Interesting thread. Was thinking of doing something similar.
Not sure if he was ever "linked" but many here would have liked us to have signed Matt Tubbs. Cost a lot of money and rarely gets a look in at Bournemouth.
We couldn't afford Sam Baldock but he is not a regular starter for Bristol City. His goal ratio is good in a struggling team though (10 goals in 19 starts and 11 as sub) so I am not sure why. Fitness problems?
I wanted us to sign Wordsworth and Boyd, both class players. Wordsworth got a bad injury and is just coming back. I suppose Boyd was always priced out of our league but he seems to be doing well at Hull.
Interesting issue: just because players are not rooting up any trees at other clubs (like Tubbs), it doesn't mean they might not shine with us (like Kermorgant). If CP really had faith in a player who was misfiring elsewhere he might pick him up cheaply. Guess we have missed the boat with Schlupp now Man Utd have been hyping him. And if Pearson goes the next manager might want to give all his staff the chance to impress him.
