Liverpool:

We nearly signed Alves from Sevilla two season's after that he became one of the world's best rightbacks at Barca, heck he was even a prodigy at Sevilla at that time i think he did even mention that he wanted to join Liverpool and

Villa for 8M before he moved to Valencia sadly the boffins wouldnt cough up enough money to get both

oh not forgetting

I'd like to quote Kobe on this...not signing Kewell was a blessing in disguise for Arsenal , he spent more time at the sidelines than on the pitch

ah just remembered Ronaldo the thin one was linked to Liverpool as well...and not sure if you lots remember enough but sure i do Daniel Carvalho from CSKA Moscow.
