That was Moore, wasn't it, when Ritchie was our manager. Around the same time, we went in for McAteer, Faulconbridge, Daz Fergus on and Jon Newby, all for reported 6 figure fees. Imagine the state we'd have been in if we pulled them off!

 

Lots of the names mentioned on here weren't only rumoured on OWTB, we were actually in for most of them. Didn't the official website report our interest in Berger...

Were Rolando Aarons and Jamaal Lascelles rumoured signings at one point or am I misremembering?

 

Did Rolando Aarons not play a friendly for us?

 

Sylvain Ebanks Blakes name always tends to pop up on OWTB. And any former Latics player who may be out of contract or available...

JOHN ALDRIDGE

 

That one was true, he was training with us after he left Spain and wanted to sign. Royle thought he was too old and that his legs had gone. He then seemed to spend the next 10 years at the trannies bagging for fun, all be it at a lower level.

To be fair, he would've been a signing but for the Government blocking his work permit

Vardy.

 

Not sure we can count that...don't think it was ever actually a rumour? Only something we heard a long time after. Could be wrong tho.

 

Anyone said Harpel Singh yet? Was going to be the Asian player to entice the Oldham Asian community to come flocking to BP.
