Crazy story, even more crazy to think that the EPL player of the year could have signed for them. :greengrin

Apparently they were semi close to getting Ronaldinho either before PSG or on loan from them.

Up there with Hibs giving Fraser Forster a trial but not signing him due to technical inability. You could do a thread on players being rejected before making the grade elsewhere. Didn't Rangers turn down the opportunity to sign Vardy and opt to sign Sandanza instead?

Think it was Motherwell that knocked back Vardy.

Sevco had Craig Gordon on trial but he declined their offer of £500 a week before signing for Celtic...

St Mirren sacked him.

He left East Stirling for St Mirren even though ES were higher in the league at the time.
