Players linked with Boro for ages but never signed

[BoroFur]

Rene Houseman!

 

[Badonde]

Weird how some of these signings become ‘mythically legendary’ and can cut across different manager-ships.
Mind you, spurs were linked with downing for about five years

 

[Johnny Vincents Motorbike]

Willie Pettigrew & Alan Rough

 

[FatCat]

Billy sharp

 

[parmoboy]

Kevin Phillips

Kevin Phillips

 

[Cooper671]

Brett Emerton

 

[Erimus74]

Willie Pettigrew & Alan Rough

Yep the pair I was going to say Wilf, both over a couple of season, Willie probably a season longer

 

[Badonde]

Romario and Roberto Carlos

 

[Badonde]

I only saw Rob Hulse once at the Riverside. Pretty good performance tbf.
Still need him!

 

[Cooper671]

Benni Mccarthy

Linked both as a player and a gaffer!

Miguel Angel Nadal

It must have been close, he even made the Boro squad on the Ladbrokes footy coupon for first scorer.

 

[s!ovak]

Bojan

 

[Erimus74]

Miguel Angel Nadal

I think I have a sports gazette which says we'd signed him from Barcelona

 

[Centralscrutinizer]

I'm still hoping the rumour about Paulo Maldini has some truth to it.

 

[WeeGord]

To take a slightly different approach, who can get a top class XI out of the nearly men?

 

[adammarc_98]

I'm still hoping the rumour about Paulo Maldini has some truth to it.

Would still do a job for us now.
