    Anyone remember when Julien Faubert went on loan to Real Madrid? Or when Gravesen left Everton to join the galacticos at Real??

    Any more odd signings?

    Massimo Taibi to Man Utd, he couldn't catch and Man Utd had just won the treble about 3 months before they signed him.

    I didn't even know about Faubert. <laugh>

    Tevez and Mascherano to West Ham was a bit surreal.

    Yeah AG, very strange...Graverson to Real was crazy as well!

    Our craziest one recently has to be Ben Arfa - of all the rumours that were flying around at the time this one seemed so improbable, not complaining one bit though!

    From wikipedia...

    In 2004, more than a decade after retiring, Sócrates agreed to a one month player-coaching deal with Garforth Town of the Northern Counties East Football League in England.[5] He made his only appearance for the club on November 20, 2004 against Tadcaster Albion, coming on as a substitute twelve minutes from time.[6]

    There was the transfer that never happened as well when Tino was having talks with Darlington. That was an odd time...

    Nacho Gonzalez.

    He was **** and injured but we got him anyway to do a favour for the South American agents.

    Strangest managerial one has to be Scolari. From Chelsea to.....Bunyodkor??
