The Greatest Transfer Rumours to Have Never Happened

WSSWSS
edited February 2009 in Fun, Jokes & Captions
Don't think this has been before but I am prepared to sink myself if so...

What rumours have we heard that we thought may happen etc?

The two classics I remember are, Ronaldo to come from Inter Milan on his way back from an injury and Javier Portillo from Real Madrird to join on loan.

Who else?

    We were linked with the gorgeous Gabriel 'Batigol' Batistuta at one point. I'd have moved back to Charlton in that case ;-)

    It was Portillo. I'm sure I saw a serious article in an old Voice of The Valley that said we'd had a close look at Oliver Bierhoff.

    That's actually true, because he scored a hattrick against us in the Anglo Italian. He was available, but I think we gave Kim Grant another contract instead ...

    I remember hearing about Wiltord but not Pires

    I wanted to sign Wiltord so we could sing

    Those two Hibs players, Scott Brown and the other one. Think it was while Les Reed was in charge and someone from the board announced that we were interested.

    I think the story is.....he was offered to us after an anglo-italian cup game and we turned him down. I might be wrong but I'm sure AC said he wasn't what we were looking for.

    Others that spring to mind:

    Mathieu Flameni - when he left Marseille
    Pauletta - same time Costa was here, think he went to PSG instead

    The Croatian or Serbian centre forward who went to Chelsea instead - Ketman or something like that ;-)

    Kanu was a dead cert in the Sun before he joined WBA.

    Robert Green was linked MANY times but Charlton could never agree a fee of around 3m I think it was

    Steve Sidwell - missed out bigtime (he was the replacement for parker)

    who remembers Van Bommel - sky sports news even had a story on it??
