Worst Transfer Sagas in recent years

[Bobby Hundreds]

The birth of twitter. I mean the Internet made the transfer window shit but then everyone found a fucking voice with twitter, its the ultimate Chinese whispers and I hope every fucker who uses it eyes fall out or at least those who use it to transfer gossip. Even aspas was a fucking saga, a player from a near relegated club who few else where interested in became a fucking saga. Fuck twitter.

[Sangria]

Gerrard by a country mile.

[Guest LFD]

I don't remember one being as bad as this for transfers in general, I desperately want it to end.

 

Gerrard was much worse for me, as I was desperate for him to stay.

 

Not arsed if Suarez goes or stays as long as we get the right fee and he doesn't go to another English side.

[WhiskeyJar]

Sahin, just for following it so closely, got really glad at the time we got him, and in the end he was such a let down.

[rainman]

Pele - "I should have signed for the blushite" (patented 1966), was the funniest.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

In terms of actual sagas, the whole Aquilani circus pissed me off. It went on for years and we had to put up with everyone trying to bluff their way out of the situation - successive managers talking him up, agents blabbing, the charade of pre-season and the crushing inevitability of the final outcome.

[SCOUSE TAPAS]

I can remember the Torres leaving or the first Chelsea bid for him and being on here. Don't think anybody was convinced he was going to go there .That is till Dave said that he will go as the club has made public the Chelsea bid and when that happens the player always leaves.

By the time people came to realise he was off he had already gone. Four days from first bid to there he goes the lying twofaced broken Spanish speaking turd.

[fowler9]

and despite it losing any respect I had for him at least when Owen joined the Mancs it ended the tiresome rumours about him coming back every year

[DooooodekNo5]

Sahin is a good shout, what a waste of fucking time for everbody that was.

 

For me the Suarez situation now has already gone way past anything previous, i stopped reading any Suarez story a month ago, just can't be fucked with it, hes a dick but im praying he stays at the end of it all.

 

For other clubs the Fabregas to Barca thing every summer for 5 years was tedious bullshit.

[Funkasy]

Fabregas was the biggest pile of shit ever. And barca starting 11 and the president talking about it all the time. Didnt someone call him a modern slave at arsenal or something? Just to put more pressure on

[razor]

Buying a load of crap during the summer of 2002, not to mention coming close to signing Lee Bowyer.

 

I was one of those letter-writing types. I wrote a letter to Houllier saying that if we signed that thug Bowyer I'd be returning my season ticket.

 

I would have done, too.

 

Anyway, it's 100% thanks to me that we didn't sign him.

 

I also did the same when we were looking at Queresma.

[Walton Park]

Gerrard to Chelsea. Twice. Hated that he would even think of going there.

 

Same for me.

 

That would of finished me off that with the footy.

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

What about Simao? When he was on the plane and was ordered off?

 

Anyone remember this?

[fowler9]

Gabriel Heinze was pretty tedious at the time

[Trumo]

It's all just a tedious charade these days, made worse by rolling news media and social media allowing any brainless fuckwit give their two-pence worth. What doesn't help is the needlessly convoluted way in which the players and clubs go about things. They are just as bad as each other, allowing themselves to be dictated to by agents only interested in making money. The amount of money wasted on agent fees is a fair indication of just how bad things are. Also, certain phrases get repeated all the time, such as players talking about 'dream moves' and 'wanting to play at the highest level', only to then fuck off to Anzhi in Russia where each week they'll earn the equivalent of a mid-sized African nation's GDP. Also overused is the phrase 'you never know what might happen in the future', which merely heightens speculation. If you want to stay, just say so and leave it at that. There's no need to add any provisos or imply that you see your future elsewhere.

[JagSquared]

Le gems was another shite one. Didnt we sign them and then loan the back to le harve for a year. A year of speculation, people claiming they were going to make us rule the world, how superb they were, how superb houllier was for snapping them up and in the end they were just a bit shite.

Le Tallec did actually look at first to be the far more naturally talented but I think he had a bit of a dodgy attitude preventing him from ever getting anywhere.

 

Sinama was a strange one, not as naturally talented but did a far better job for us and did look like he could've done a job for us as a squad player, would've been much more useful than bringing Voronin and the likes in etc and did well at Recreativo but not much seems to have worked for him since either

Yeah, that Warren Feeney was really stringing Bournemouth along at the time. So he was.

[king7]

Dani Alves was really shit, both back then and in hindsight. Wanted to come, but Parry didn't want to pay the last pennies. Clever move.

[Evelyn Tentions]

The whole of last summer, waiting for a striker. And waiting and waiting and getting

 

 

 

Borini

[redfromtubebar]

Damien Duff in 2002. Went on forever.

 

Think we wouldn't go above 12m and Blackburn insisted on 17m. Would have been a great signing at that time.

[rainman]

Seem to remember frank worthington being a bit of a belter.

[Batigol]

Downing to anywhere other then Liverpool. Been waiting since 15/7/11

[WhiskeyJar]

This years Suarez saga is getting a bit old.

 

It has been going since he was banned.
