Teams that we haven’t signed a player from

Hopefully a good discussion rather than a thread of no it alls.
Which current premier league teams have we never directly signed a player from? Let’s cap it with the last 30years.
Liverpool?
Newcastle?

David Edgar was the last from Newcastle in 2009 and from Liverpool it was Jon Flanagan on loan in 2016. If you don’t include loans then it’s probably Les Shannon in 1949.

If you’d have gone for 40 years then Tommy Cassidy from Newcastle would have just crept in.

I think it’s more surprising that they’re in the Premier League than not having signed anyone from them.

Think we can dig one out for most of them if loans are included

Let’s not include loans, but Edgar was a good shout!
Any suggestions ?

Mahorn was dreadful. That consolation goal at Wycombe was probably his one and only positive contribution and given we were already 4-0 down at the time it was hardly of much use.
