Speculation Motown's hysterical and annoying, but traditional, totally unfounded Winter 2016/17 rumours thread

[City Fan]

I imagine he'll be off before the window shuts but he's worth at least what we paid for him - but the market's gone mad since so I would expect £11m+

You forgot your decimal point between the 1's.

£7m is a fair offer. Personally I think we should let him go if we get anywhere close to the £8m we paid for him, he didn't get much game time even last season let alone this so can't see the sense in keeping a 30 yr old who is never going to be prolific sitting around on the bench.

SkySports report that CR has told them that Ulloa won't be sold to a premier league rival. I guess by 'rival' that he means Sunderland. How's Ulloa's Turkish?

Apparently the Chinese window doesn't close until the end of February so this madness will continue

Prem players can only move up until the end of their own domestic window though apparently - so if Chinese clubs want European players, they need to hit the same deadlines.

Have any good CBs signed for other clubs we might have wanted to come here?

Fonte went to West Ham. Probably on Payet's wages though.

"gay" That was a typo I hope.

 

[SJN-Fox]

He's retyped it ...

 

[Skitzo]

it was he deleted it and tweeted it again without the typo

 

[Matt_B]

I still doubt it's him tweeting but why should we be obliged to sell him below market value?

 

[Lako42]

What a joke

 

[yackandandah]

It's gotten silly even by silly season standards.

Maybe he was told he could leave for a fee that has been met?

he claims he was told in the summer we wouldn't sign another striker then we spent £28m on Slimani

 

[TommyK]

I'm not sure how he was been treated, but for a guy that was there when needed last season and played his part it's a shame that it's come to this.

Personally think he's a very good player and would be a really shame to lose him.

 

[SwedeFox]

I still doubt it's him tweeting

Why would you doubt that? Do you think his agent stole his phone two days ago and refuses to give it back?

 

[Volpone]

The whole transfer window thing is now a farce and should be scrapped.

All it achieves is to upset players who get denied a move they want and who then refuse to play for their clubs.

Or it restricts the mind games to two times in the year and assures teams aren't held to ransom at all times of the season.
