Speculation The hysterical and annoying, but traditional, totally unfounded autumn/winter 2019/20 rumours thread.

Another 2 goals for Morelos in Europa he does look like someone that would suit us, if we got him and sent Nacho the other way on loan that would be great business

**** that, send him permanently

 

[camberwell fox]

**** that, send him permanently

**** that too, if he was a horse you’d shoot him

 

[SilverFox]

I'd be surprised if we aren't looking at Jarrod Bowen at Hull. He looks a lot like a Leicester player in waiting. Makes things happen himself, decent pace and finishing and gets a goal every 2 games......

Jim Bowen would be better than Nacho

Well, some thinks he is a donkey. Do they shoot donkeys?

Stalker.

 

[H T B]

James Rodriguez ? 40M EUR

Same as Everton paid for Iwobi
(Actually a bit less!!!)

 

[Miles Away]

James Rodriguez ? 40M EUR

A ludicrous suggestion.

I’d piss myself laughing if it happened.

 

[Skitzo]

**** that, send him permanently

Rangers couldn't afford his wages

A ludicrous suggestion.

I’d piss myself laughing if it happened.

the story I saw said it would be next summer after qualifying for the Champions League

Chelsea make Chilwell their No 1 target to solve Lampard’s dilemma at left-back

I thought the much-vaunted The Athletic was supposed to be about good journalism and fact? Not this speculative non-story tripe...

 

[Skitzo]

it is usually but you can't stop fan boy journalist writing tripe I suppose

Hopefully the Maguire deal will put a few off coming calling, I actually see transfer fees dying out as teams simply don't need the money, eventually you will see swap deals as common place

 

[TommyK]

Other than Robertson he must be the best left back in the league. English, current international, young, 'young' hair cut. Must be worth 100 mil of anyone's money.

Yep, the brave new world of football reporting coming up with a load of completely made up bollocks that wouldn't look out of place on the Leicester Mercury website

Quality stuff

 

[Payne74]

Unless Chelski offer Chilwell an obscene amount of money why would he leave ?

From The Athletic:

Soyuncu and Maddison in contract talks
It’s said that good news comes in threes and after their negotiations with Brendan Rodgers bore fruit, Leicester can now focus on achieving a similar outcome with a couple of key players.
James Maddison continues to shine following his £20 million move from Norwich in June 2018, and although he is already tied down until the summer of 2023, conversations are continuing over an improved contract for the midfielder and there is optimism that an agreement will be reached.
Maddison was influential in Sunday’s 4-1 win against Aston Villa, setting up goals for Kelechi Iheanacho and Jamie Vardy either side of half-time.
Manchester United are among the admirers of Maddison and after his progress was rewarded with a first England cap last month, the 23-year-old’s stock will only have risen. Given there are three and a half years left on his current deal, Maddison and Leicester have security and are relaxed about the situation — but the anticipation is he will extend his stay.
The Athletic understands the same is true of centre-back Caglar Soyuncu, who has been one of the Premier League’s shining lights this season and is a reported target of Manchester City.
Like Maddison, Turkey international Soyuncu is 23 and arrived in the summer of 2018 on a five-year contract (for £19 million). He has played every minute of Leicester’s 16 top-flight fixtures this season, during which they have climbed to second place and conceded only ten goals.
Leicester are positive about this situation, too, and if the deals can be closed it will maintain the club’s impressive track record around contract management and being able to negotiate from a position of strength if and when other clubs come in for their top stars.

Excellent little interview with BR...

 

[Skitzo]

more one for the summer, especially is Soton get relegated but Danny Ings would be a good player to get, can do a lot of the stuff Vardy does, though not to the same level, now he's over his injury problems he's back to scoring again too
