Best transfer rumours of all time

[Joeyboey]

Rivaldo to spurs lol.

 

[alamo]

Enzo Scifo

 

[Joeyboey]

My favourite bit of ITK was the bloke saying he had David Moyes in his living room

I wish they had invented the 'WTF' rating for that gem of ITK.

When Ramos came within one week we got linked with Eto'o, Ronaldinho and Villa. WOW.

 

[Yid-ol]

Kenos nan at the airport saying torres was on his way I think? It was someone we were tipped to sign anyway.

 

[leelee]

Batistuta and Rui Costa from Fiorentina. I was only 12 at the time and totally believed it

 

[KaNoUtE9]

Jean-Pierre Papin and Fernando Couto.

 

[Sum Monsterism]

He was, don't remember us being linked with him though.

... and if you don't remember, it couldn't have happened?

I think Eto'o was more than a rumour. Remember him scoring against the Arse and dedicated the goal to us. Must have been a disagreement in the fees at the last moment that it didn't happen.

Wasn't the goal for Cameroon against England where he played against Sol Campbell? I'm sure he nutmegged Campbell before scoring, then dedicated the goal to Spurs fans.

Nah, that doesn't sound like us.

Did I say that?

 

[Parker8]

Any defenders/goalies on your lists?

 

[Dharmabum]

Believe it or not but a few years ago Spurs were well, errr, linked to Messi and Xavi. It was before Messi's days as a super star but yet... I think no one believed the rumour though.

Remember way back in the 70s when we nearly signed Charlie George from arsenal before he went to derby

But that's not a rumour, it's a fact: he'd basically agreed to sign for Spurs but then Derby came in with a better offer.

 

[Mouse!]

Ryan Babel in a helicopter.

 

[Spurrific]

Puyol on SSN

 

[sherbornespurs]

Gerry Francis turning down Christophe Dugarry, and Zidane because he was 'too wooden'. Also the board laughing at the suggestion of buying Stefan Effenberg because he 'had a funny name'.

 

[kendoddsdadsdogsdead]

Medhi Mahdavikia. Was gutted when we didn't buy him for some reason. I think it was the summer we only really bought Tramezzani. Maybe that was the reason why.

 

[Krafty]

Signing two youngsters from Gremio about fifteen years ago - a striker called Wellington (we needed a striker even in those days) and a young prodigy called Ronaldinho.
