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

Hope they’re paying him a lot for his brilliant journalistic insights

To be honest, I subscribe for the NFL coverage, so I don’t always notice how much he puts out there on us.

he does some good articles, not always on the current side some good interviews with past players

I’ve read a couple of them. What I’ve read was “ok”. Does he work exclusively for them now?

He doesn’t (from what I’ve seen) seem to do that much then. Cushy number.

He relies on his contacts for good interviews really, which are generally well put together to be fair. He doesn't offer much insight, analysis or inside info though. "Okay" is about right, his writing style is generally quite staid, not offering much opinion either way. I think his colleague at the Merc would have been a better acquisition (Someone Sharpe?).

he has a lot more freedom to choose his articles outside or press conference and match coverage and because of how the site is funded doesn't need to post a bunch of click bait articles everyday

no idea about how reliable this site is but saw this

https://www.fanatik.com.tr/hakan-calhanoglu-30-milyon-euro-2059282



Fanatik report Premier League sides West Ham and Leicester City are interested in signing AC Milan midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu.



The Turkish newspaper says the 25 year old is also open to continuing his career in the Premier League and could leave the Serie A side at the end of the season.

It’s claimed AC Milan value Calhanoglu in the region of €30m and they will evaluate offers for the Turkish attacking midfielder this summer.

Calhanoglu has been a key player under Gennaro Gattuso in Milan but he could still leave the Serie A giants.

According to Fanatik, West Ham and Leicester City could make an offer to sign 25-year old, who is under contract until June 2021.

Both West Ham and Leicester will be looking to add to their squads for next season and it seems the player is an option.

The Turkey international has played 39 games for AC Milan this season in all competitions, scoring two goals.

Yeah, we're right in there, battling with West Ham...

 

[fitz]

Need Everton to be linked before i believe it. It's usually us 3 with them getting the turds.

Morelos gets another red card in the last minute of the old firm derby, allegedly for a dive, but in the name of G*d that haircut must have had something to do with it...

I really do not see the attraction with this guy. Gerrard is quoted as saying they wouldn’t part with him for 50 million, why would anyone offer even half that?

Apart from his stinking childish attitude, he ****ed up at least seven or eight excellent attacking positions in that game by basically being totally shit

Poor man’s Demarai Gray

My sentiments exactly. I've seen him play numerous times and he's a nuisance but nothing special at all. If we spent upwards of £25m on him I have a feeling Rangers would be laughing all the way to the bank.

 

[Skitzo]

My interest in him was he is still young and relatively cheap but £20m would be the absolute maximum I would want us to pay for him, Nacho seems to be finding his feet under Rodgers and providing able back up to Vardy so spend big on a goal scoring wide player such as Zaha, not someone like Bowen, someone ready to go and proven in the premier league

 

[H T B]

If we are looking for a player, to play on the left, scores goals and grafts bloody well, take a look at the Arsenal number 14.
Or even Martial at Man U
Come on, let’s go toe to toe with the big guns

 

[Lako42]

I'd be looking at Anderson from WHU

Be lovely to take their best player
