Can you picture Daniel Agger in an Everton shirt? No?
Thank goodness. Neither can we, thanks to David Moyes. The former Everton boss came very close to adding the centre-back to his ranks at Goodison Park prior to his eventual switch to city rivals Liverpool.
Stunningly, however, the ex-Brondby star recounted the time the Scottish coach ghosted him after suggesting some interest in his talents.
“My first year I won the league and the cup and played for the national team, one of my first games was against England and we won 4-1, i t was a really good game,” the Dane spoke on the Aldo Meets Podcast.
“Brondby actually told me that David Moyes the Everton manager was in the stadium and wanted to speak to me afterwards and I said ‘yeah, okay’. And I came after the game and thought that was a decent game, but he disappeared.
“I asked the club director there and he said ‘no, he said to me he didn’t think you were prepared for the Premier League’. I thought okay and six months later I was here.”
