Mourinho was first to discover Obi Mikel as far as I remember, at least he was interested in him before United came bidding. Ballack was a no-brainer, half of the world wanted him, not only us but Real Madrid and Milan as well. As for Duff, I don't think we ever wanted him, we would have made a move.
Robben and Essien were both our targets, although I'd say we were serious about the first one only. Essien, I think, was not a prime target hence we never made a bid for him.
As for Bosingwa, they haven't signed him yet.
