Speculation Motown's annoying, but traditional, totally unfounded Winter 15/16 rumours thread

CR is in Italy spending some time with his family.

Apparently we've offered Eder a three year deal on €2.2 million a year plus bonuses.

Thirty grand a week, hardly smashes our wage structure

Seems fair enough

He won't be on a huge amount at Sampdoria and may well like the chance to play in the Premier.

Another attacker in the later stages of their career surprises me.

I guess it's about what's available in January; anybody with young talented strikers will be desperate to keep hold of them for the rest of the season, unless it's a player on the fringes at a bigger club.

I'm surprised Sampdoria are willing to sell. They're in a dreadful position. Fortunately for them the bottom three in Serie A are much worse than any of the sides above them.

Allegedly.............might be a smokescreen.................

You have a point, he doesn't fit our current profile, younger players are us. As RS says this rumour and the reason for his visit could be a smokescreen.

30 year old Brazilian forwards usually aren't too far from retirement, and they do tend to pack on the pounds.

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

Sounds like a potentially good buy but 13m Euro? What's that £9-10m... for a 29 year old. Seems a little steep but maybe better to add experience over youth at this stage in the season if you are looking to players who could potentially make a difference in the run in.

He is the same age as Vardy. He may being looked at as backup to help secure the Title this year only. There will probably be younger strikers for the future in the pipeline.

If he is good enough, he is young enough!

If we are about youth, why are we still playing old man Vardy? I thought peak years for strikers was 27 - 32?

Youth? Schmeichel 29, Schwarzer 43, Huth 31, Morgan 32, Wasilewski 35, Fuchs 29, Simpson 29, Inler 31, King 27, Albrighton 26, Dyer 28, Ulloa 29, Okazaki 29, Vardy 29, Drinkwater 25, Kante 24, Mahrez 24

The combined ages of our match day squad is 500, average age 29.4. The two babies at 24 are Mahrez and Kante.

Where did you get the idea that our Title winning squad has anything to do with youth?

Not disappointed. I thought he was dreadful when he came on yesterday. One of the most disinterested, talentless performances I've seen for a long while.

Probably because we're at the top end of the table. Imagine he'll end up at Villa or suchlike.

Good 'cause he's ****ing pants.

Must take a strain on a relationship when one is in London and the other in South Africa.

 

[Miles Away]

I think he's quite good but not exactly what we are looking to replace.

I always liked Dwight Gayle me..
