Pretty sure we had heavily scouted Luis Suarez when he was at Ajax, just prior to when he signed for Liverpool. Apparently the story goes that Redknapp had concerns over whether he could play as a loan striker and possibly Sherwood saying that he didn't think he was a good fit for the Premier League or something like that, jd2010 or NSFB might remember a bit more about that one.
Apparently were were also nailed on to sign Eden Hazard and Oscar when we finished 4th and looking like playing in the Champions League the following season. That was until Chelsea won the Champions League and knocked us out before we'd even played a game, a situation made worse when those players went on to sign for Chelsea. And of course later on, the Willian transfer situation is well known.

Big mistake.
