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

He'll be an excellent Championship player

Good bit of business for Villa - Alan Hutton FFS

Yep. Bit like Nuge for Boro, a good deal all round.

 

[londonfox]

Let him leave. I don't see the logic in offering him a new deal.

Except Nuge to Boro always looked a good opportunity to the player, poor Reggie will be in league one soon I reckon.

De Laet is pretty average...but compared to Hutton he's Cafu.

Who is Cafu compared to Hutton then?

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

He's just told you..

Mercury now reporting the Paredes news, and sources in Italy suggest it's moving along with us discussing personal terms. http://m.leicestermercury.co.uk/tra...nt-for-kante/story-29609471-detail/story.html

Compared to Hutton, Alan Maybuy is Cafu.

I know it was only Villa and it's only the Jocks but has a worse player than Hutton ever held down a regular Premier League/old Division 1 and international starting place.

 

[Profondo Rosso]

De Laet was a very good player for is in the Championship and his performance vs ManUtd in the 5-3 was probably one of the best individual performances I've ever seen by a City player.

Think some of you guys are being incredibly harsh on him. He's a very, very good player at that level.

I'll always remember him well and be thankful of what he did for the club.

Obviously

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

Ranieri does not value Schlupp enough to want him to stay?

 

[Cate Fox]

Ranieri does not value Schlupp enough to want him to stay?

Obviously not...

 

[City Fan]

Ranieri does not value Schlupp enough to want him to stay?

Clearly not. We've already signed his replacement.

 

[Jeff]

Ranieri does not value Schlupp enough to want him to stay?

He's said on a number of occasions that any player who wants to leave can go, because he doesn't want unhappy players. So he's not said anything new here.

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

Schlupp is decent and pretty versatile but his final ball is often suspect. Personally I would agree with Ranieri on this one, I think he's hit his peak ability wise. We've got cover left back wise in Chilwell. Left mid cover for Albrighton might be more of a concern unless Kapustka can play there? Though I think Kapustka is better suited to a more central role.

I thought Kapustka is more of a winger? And we have Gray.

I can certainly see Schlupp going for that reason - he was back-up left back and left mid last season, and with Chilwell, Gray and Kapustka now deputising in those posititons (and Musa potentially) then he's not going to get so many games.

I'd like to see Schlupp stay for another year as I think he's a useful player - pace, power, versatile just lacks end product/composure. But I don't begrudge him if he moves on because he sees his first team chances being limited.

If we let Schlupp go, the club must be confident of Mahrez staying.

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

So what would a decent value be for him, £15million?

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

Yeah I'd forgotten about Gray. So we have good cover for both of Schlupp's positions. £11m? I'd sell up...... it's a decent offer. We used Kapustka on the left vs Barcelona and he often seems to be out wide in many of the video snippets you see of him. We do seem to be well covered for both left back and left mid therefore if Schlupp moves on.
