Most ludicrous transfer coups?

[Strontium]

I've just managed to sign a 31-year-old Guti on a free from Real Madrid for my League One Notts County side 8)

 

What other patently ridiculous signings have you people managed to pull off?

[DT]

I don't know, I haven't yet managed Everton....

[Stu Monty]

I managed to get Denilson to sign for me when I was in charge of Hull in the Championship. He was in his prime too.

[dave u]

I was quite pleased to get David Raven to sign for me at Chester when we'd finished third bottom of league two. Not exactly Guti, but I was happy and thought it was a bit of a coup, especially as he turned down better clubs to sign for me.

[Kurt]

I`ve just signed Demetrio Albertini for St. Mirren, but then again he is 34 and have been out of club for a year when he signed.

[Strontium]

Actually, this is a bit of a coup for £20,000... check out this kid's stats!

 

 

Not a real player, by the way, I'm a few seasons in and this is a new one 8)

I hope rashid doesnt wander in on this by mistake, he'll go :wallbutt: :wallbutt: :wallbutt: :wallbutt: if he thinks Notts County have signed Guti on a free. ... "SACK PARRY, why werent Liverpool interested?" :D

Well, he does want first team football Dave ;)

Spurs gave me 5 million to loan finnan for six months. Fc Brugge gave me ten million to loan barragan for 1 season. Easy money. Chelski offered me 57m for alonso but I turned it down and idrizaj for 21 milion

[JangoSolo]

I got the De Boer twins to sign for Yeovil Town, since then we have made it to the prem and Ronald is now my asst manager, Frank at 38 is still playing and has been the player of the year for the last 2 seasons!!

 

Meanwhile I also signed the mighty Litmanen and Macca when I was in League one (macca was sh*te though) also signed Raven and he is now my club captain

[Skidfingers McGonical]

I got Cafu, Albertini, Mostovoi, Frank De Boer and Taribo West for Rushden and Diamonds after finishing 10th in Div 2 and close to getting the sack in my first season. These guys help me gain promotion and all of them are now on my coaching staff. I feel that all five where magnificent coups IMO.

ive signed the de boer twins, djorkaef, brian dean and mad Erik for Bristol city. Currently top and Erik is top goal scorer with 5 goals and 5 assists from 5 games.

[LEF]

I bought ashley cole for 10 million and then 3 years later i sold him to ac millan for 57 million. id say thats a coup and then some.

[GeoffM]

having a front three of Denilson, Aimar and Mellor when i was in the championship with Reading always made me chuckle, especially as i had Rooney on the bench!!

 

Currently running riot in league 1 with Grimsby with four ex reds, Macca, Litmanen, Hutchison and Raven.

 

Gotta love buying up any ex red you can when in the lower leagues!!

[Beni]

In the 98 game, I swapped Oyvind Leonarsdson (sp? sure there is a h in there somewhere) for Buffon, Cannavaro AND cash. No wonder Parma ended up in financial straights.

 

Must be my stand out moment of playing that game.

[John101]

since we are going back i remember i sold Nesta for over 100 million,sad to think i was actually chuffed for days after that
