The Crazy Rumour Hibs 11

[ScottB]

Well we have the weekend off so to pass the time I thought this might be a laugh.

Let's assemble a team full of players that were linked to us but never came, ideally the most crazy rumours

Off the top of my head we have the infamous Reyes, Cruyff and this last transfer windows mention of the legend that is Hernan Crespo.

Who else has there been?

[Bayern Bru]

Alan Shearer on a player/coach deal
Robbie Savage.

[LaMotta]

Andy Gray as Player Manager before lexo was appointed, was a rumour doing the rounds

[Springbank]

Bobby Mann (in a swap deal with Whittaker and Riordan going the other way)

Trouble is, that was actually mooted by Blobby Williamson.

Has there ever been a clearer example that the manager of a football club is the key employee who should be the best you can get, and not rotund ex-Huns who think entertainment is best left to the Omni Centre….

Didier Deschamps, was he not on his way to help Frank.....

[CB_NO3]

David Ginola rumour was kicking about years ago. Am pretty sure it even made teletext haha.

I was gonna put him, but I was under the impression it was actually true!

[Cocaine&Caviar]

Adam Rooney on a pre-contract.

[E10 Rifle]

Ally McCoist (he chose Kilmarnock)
David Platt (Alex Miller tried to get him)
Jorg Albertz (not enough dosh)
Jackie McNamara (more times than you could shake a stick at)
Keith Houchen...oh no wait, that one unfortunately did happen
Alan Smith

[LaMotta]

John Robertson , when we were in the first division.

[Phil D. Rolls]

And every time he was negotiating a new contract. I think we actually made a bid for him around 1989.

[sunshine1875]

Riordan would swap Celtic and return to Hibs.

So daft, someone was prepared to sit in a bath full of beans

Oh wait...........

[Peevemor]

Garry O'Connor and Ivan Sproule - every transfer window.

Im sure my brother told me that was true as he was reading his autobiography and theres a bit in it about it.

Annti Niemi as keeper/coach.
Albertz even seen in the queue at the old east turnstiles.

[The_Todd]

I seem to remember quite a while ago that someone on here said that Zidane was coming out of retirement to do a stint with hibs after a conversation with Sauzee... and they were genuinely serious

[Keith_M]

Apparently, we're regularly going to sign someone called Matty Jack Roll.


Whoever he may be

I may be wrong, but I thought that Andy Gray wrote in his autobiography that he did apply for the job.

Ronnie Rosenthal

Don't think this is crazy enough. He actually got a trial for Hibs - I saw him play in it (at Jordanhill College as it then was). He scored v Rangers.

David Trezeguey

Yeah I always thought that one was pretty much fact, just like us missing out to Aston Villa on David Platt.

Did Alex McLeish not have to deny that we were after Gianluigi Lentini back in the early days of the SPL, about 8 years after he was the most expensive player in the world?
