FIVE FAMOUS TRANSFER FAILS 5. Wesley Sneijder to Manchester United Manchester United were on the verge of landing Dutch playmaker Wesley Sneijder in the summer of 2011, as title rivals Manchester City closed in on Sergio Aguero. 4. Yaya Toure to Arsenal Arsene Wenger was close to signing the Ivorian international in 2003, and he even featured for the Gunners in a pre-season match against Barnet. 3.Kaka to Manchester City The Brazilian international midfielder was extremely close to moving to the Etihad Stadium, but AC Milan famously ‘bottled it’ if David Cook is to be believed. 2. Cristiano Ronaldo to Arsenal A signing that could, potentially, have changed the entire football landscape of the Premier League as we know it today. 1. Steven Gerrard to Chelsea It looked for all money that manager Jose Mourinho was set to secure a marquee signing in the shape of Steven Gerrard. A dramatic u-turn ensues however, with the England international putting pen to paper on a new contract at Anfield, rather than a deal that would see him move to Stamford Bridge@GRTMEKUS
