No transfers today…thankfully there is an exciting conclusion to the cricket 🏏 to watch until no rumours emerge tomorrow and the only news will be about a pop up store opening in blue water
Please do not start the fish puns on this thread. It is a hard enough read already. When I see 15+ new comments I dive in with more expectation than warranted. Transfer activity being kept closer to their chests than a pair of SHEIN nipple covers. Never mind waterproof, absolute rumour spill proof… Fair play but feels like the ball has been removed from the playground atm.
If you're getting hopeful over less than 150 new comments you're out of your mind
I remember reading the rumour on Ceefax when Javier Saviola was briefly linked to joining us. Was it ever a move that was close to happening?
I think we offered Barcelona Osei Sankofa in a straight swap and then the line of communication dried up. To this day I still can’t think why they didn’t return the phone calls. I spent a fortune on the phone to Barca club call.

I remember Kezman being a rumour the time we signed Rommedahl.
Was a rumour it was a done deal and then Roman's Chelski blew us out the water. Given what he went on to do , probably a lucky escape we didn't pay £5m for him

The sad thing is I think Kezman ended up being overwhelmed by the expectations at Chelsea and was behind Gudjohnsen and Drogba from the moment he joined. I think he would have been much better off signing for a smaller team where he played and had time to settle. He'd scored 105 goals in 122 league games for PSV but he never quite got his rhythm back after his confidence died at Chelsea. I honestly think if he'd signed for us his overall career would have been a lot stronger but we'll never know
The others i remember from further back on the infamous Clubcall that fell through right at the death
Ah, yes Club Call.
That cost my employer a lot of money back in the 80s and early 90s
In the early -mid 80's I used to phone the cricket score from work. Used to give you the score & last 3 batsmen out. Played the W.Indies in 1984 and there used to be a different last 3 men whenever I called it !
Did we end up with a picture of one of the top Spanish strikers in a Charlton shirt at one point? Something to do with the Joma link up
Fernando Morientes and Javier Portillo I believe.
This was before Morientes had a disastrous spell at Liverpool.
Portillo was wearing the classic green and purple striped kit too!
Most people on here would have wanted to sign him and forgiven the fact that Michael didn’t know the first thing about football, let alone play it…as soon as they found out he loved his trains!! 🚂🚂🚂🚂

The next 69 days are crucial...🙄

Patience and keep the faith.

I don't even remember that kit.
