Speculation The hysterical and annoying, but traditional, totally unfounded autumn/winter 2019/20 rumours thread.

No problem. He will cost you £80million

Man Utd make approach to sign Islam Slimani

Leicester City have set their asking price.

What are they playing at with Gomes? Bizarre he can't get a game in that side.

Also, Chong and Gomes both have contracts expiring in the summer.

definitely players we should be targeting.

we've been linked with a loan for Steven Bergwijn, not sure how reliable the source is though

 

[Miles Away]

Bergwijn looks a player.

Right age and profile. Could definitely see him in this squad.

Why do we need to be targeting Gomes and Chong exactly?

Fair enough, it’s been a bit sparse since Iborra left.

extremely talented young players that are about to be out of contract, through their choice, no brainers for me and from what I've read from people that have seen them play they would fit in well too

Do you think it might be worth buying some players who have actually played first team football seeing as we’ll probably be in the Champions League next season?

you can do both, we need a bigger squad

So we need to sign players to improve the regular starting XI plus go after youngsters presumably as backup after they ran their contracts down for never getting a chance in an awful Man U side? And magic away the squad players we already have, right?

Just trying to get me ‘ead round it.

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

We have the maximum squad size of 25 registered. I think you mean we need a better squad of 25 for next season.
Like letting go of James or Benkovic. Will Fuchs, Albrighton and Morgan no longer be good enough as experienced back-up players. There may only be about 5 or 6 of the current squad that most fans would say are not good enough to stay.

given their ages they wouldn't need to be named in the 25 man squad in order to play, I would also off load both Gray and Albrighton this summer.

I would think the following players would leave Amartey, Slimani, Ghezzal, Silva, Diabate, Jakupovic and probably Mendy, all of whom were named in our 25 man squad in Augus8t only 1 of whom has actually played for us. There are a lot of players that we could move on to make room for better quality

 

[tedfoxxx]

You’ve got to give it to him, he keeps coming up with answers. Lee Congerton had better watch out.

 

[Jeff]

Jakupovic, Amartey, Slimani, Ghezzal, Silva, Diabate, Jakupovic and probably Mendy, all of whom were named in our 25 man squad in August

Ghezzal and Diabate weren't.

 

[camberwell fox]

Did Jakupovic clone himself as part of his contract agreement?

 

[Skitzo]

Ghezzal and Diabate weren't.

Sure I read they were but fair enough, there was still a list of 5 players named in the squad that have played 3 games between them whose spots can be used for other players

I just noticed that but Jeffs forum settings mean I can't correct it

 

[camberwell fox]

Mendy looked good enough to me, if he could get injury free, he could certainly do a decent job for us.
