Transfer Rumours Summer window thread

Zidane for me, but its all about personal opinion. Never got to see Best or Cryuff other than on TV

 

Newcastle turned Zidane down because they already had Rob Lee

True story

 

It was Sid Hahn that the Toon turned down mate ... played centre mid for Real Pyonyang ... ended up in the Japanese J League

 

What I said is actually true mate... Keegan got offered him but we said no thanks

 

Did you know that Johan Cryuff was at one point considering signing for us? ... again true ... how seriously he was mind I don't know ..

 

No mate I didn't... There's been one or two over the years like when okotcha when to Bolton

Before or after he died?

That's him fanboying over some superior players.

 

He applied to be player manager at Everton but was turned down....true story

 

Both

 

What year was that in? I'd imagine that Everton would've been very good at the time. Mid 80s?

 

Nope, just a lie. just getting in on the pie in the sky player talk

 

Peej has drank a redbull

 

He played for the Los Angeles Aztecs and the Washington Diplomats. They don't even sound like real teams!

 

Americans always have to give their sports teams ****ed up names involving animals or inanimate objects.

Like the LA Lakers, what the **** is a Laker?

Remember when the Hull owner wanted to change the name of the club to the Hull City Tigers and the football league told him to **** off?

 

I don't mind the Americans naming their sports teams stupid things. It's distinctive.
Other clubs following that trend is ****ing stupid, though.
US sides trying to be European is even more stupid. Real Salt Lake? Inter Miami? **** off.

I've just looked up the Lakers thing, as it does sound ****ing stupid, doesn't it?
It comes from Minnesota's nickname, the land of a thousand lakes.
What's that got to do with LA? They moved there, in typical franchise fashion. Like Arsenal.

 

Doesn't surprise me
Its like the MK Dons still being called the MK Dons, I mean, if you aint from WimbleDON, then how are you the ****ing Dons!?!?

 

The worst thing about that whole shambles is that if they'd started from scratch, then people would admire them.
Wimbledon had to do it and they're already back to the same level.
If they were just Milton Keynes FC and had come from nothing, then they'd be far better off.
