players we were linked to and didn't get but would have been amazing (i know we're linked to everyone though)

some interesting ones:
- we were linked with d. silva in 2010 but he ended up choosing city
- we hesitated deciding on alisson when he was at roma cos we didnt know if courtois was gna stay, liverpool then commited and got him
- we were linked with bellingham when he was still at blues
- we were looking at guimaraes before he even moved to europe
