Heres a question to have some fun with. What's the most obvious signing we never made? Try not to use too much hindsight. You can say Jamie Mackie- if you knew of him and were deeply confident in his ability at the time. And the other aspect is that they had to be attainable at the time.

There's 2, I recall both around the same time.
Steve Morison and Simeon Jackson. We could of signed both of those for around £100k each.
Paul Trollope decided to sign Andy Williams and Darryl Duffy instead, and then chase a young Chris Wood for ages to try and bring him on loan.
Morison and Jackson are 2 players that would have been brilliant for us.

Reuben Reid perhaps I dunno I thought for about a minute that’s the only one I could think of and lost interest.

Christian Doidge. Apparently he was about to sign for us a few years back! According to the ITK ers at the time😂

Ok I get it now. James Constable. McGhee chased him around like a Benny Hill sketch.

I'm surprised Ryan Harley has never played for us. Just signed for Bath.

Jamie Forrester. By the time we did sign him he was way past his best.

Remember when McGhee chased Constable from Oxford all summer when it was obvious he didn’t want to leave Oxford?

In response to the OP, Jamie Mackie is another one Trolls tried to sign, but he went to Plymouth.

Could have signed Charlie Austin, but Trolls thought he was playing at too low a level to bother with.

In PTs time I always thought Lee Frecklington would have been a good fit for us. Think he was at Lincoln at the time. Ollie Watkins in his first year or two at Exeter would have been great but when you see him now that was never going to happen! UTG!

Might have had a chance if we made a move for him then.
