Previous transfer rumours that always get brought up and laughed at starting x1 08:55 - Jan 31 with 6131 viewspete81

Can we put together a starting 11 from all those favourite rumours we love to laugh about on transfer deadline day??
I'll start with the obvious:

Gk: Hislop

Cm: kaschlol (sp)

Cf: Batistuta

At the risk of embellishing this....didn't he:

1. Get photo'd with a Town shirt?
2. Actually sign a contract?

He didn't sign a contract - merely 'stated' he would be joining us.

It wasn't a trial. He was at Feyenoord and earmarked to replace Muhren as he was linked with a move away but ended up staying another year and so we didn't sign Gullit. Gazza had a trial as a youngster and we turned him down.

I actually bumped into the Burnley chairman on a train a few years after that happened. He reckoned Austin's decision was purely down to him having worked with Eddie Howe previously. Money-wise he said there wasn't a lot in it, just that the two had worked together at Bournemouth and had got on well.

Gert Verheyen.

Not a rumour but what might have been had Burley managed to sign him.

I'm assuming this XI would play against Lazio at home.

He was at Haarlem. A Town scout was sent to watch someone else, a goalkeeper I think, but Gullit caught the eye. As per other posts, at the time we already had three overseas players - Muhren, Thijssen and D'Avray, who was yet to get a British passport - so it wasn't taken any further.

It was during his talks at Portman Road that his dad, who was with him, took a mobile call from Howe. The rest is history. Fact.

Ah! Was it Feyenoord he moved to from Haarlem? I'm sure I read somewhere that Muhren may have been moving on and that would have triggered us going in for Gullit.

Trying to remember some of the 'links' when Marcus was first here and actually spending money with jim- there was a Greek striker I think can't remember his name now but certainly had heard of him at the time?

Charisteas I think, I believe he scored the winner in Euro 2004 final but might be wrong on that one.
