ryanncfc 0 Posted July 26, 2013 Ipswich had Gazza on trial but said he was ''too fat'''' to sign, and Bobby Robson brought Ruud Gullit over for a trial, but he opted to sign for Feyenoord. Thank God for that, hey?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
It's Character Forming 1,160 Posted July 26, 2013 Think the Dean Windass saga for us is the big story of a player we were linked with but never joined us. I heard we put in a low bid and after protracted haggling they came down and eventually said they''d accept a price we had offered at an earlier stage in the deal, but then we cut our offer even further . No surprise that it never happened in the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CDMullins 436 Posted July 26, 2013 As anyone seen the news Re-Falcao, apparently he is 2 years older than he says. And shouldn''t have played in the 2 tournaments (U''20 and 21) I believe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
