane was fuming.

I think QPR eventually offered a bigger deal. Agent was playing the two clubs off one another and we eventually pulled out.

Andy Carroll was coming on loan until he found out how far Ipswich was from Newcastle.

Keane was really p1ssed off about that one. A good family friend of mine was working at the club at the time, reckons it didn't go down well at all.

There was a deal to be done when he was at Watford IIRC, but Sheepy wouldn't stump up the £300k and he went to Sunderland.

Yes and no. Came down and had conversations but we couldn't get a deal agreed and Sunderland phoned and offered what he wanted and that was that.

We should have got that deal done but he didn't pull out, nothing got agreed, were being too tight

Charlie Austin.
George Boyd.
Kevin Phillips.

Boyd was at Playford Road with everything agreed until ME wanted to put in a ridiculously high release clause.

We had everything agreed but Sheepy wouldn't close the deal until a tribunal had decided how much Man City had to pay us for Tony Vaughan. So Sunderland swooped.
We ended up with David Johnson II a few weeks later so not all bad.

Oh really, I was always of the impression that we wouldn't go to what he wanted and Sunderland called him when he was in the car park.

David Johnson wasn't a bad deal but Phillips would have been mega, whether we'd have kept him though i dont know

Thought we couldn’t agree a few with Watford, so Sheepy said we’d go to a tribunal.

Only problem was we were already going to tribunal for the sale of Tony Vaughan to Man City, and the League rules were such that you could only have one tribunal pending at a time.
As soon as Phillips left ITFC grounds, his agent called him to say Sunderland had agreed a fee with Watford and he drove straight there from us.
