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

[FIF]

Amusing, and made me wish that we as fans were a little more like this about the prospect of our best player leaving.

Has he stated that he wants out as Swansea aren't good enough for him anymore?

Still a month before any transfers can take place. Paper talk.

Thought it was next week mate

 

[SJN-Fox]

The summer transfer windows runs from the 1st of July until 31st of August.

Sky says this:

"The 2017 summer transfer window opens on Friday, June 9 for English clubs."

But some transfers have already been announced.

It's for transfers *between* English clubs apparently.

All very confusing!

If we sell Mahrez do we really need to use the money to sign Siggurdson? It seems the wrong priority to me. We got cover for Mahrez last year. I'd rather Gray and Kapustska fight for his place with Lawrence backing them up and we spend the money on defence.

CB,RB,CB,LB,ST - those are my priorities whether Mahrez goes or not.

I would agree with you that we don't need to sign a winger as replacement for Mahrez, however Sigurdsson isn't a winger. Sigurdsson would be more of a cover for Okazaki in the AMC role.

okay, that's not so bad. 5th on my list on needs.

Change in formation is most important to me, then we recruit to suit

What formation should we employ do you think Lako, bar the 'work ****ing harder' one?

We definitely need someone in the central role that can unlock defences in a different way our usual counter attacking style.

Absolutely. One of the top priorities in this transfer window, alongside a central midfielder and a couple of centre backs.

Yep, I agree. I said this a couple of weeks ago, in this thread.

I dont see how we can continue with a 2 man central midfield. We need to have at least a minor threat through there or its just too easy for teams to stop us as we only attack down the wings.

Sigurdson would be a top purchase for us. I would build the team around him.

Can't argue with that.

Can't argue with that.

He is older than Vardy isn't he?

 

[Blaarev]

He is older than Vardy isn't he?

No. He'll be 28 in September.

 

[big_mac4824]

easily has another 5 years left in him

 

[Miles Away]

Be ****ing stunned if we get him. And delighted. Absolute quality.

RM apparently considering 152m for Mbappe, how much do Barcelona need to give us to get Mahrez?

Southampton - the liverpool feeder club bites back - a 4 year transfer ban for the reds would finish them.
