Default The most ridiculous football rumours

We all see them, in papers around the world. Stupid football rumours that wud never happen

Here are some I remeber

"Middlesborough chase Ronaldhino"
Boro have put in a 10mill bid for Ronaldhino

"City try last gasp attempt at Torres"
Man city are looking to hijack Liverpool's bid for Fernando Torres

Oh and the most ridiculous...

"Dream team star set for Anfield"
Yes that is right, an actor who was in TV Drama Dream Team was apparantly going to sign for Liverpool


How ridiculous!:D

The Torres one is true, Sven admitted it.
We matched Liverpool's bid for Torres and he chose to go to Liverpool rather than City which most people would lol.

The stupidest one I have heard recently was last august, it circulated briefly that Spurs were looking to sign Carlos Puyol from Barcelona, then follow that up by re-capturing freddy kanoute. We have three spurs fans where I work and for days they were lording a magnificent transfer coup over the rest of us. suffice to say once they had only signed Bent and lost the first game of the season to sunderland they went a bit quiet.

Start of the Season Sunderland were getting Forlan Scholes and Giggs. And it looks like Forlan might be back on the cards with him stating he wants to come back to England a few weeks ago :P

Puyol to Spurs would have been ridiculous, and to re-sign Spurs outcast Kanoute would have been even more stupid.

Adriano to West Ham = Crap over rated brazillian to a crap team, just like when they signed Radaciou, Typical west ham!

About the time when Bobby Robson was midway through his spell at Newcastle there were rumours that Brazilian Fatboy Ronaldo was going to link up with his old mentor...Like he would have lasted 5 minutes in the Premiership!

I remember a few years back, the whole Spurs "We nearly signed Ronaldinho" thing.

And it went on, and the same happened with other top players, such as Figo, Ronaldo and Zidane I think

Sunderland actually rejected ruud van nistleroy. True story, he went to PSV and the rest is history

I agree although Henry is getting on a bit, saying that Bent is worth as much...

That is what i meant

We turned down loads in the past as they "wern't good enough" Souness said he rejected Cantona. And Houllier decided not to get Zidane

I remember reading that Houllier rejected the chance to sign Rivaldo just before he signed for Milan, because he didn't want a big name player upsetting the balance of the team.
