Speculation Motown's hysterical and annoying, but traditional, totally unfounded Summer 2016 rumours thread

[TornadoShaunUK]

Sounds like a potentially good signing that and not too much of an asking price? So is Mendy a player in the Kante mould?

 

[Mawsley]

He sounds like a make-do kind of player.

 

[SwedeFox]

We were after him last year already.

Should the 22-year-old sign for Leicester they could pull the plug on their interest in Caen star N'Golo Kante, who does a similar job.

The Foxes had offered £6million for tough-tackling midfielder Kante and were competing for his signature with Marseille - despite the departure of manager Nigel Pearson.

But while Ranieri is a fan of the player, Mendy is understood to be seen as a better option by the new gaffer.

Unlike Kanté, it looks like he can actually shoot:

Watch him being linked with Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool etc etc now that this cat is out of the bag...

They quote the same source as the tweet a few posts up.

Apparently interested in Mario Lemina from Juve - although a strange link since he just joined them for £7m from Marseille

Mercury reporting (citing L'equipe) that we're speaking to Kante about a new deal: http://m.leicestermercury.co.uk/Lei...Hopes-N-Golo/story-29371025-detail/story.html

 

[Mawsley]

It's all going tits now

 

[Rock Fox]

arsenal to bid for 30,000 Leicester fans to make some noise at the Emirates?

 

[Graz]

New name - Sevilla winger Konoplyanka linked in £28m deal. Not sure how reliable the source is...

Various reports we have had a bid between £15-20M rejected for Troy Deeney

 

[M17TT C]

Was just about to post the same, think I read £15m on the Mercury website earlier.

Tbh I'd quite like him but not for more than £15m.

Deeney's power & strength combined with Vardy's raw pace would be a frightening combo imo as they both know where the back of the net is too.

Watford want £30M

 

[Lako42]

Move on then, way over the odds

 

[pork pie fox]

Watford want £30M

 

[Brown Nose]

£15m plus Ulloa and everyone's happy.

Having said that, without Deeney, the chances of Watford staying up are close to nil.
