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

[londonfox]

If we sell/loan slimani or gray we definitely need to bring another striker/wide forward in if we want to approach the second half of the season and knockouts of the Europe league with confidence.

If we sell two players who weren’t involved in the first team squad, we need to replace them. Why?

but they are, they are in the 25 man squad and Slimani has played once

 

[Payne74]

We could always replace them with a couple of wheelie bins

 

[sparky79]

If you take them out of the 25 then we are thin for alternative senior forwards in the 25 and at some point in the match squad.

 

[Lako42]

FFS we need replacements who can actually play football. It's not hard to see we are thin in the areas they play in

 

[Miles Away]

More importantly and far more difficult to replace will be Wes and Fuchs.

 

[Skitzo]

we could already have those replacements in house to be fair, depends how Thomas develops and if Amartey/Benkovic stay fit and perform when picked or if Josh Knight keeps developing well

So he could be available for £28m in January, but he’s out of contract in the summer

Nah, I'd pass.

The Leicester Mercury are running a story about Jesse Lingard to us based on nothing more than Trevor Sinclair saying the following:
“There’s a club where I feel he would suit the manager’s ethos,” he said.

“Leicester City; I think he could fit into Brendan Rodgers’ style of play, getting in between the lines, he’s got great energy and, technically, he’s very good.”

The major issue with this, aside from the obvious, is that I was listening to Sinclair as this comment was made whilst he was commentating on Talksport and he was actually talking about Dele Alli. So well done Leicester Mercury. You shitrag.

Bosman?

 

[pork pie fox]

Bosman?

That’s my point, yes.

 

[FOX Franks]

That’s my point, yes.

Didn’t read the article wasn’t sure of his age. Is he the fella who played for Newcastle? Wasn’t he.. um.. shit?

Age not relevant, he plays for Marseille

Yes. The article links us, but I can’t see it. It amused me though, that Marseille were saying they might consider selling him for that figure, given he’ll be available on a Bosman in the summer.

Wow. What a paper.

Used to love the mercury. 27p from the newsagent. Getting excited about about what might be on the back page. Then it went online and became click bait.

To be fair, it was shite then too

To be fair, I was young and didn't know better

Inter have all but announced they will sell Christian Eriksen, I think he'd be an improvement over Maddison but wouldn't be a priority either
