Over the years, Liverpool have had their fair share of hits and misses in the transfer
market, but what about đ the deals that never quite came off?
On this weekâs Wednesday
episode of This Is Anfieldâs YouTube and podcast series with đ the Late Challenge
Podcast, Paul Cope and Gareth Roberts recalled some of Liverpoolâs near transfers and
discussed how things could đ have turned out.
Among the best footballers of all time is
Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese began his career at Sporting Lisbon đ before
progressing to Man United then Real Madrid, where his goalscoring record was simply
ridiculous â the No. 7 netted đ an astonishing 451 goals in 438 games for Madrid.
It
could have been Liverpool he moved to, though, had things turned đ out differently in
2003.
With his performances for Sporting attracting attention, Gerard Houllierâs
Liverpool agreed a ÂŁ4 million fee for the đ winger but, speaking to The Athletic, Phil
Thompson revealed how it fell through.
The European Cup-winning captain said: âI asked
about đ the salary and Tony [Henry, agent] told me it was ÂŁ1 million a year, net.
âFor an
18-year-old, that was a đ lot of money. But Tony said it was negotiable and I thought,
âJesus, these lot are really trying to push đ him out of the doorâ.
âWe were keen, the
boy was obviously a great talent.â
There was, of course, a twist in đ the tale and
Thompson revealed: âI will never forget what happened next.
âOn the Tuesday morning, we
were having lunch at đ the training ground and it came up on the yellow strap on Sky
Sports, âManchester United have signed Cristiano Ronaldo đ for ÂŁ12.2 millionâ.
âGerard
and myself almost choked on our food. I can remember Gerard jumping up and saying,
âWhat the đ hell has gone on there?ââ
Even if the Portuguese had signed for Liverpool,
things may have not turned out as successfully đ for him as they did in reality.
On this
weekâs podcast, Cope suggested: âI donât think Houllier and Thompson would have đ been
able to manager Cristiano Ronaldo in the same way Alex Ferguson could manage him.
âAlex
Ferguson had that level of đ âyou canât f**k around with meâ, but also had the âyouâve
got to respect me because of what Iâve already đ doneâ.
âAnd I think thatâs the
management Ronaldo needed. I think heâd have been too far the other way for us; đ too
much the arrogant, cocky young lad.
âYouâve got to remember when he first came in,
there was a lot of đ work to do with him.â
Roberts had a similar feeling, saying he
wasnât a âLiverpool playerâ and that âheâs turned out đ to do what heâs done in every
respect of life, and letâs say maybe it wasnât the right thing for đ Liverpool.â
Paul
Cope and Gareth Roberts are speaking on a new show from This Is Anfield and The Late
Challenge Podcast.
There đ is a live show that airs each Monday at 5pm (UK) on This Is
Anfieldâs YouTube, with our second show đ each Wednesday.
