Speculation The hysterical and annoying, but traditional, totally unfounded winter 2020/21 rumours thread

[homer]

Clearly it's shit or bust scenario if we are this povo.

CL is an absolute must yet to get there we need more than zero strikers

Yeah but once upon a time we had Tommy English playing for us, so we should thank our lucky stars, or summat

As if Liverpool would have even considered loaning us Minamino!?!

Interesting use of "It's going to get worse before it gets better", as though we all love the fact that football has been reduced to a race to spend the most oil money

Be funny if Sky and BT decided they didn't want the TV rights anymore.

Not even Gary Glitter's career imploded as fast as that would.

I’m not quite sure what Minamino has done since his arrival to the Premier League to make everyone think he’d be a good signing.

He has been garbage so far, hence why a goal shy Liverpool let him go.

He hasn't had a chance to be garbage. I'm pretty sure he's no more garbage than Choudhury.

Kane was garbage at a range of clubs before he found some form. De Bruyne was pretty garbage at Chelsea. Things aren't always simple.

Ah come on now.

Your first point is the same argument some had on here about Musa etc - “he wasn’t given enough opportunities”. If he was good enough, he’d have got those opportunities.

I’m really not sure why you’ve brought Choudhury’s name into it. Just because he hasn’t been more garbage than Choudhury doesn’t mean he should be a transfer target.

Your second point at least makes some sense.

I'd imagine they are raking it in more now than ever - everyone stuck inside with not much to spend money on and all games are now on TV.

If anything, this will have driven the price of the TV rights up.

Hopefully if there is any increase next time, it will be enough for us to buy another striker.

I reckon Soyuncu would be mustard up front, and Ricardo. Play em both up top and bang it in the channels.

Yup. Have they kept Origi as a sub? Speaks volumes if so.

Schmeichel is good at jumping - let’s stick him up there as well

Stick Ian Nacho and Perez in defence. They’re great at preventing goals from happening.

Javier Sotomayor? Best chance we’ve got of someone getting on the end of one of Maddison’s corners.

Not quite working out that way here in France. Still, it's an inferior product one might argue.

Bids from Amazon, Discovery and DAZN were deemed unsuitably low and the governing body said it will now decide on a fresh approach for selling its TV rights

French football has plunged further into crisis after an emergency auction of TV rights ended without a suitable offer.
