Speculation Motown's hysterical and annoying, but traditional, totally unfounded Summer 2017 rumours thread

[TommyK]

Welcome to the FIF and pop show.

It's getting quite tiresome to be honest.

Wague?

He wasn't a serious signing, he must have made someone a few Bob or been a favour to gain popularity.

F'king

For the record, I agree with you, but I am a cantankerous old bastard who just can't let the little things go!

I'd prefer him to stay but if Kasper does leave and goes to Man City and we get Joe Hart, that's a very good deal.

Hopefully we get cash too being as it's in their interest and not ours.

I think Joe Hart is massively overrated. He's been bang average for Torino. I'd much rather someone like Heaton or Forster.

They wouldn't join us.

so the England number 1 will but not the number 3 or 4?

Hart will see EPL as a step in the right direction. The other young keepers won't see Leicester as a step up IMO.

I'd take them but I don't see them wanting to come.

 

[Skitzo]

Heaton won't see us as a step up from Burnley? come off it

One lower mid table struggler to another. I think he'll be hoping for a step up, not sideways.

 

[TommyK]

Depends what he wants. We're a far 'bigger' club than Burnley, could offer him a very decent wage and have more potential of winning something with us than Burnley. Without the pressure of being first choice at a top 6 club.

He's been given so much praise this season and linked with big moves. Unfortunately we're back to being a relegation fighting team and will lose some of our few star players. Realistically I just can't see it.

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

Why will we lose our star players?

Schmeichel did not leave last year when he could have. He is on a huge long contract. Who would offer enough money? And he seems very happy here as occasional Captain.

Mahrez is talented but very inconsistent. Would he start at Real Madrid or Barcelona or be a bench warmer? Would they pay him any more than here?

Same for Vardy. Who would pay his wages and accommodate his style?

It's not all about money you know. Some of those players you mentioned may have ambitions of playing Champions League football.

The main rumours around Kasper last summer were for Everton. He's now being linked with Manure. We had champions league football this season too.

Mahrez - long gone

Vardy - I think we could keep him. He's obviously happier now Claudio has gone and I can't imagine the same level of clubs will be after him this summer.

you missed out a few words there

You think Schmeichel would be sitting on the bench at Man City or Liverpool?

I agree. I think Vardy will stay because he just fits really well with our system and style of play, and I doubt he'd want to chance being a bench warmer at his age.

Mahrez and Schmeichel are both gone IMO.
