Speculation The hysterical and annoying, but traditional, totally unfounded autumn/winter 2017/18 rumours thread

The unamed player mustnt be in City squad tonight

No, because we didn’t sign him. The deal never happened. Do try to keep up.

The owner’s chopper has just landed at Biggin Hill Airport. Picking up Andros Townsend?

Or a massive Toblerone. Both would be equally as good on the wing for us.

Why, is Andros a pilot?

Why, is Andros a pilot?

Are they going to chuck him down a big chimney like in that Bond film?

King loan to Swansea (practically) confirmed.

King loan to Swansea (practically) confirmed.

I'm Pleased for him that he will still get a chance in the Premier League.

Don’t believe everything you read on the internet...

 

[LeeCovFox]

Pretty gutted about King, even if it is just on loan. It’s just sentiment talking of course. He’s been there for all of it. The lowest low, the highest high. I hope he does brilliantly.

I'm Pleased for him that he will still get a chance in the Premier League.

Me too, both in terms of him personally and also as a Welsh fan.

Really sad to see him go, but can see why. If we were anywhere other than a top ten club with higher ambitions, he’d be here for the rest of his career.

 

[bocadillo]

I thought they were only willing to let him go to a foreign club.

Have you heard them talk up there? It sounds foreign enough for me.

Stringer saying Slimani has failed a medical.

Lots of Twitter talk and dodgy websites reporting this, but I've not seen it reported by anyone I trust.

He cited an Algerian source he referred to only as ‘DZ’, which he claims is quite reputable.

Don't understand letting 3 strikers go and essentially ensuring Mahrez doesn't play for the rest of the season and then not bringing anyone in.
We needed 1 player more in I think...

 

[Jeff]

The window has closed, with the Slimani and King loans not announced. Doesn't mean they haven't happened though.

 

[Brown Nose]

Despite the result, yesterday was a good day. We learned a few things:

1. We kept our best player despite the worlds richest club trying to shake us down
2. We are now the kind of club that can turn down £60m offers for players
3. Our surplus to requirements players are good enough for other Premier League teams
4. We're spending a shit load of cash (circa £80m) on a new training complex

 

[SJN-Fox]

Apparently we turned down bids for Benny too.
