Who was the worst phantom bid?

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Sir Bobby Robson

 

[zirc]

Negredo annoyed me the most because it was so obviously never happening and designed just to distract our attention from the train wreck that was the Fer bid.

 

[Ollie d]

Surely Niasse is the worst phantom bid.
What,he had signed? Played for us even? Phantom as in Casper the Ghost that lad!

 

[bizzaro]

Shearer surely.

Agreed.

Although many of Bill Kenwright's shenanigans come very close.

 

[ant1878]

Can we have a summary about each phantom bid! i know about Shearer but some of the others im sketchy when it comes to details!

 

[riddick]

Not even sure our delegation is back from Portugal for Moutinho yet..

 

[Frank Gallagher]

What about that Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe bloke?

Suppose no one had actually heard of him at the time though

just couldnt get the paperwork done in time.... of course!

Same here.


Just the audacity of them to put the story in the press given the timing, it was just a joke.

 

[Frank Gallagher]

surely it should be MOURINHO as manager ??

 

[badger5187]

Stan Collymore

 

[ant1878]

Same here.

Sure i remember this! Didnt the club use Bad news O'Keeffe to "break" the story about 10pm the night before the deadline day?

 

[d4kyxx]

Does anyone remember the bid that never was for Alan Smith years ago?

 

[Dubai Blue]

The pre-tournament agreement for Arshavin, then he had a stormer of a summer and we just fell off the radar!

 

[KaiserEFC]

just couldnt get the paperwork done in time.... of course!

How many times have we heard that old chestnut over the years

Who was that player that Big Joe wanted, that ended up gong to Chelsea, short name, his club had a big sell on clause, I heard we offered to buy him for buttons and another cheap player for well over the odds, so they got the right amount of money for the 2 players ? Something like, im sure it was one of the reasons Joe left in the end?
