It was 1984 and remember Ron Atkinson was looking for a striker. I was desperate for Atkinson to sign Gary Lineker from Leicester and was apoplectic when he actually bought Alan Brazil. In fact sources at the time said Lineker turned up for talks to find Ron had gone on holiday. He signed Brazil and a year later Lineker went to Everton scored something like 42 goals and won everton the league. By then Brazil was moving on or about to and SAF would soon take over.
In the 90's I again found myself shouting about a young Brazilian at PSV I think, Ronaldo it was, but we bought Yorke. Did alright Yorkey but what if we had bought Ronaldo.
So what I hear you say?

Well thanks to the press the names are coming in Lorrente, Zlatan, Pedro, Benzema yet my head is screaming Lewandowski and I just hope we make the right choice this time because I don't want to ask what if again

Linekar joined Everton in 1985 and they finished second in the league, they were also runners up in the FA cup where big ears scored the opening goal. He than left for Spain after one season.

Yorkey did "alright"!!! He was part of one of if not the best strike partnership the perms ever seen? I get ya point in the other part tho lewi would b perfect for us?

Completely agree mate. If Lewandowski is available we should do everything to get him.

Remember when we didn't sign Ronaldinho? The most exciting player around and football legend? The we decided to sign some unheard of 17 year old from Portugal. That didn't turn out too bad.

Football has its moments like this we just need to be thankful for the players we have had and have signed. Depay will be the player that will make us not regret signing Bale.

Yorkey 'did alright'? We won the Treble in the year we signed him and his partnership with Andy Cole was one of the best things I have seen at Old Trafford.

I understand your point but not sure Yorke is the best example here.

You are Correct, Everton didn't win the league with him in 85-86 although after Ron ignored him in 84 he finished the leagues top goalscorer then the next season scored 30 goals in 41 games. But what if he had signed for us ?

I don't want to lose the point about Lewandowski however I stand by the Yorke comment and am not criticising him. My thoughts are that Yorkie was a top player who formed a great partnership with Cole but Ronaldo the Brazilian carried on at a higher level than Yorke for some time. That Ronaldo was an all time great of the game.
We just need to make good decisions now and to ignore someone like Lewandowski would, in my opinion be a mistake of high proportions

Rm I've been saying for some time that lewandawaski will be the best choice. I love watching him and he can score goals in all ways, head, shots, close, long. Amazing player. Hope we're not going to get llorente!!
