5. Falcao to Aston Villa
No thanks, we will go for Heskey instead. The then - River Plate player, could have been signed by Martin O' Neill for £5m in 2008. The Colombian joined Porto next year, just to become the club's best goalscorer and now enjoy Manchester United status.
4. Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Arsenal
Ibra was just a teen playing in Malmo when Wenger wanted to take him on a trial. But as we all no, Zlatan doesn't do auditions. 15 years have passed since that event and the veteran striker changed seven different clubs in the meantime, although never featuring a Premier League team.
3. Ronaldinho to Manchester United
This would have been particularly interesting. The year was 2003 and Gaucho was playing in a not so rich Paris Saint-Germain. David Beckham made a move to Real Madrid and the Red Devils were in a seek of replacement. He decided to join Barcelona, and United eventually had to settle with young Cristiano Ronaldo. Some luck, huh?
2. Cristiano Ronaldo to Arsenal
Another headache for the Gunners. Ronaldo actually was training with the Londoners for some time, and even received a red jersey with a no.9. There wouldn't be an Old Trafford transfer if Carlos Querioz hadn't known him from Sporting by the time he was Fergie's assistant.
1. Steven Gerrard to Chelsea
The symbol of football faithfulness, Gerrard, had found himself in Mourinho's plans in 2004. Rumours involved a £36 million deal for Stamford Bridge move, but it all fell apart. Liverpool won the Champions League trophy next year and English legend must have been glad it did break down.
