    Arjen Robben. No doubt about it.

    Ballack & Deco were missed this season IMO.

    Also wish we signed Cristian Eriksen after we had him on trial twice but we rejected him.

    Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira (for another two years at least), Kolo Toure, Gilberto Silva.

    I would've said Ashley Cole, but I wouldn't welcome him back.

    Kleber, but he wanted to play in the Libertadores, so it there wasn't much the club could do. We have two great replacements now though.

    Also Marquinhos.

    If players have gone on to bigger and better things, then it's unrealistic to expect to keep them.

    Most players who leave us simply haven't been good enough, or the money/their quality has been too good.

    I'd say the last time I had regrets was in the 2002-2004 period where we spent too much and had to sell up good players who went for peanuts.

    Not many players leave and go on to better things.

    Only two players recently. Mascha and Alonso.

    Similar to Lux really, since we got relegated any good player that has left has gone on to do well in the Premiership so it'd be completely unrealistic. It'd be naive of me to say oh I wish we'd kept Beckford, Delph, Smith, Lennon and Milner.

    I suppose though if I went further back I'd say I wish we kept Ferdinand. His departure essentially led to our downfall. O'Leary said he wouldn't get in Ferdinand's way of moving to Man Utd, Ridsdale sacked him as a result and brought in Venables. Venables then sold Rio. Under O'Leary we were doing well and despite our financial trouble I suspect we'd have been absolutely fine, with or without Rio. But no, Venables fell out with players such as Dacourt, Fowler, Batty and Kewell and subsequently left us in the relegation zone in March.
