Speculation ThaiSweetChili's annoying, but traditional, totally unfounded Summer15 rumours thread

I assume we will see Sako and N'Kante in the coming days.

Ngolo N'Kante?

N'correct.

 

[Miles Away]

Well, the midfield reinforcements are badly needed so hopefully these go through.

Are you mad? Have you n'o concept what a n'ightmare this place will become?

N'o, I don't think you do.

Another striker?

From SkySports "
Sky sources understand four Premier League clubs have made enquiries about Sporting Lisbon striker Islam Slimani.

West Ham, Newcastle, West Brom and Leicester are understood to be interested in the 27-year old Algeria international, who would cost in the region of £7m.

New Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri is thought to be keen on the player, while David Moyes’ Real Sociedad have also expressed an interest. However, sources close to the forward, who was close to a move to Swansea earlier this summer, say he has a strong desire to play in the Premier League."

How long have we apparently been chasing Islam Slimani for now?! His name seems to come up all the time.

OK you didn't like that one, how about this just in (BBC)?

Leicester City transfer target N'Golo Kante has told a French radio station the appointment of Claudio Ranieri as manager is an "important element" to his decision whether to leave Caen for the Premier League.

Talks have been rumbling on for the past few weeks, with Caen suggesting that Leicester were close to a deal having offered more than Marseille. However, although the trail has gone cold, some kind of conclusion is expected in the near future.

Positive or negative "important element" ? Hopefully he hasn't been reading Homer's postings about Ranieri.

 

[Feriol]

I seem to recall Slimani playing wide?

I think he's already got him on "ignore"

We mentioned earlier (09:09 BST) that Leicester City transfer target N'Golo Kante has been speaking to a French radio station about his future.

Kante currently plays for Caen but is a target for both Leicester and Marseille.

"For now anyway I am in Caen. But we will try to resolve the situation with the club and my agents, and I hope this matter gets sorted," Kante said.

"I am in talks with several clubs, and I will make my choice later - today nothing is decided."

Asked if the arrival of Claudio Ranieri was likely to change his state of mind, Kante replied: "It's already something important that they have a coach now, and a few days ago I didn't know what Leicester was like, as there was no coach. Today, for sure, it's an important factor."

I'm hoping something was lost in translation and he's not that stupid.

I think he's quite clearly saying that he wasn't go to a club without a manager, which quite clearly is not stupid.

From his agent:

What do you think is going to happen next?

I hope that Marcel goes to Leicester. Today, that is his number one wish. Ranieri knows him very well, it is he who gave Marcel his first chance in Ligue 1, he acted like Marcel’s father when he was just starting out. Marcel has kept very good memories from his time with Ranieri and it would be a pleasure to work with him again.

Bloody clown!
