Speculation The hysterical and annoying, but traditional, totally unfounded summer 2018 rumours thread.

[fitz]

I remember lots of people around me at grounds hating him from the very first touch of a ball that wasn't absolutely perfect

Plenty of hate then. He was absolute shit.

 

[homer]

Nobody gave a feck where Williams came from, what total nonsense

He was complete and utter turd from the first kick to the last - that's why no one liked him

 

[fitz]

Pretty sure we used to sing that he was our friend and that he hates forest. Any dislike I heard was due to his obvious lack of talent. If anything we were over supportive to an awful player. We actually got money for selling him though.

 

[homer]

Pretty sure we used to sing that he was our friend and that he hates forest.

Yep, we did

Which we also did with Konchesky, and still do with Morgan

 

[Blue Maniac]

Gareth Williams was shit, but he was also better than all our other players.

Simeone to put a bid in for Jamie Vardy!

Swap for Costa?

 

[Graz]

Having signed Ricardo P already, if we can now get Johnny Evans in as well then it's a very promising start to the summer window.

Still need a left back and potentially a creative number 10 type plus some kind of Mahrez replacement.

Can't see that happening. Can see his current contract being improved however.

 

[Brown Nose]

Can't see that happening. Can see his current contract being improved however.

I hope you're right. However:

1. ITKs on FT have said that he's not happy playing for Puel.

2. He has release clauses in his contract for Champions League sides.

3. Simeone is an acknowledged fan and is losing Torres and probably Griezman this summer.

I hope it's just negotiations over contracts but we are currently vulnerable, especially as he could leave after our transfer window closes and there is nothing we can do about it.

To lose both Mahrez and Vardy this summer would be dreadful. We'd be losing everything that remains that makes us special.

If he’s going to go anywhere, I can see Atlético happening.

 

[SwedeFox]

As much as I would hate losing Vardy and I dearly hope it doesn't happen, if there's one other team in the world where I would really love to see him play it's Atlético under Simeone

 

[fitz]

Yeah, but so was I.

I know what you mean. They seem to be a good match.

I still remember the respect Simeone showed us, after the second leg against Atletico. For all his histrionics, he’s a guy you’d want to be managing your club.

 

[glyn]

Excuse me?

Vardy, 31, is rated at £16million

 

[Jeff]

Excuse me?

That's his value on the transfermarkt website, which is often complete bollocks.

To lose both Mahrez and Vardy this summer would be dreadful. We'd be losing everything that remains that makes us special.

Surely not. I'm certain we'll keep our large proportion of moaning never-be-contents who call themselves fans and surely make us something special in the football world.

Other ITKs have said he’s a big supporter of Puel and was pissed off with teammates not pulling their weight.

No way Atletico get even close to our valuation for Vardy

 

[Polar Bear]

Surely not. I'm certain we'll keep our large proportion of moaning never-be-contents who call themselves fans and surely make us something special in the football world.

I'm pretty sure that makes us reassuringly normal.

If Vardy's unhappy he's been doing a good job of hiding it when he's on the pitch.

 

[Miles Away]

We wouldn’t recover from losing Vardy. He’s getting better every season.
