We matched Liverpool's bid for Torres and he chose to go to Liverpool rather than City which most people would lol. | Credit to Apthered for the awesome sig. | | | 29-03-08, 06:23 AM | #4 (permalink) | | Hot Prospect Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: Dorset Posts: 53 Thanks: 11 Thanked 14 Times in 12 Posts | 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. | | | | | 30-03-08, 09:52 AM | #5 (permalink) | | Decent Youngster Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: badsey Posts: 9 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts | not very ridiculous but mine is, west ham after adriano. | | | | | 30-03-08, 02:58 PM | #6 (permalink) | | Used In Squad Rotation Join Date: Aug 2007 Location: Sunderland Posts: 483 Thanks: 6 Thanked 24 Times in 15 Posts | Start of the Season Sunderland were getting Forlan Scholes and Giggs.
