Carrying on the theme of past managers and players - does everyone want to have a go at naming ONE player that each of our past managers SHOULD have bought but didn't for whatever reason? (since we last won the title)
I will start with my five:
Dalglish: Gary Pallister (we turned him down after he agreed to a move!)
Souness: Roy Keane (We tried for him, dunno what happened)
Evans: Marcel Desailly (board didn't want to pay his wages)
Houllier: Cristiano Ronaldo (didn't want to pay £1m a season in wages)
Benitez: Danni Alves (Didn't want to go above £12m)
I think all of these managers might have had a chance of the title with just one of those :(
Hindsight eh? Looking at that lot though, I think most fans wanted those players at the time too!
