Players we are perennially linked with

[Redlyn]

So there are some players we seem(ed) to be linked with every year without ever actually signing them. In most cases they were never even close to joining. Some of these are absolute classics spawning huge transfer threads every year. Any others you can think of?

Ronaldo coming back home never ending saga to this day
Sneijder
Gaitan
Bale
Vidal
Strootman
Greizmann

 

[Gopher Brown]

Not sure we’re linked with any of those lads any more.

The new ones will be Sancho, Kane, Varane, Badiashile, Pau Torres

Ronaldo only from that list. I was looking players we are linked with for a long time without actually signing. Like at least 2 summers, while your list has fairly new names. Maybe Kane.

Ezequiel Garay

 

[Ole'sattheWheel]

Funnily enough I remember we were always linked with Cavani and it seemed like one of those that would never happen

 

[2 man midfield]

Swear this same thread keeps popping up. Very meta.

 

[OL29]

Mirko Vucinic back when he played for Roma.

 

[Offside]

Ronaldo is the biggest by far.

 

[WeePat]

Hulk is one of the OG's for Chelsea.

 

[Hoof the ball]

Ronaldo is the biggest by far.

Nah. Gaitan is the one that got away.

Look out for "threads that always seem to get posted"

 

[Robertd0803]

Savic keeps being linked every so often for no reason at all.

Garay and Gaitan who could ever forget them.

 

[The Cat]

Dyballa and Milinković-Savić

 

[tenpoless]

Sancho

 

[GuyfromAustria]

Sergio Ramos

 

[RoyH1]

Varane

Ronaldo is seemingly always just around the corner. It's really just a formality at this stage. The contract has been signed behind the scenes. The only reason he's not announced it publicly is because he's busy doing his Patrick Bateman morning routine.

 

[Number32]

Otamendi before he joined City.

The new one could be Ole's fellow Norwegian: Haaland, Berge, Odegaard.

 

[Bondi77]

Who cares who we are linked with if they never come to our club?

Who cares who we are linked with if they never come to our club?

Reminds me of that famous Samuel Beckett play: 'Waiting for Godin'.

 

[UNITED ACADEMY]

Ronaldo and Milinković-Savić are basically per year.
