Favourite Transfer window Stories

[Ashtonian]

Everybody has them, what are your favourite stories of what has happened on transfer day?

My top 3 off the top of my head;

1. Peter Odemwingie sitting outside Loftus road waiting for a transfer that clearly was not going to happen. He ended up looking a bit of a muppet in the end on sky sports, especially when they were interviewing him!

2. Drenthe and the Straq sat in the lounge in goodison all day. what other club would do this? Listen lads we cant loan you until we have sold these 3 players so sit tight all day and wait for their paperwork to come through.

3. This transfer window, just sitting on twitter on my phone hearing all the negative comments about the club then with 10 minutes to go it was like 'oh my god!'. Really entertaining end to a very drawn out day. Especially when in work googling and then humming fernando.

Whats your best funny or entertaining transfer stories?

Got to be the one I think it was a player that was going to Leeds and his agent just told him to sit tight and say the right things and they would talk about wages later.
After they walk out of meeting agent says to player I can't believe they offered to pay you X amount of £'s I was only going to ask them for half what they were offering so I bumped it up a bit and said yes straight away to their new offer!!

...remember that Brazilian guy (Muller?) turning up at Goodison a few years ago with his entourage in tow. They looked like a gang of mobsters.

Yes remember that,all in their shades and smart suits. Didn't the same sort of thing happen with Ravenelli ?

Ps got one:
Robinho turning up at Manchester Airport thinking he's agreed to join United, only for it to be City.

What about Fastino Asprilla joining Cambridge United after years outside of the country?

Or him arriving, having medical, nipping out before contract signing and not being seen again.

Nigel Martin anyone ? Waiting around at The Hamper place in Birkenhead and then leaving there to drive to Leeds Utd
