Don't think this has been before but I am prepared to sink myself if so...
What rumours have we heard that we thought may happen etc?
The two classics I remember are, Ronaldo to come from Inter Milan on his way back from an injury and Javier Portillo from Real Madrird to join on loan.
Who else?

Was that not Javier Saviola?0

Stanley Matthews0

We were linked with the gorgeous Gabriel 'Batigol' Batistuta at one point. I'd have moved back to Charlton in that case ;-)0
-
Nope, definately Portillo from what I remember.0
-
Pires and Wiltord0
-
Bergkamp0
-
Funny, not many defenders!0
-
It was Portillo. I'm sure I saw a serious article in an old Voice of The Valley that said we'd had a close look at Oliver Bierhoff.0

Continuing the arsenal theme, Marc Overmars0

When was this?![cite]Posted By: nth london addick[/cite]Pires and Wiltord0 - Sponsored links:

Wes Brown and Smmi Hypia were strongly linked under curbs0
-
Van Nistelroy - he's a fan after all ;-)0

That's actually true, because he scored a hattrick against us in the Anglo Italian. He was available, but I think we gave Kim Grant another contract instead ...0 -
Luca Toni after the Steve Brown testimonial match, wasn't it?0
-
Mathieu Flamini as well of course.0

Ages ago WSS
when they were both on the verge of leaving Arsenal i picked up the news of the screws and in the confidential bit
Charlton are looking to swoop for Pires and Wiltord laughed all the way to the boozer that afternoon0 -
I think we were linked with Darren Purse once or twice.0
-
Tim Cahill
Teddy Sheringham0 -
I remember hearing about Wiltord but not Pires
I wanted to sign Wiltord so we could sing
You're Sylvan

Those two Hibs players, Scott Brown and the other one. Think it was while Les Reed was in charge and someone from the board announced that we were interested.0

I think the story is.....he was offered to us after an anglo-italian cup game and we turned him down. I might be wrong but I'm sure AC said he wasn't what we were looking for.
Others that spring to mind:
Mathieu Flameni - when he left Marseille
Pauletta - same time Costa was here, think he went to PSG instead0 -
jeremy goss0
-
James beattie0
-
alex, the left sided brazilian japanese bloke..0
-
The Croatian or Serbian centre forward who went to Chelsea instead - Ketman or something like that ;-)
Good thread, WSS...!0 -
Kanu was a dead cert in the Sun before he joined WBA.
Robert Green was linked MANY times but Charlton could never agree a fee of around 3m I think it was
Steve Sidwell - missed out bigtime (he was the replacement for parker)
who remembers Van Bommel - sky sports news even had a story on it??0 -
