Speculation The hysterical and annoying, but traditional, totally unfounded spring/summer 2019 rumours thread.

What is Perez then?

An attacking midfielder

Adnan Januzaj mentioned on Twitter. Not seen much of him since he was in the Prem but not sure that's a good move...

He won’t have improved. Wasn’t good enough then, won’t be now.

 

[Miles Away]

Januzaj definitely not my cup of tea.

Attitude stinks too.

Sky say we have a two man shortlist; Tarkowski and Ake.

Burnley apparently willing to do business on Tarkowski but may cost £40m. Ake would likely cost more - but we aren't willing to spend too much

Leicester consider James Tarkowski and Nathan Ake as Harry Maguire replacements

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says he expects Maguire deal to be announced very soon

I think it's clear that Sky Sports just make things up as much as the shit rags these days

This one is from Rob Dorset though rather than Kaveh, so has slightly more credence to it

Leicester have reportedly earmarked Getafe'sTogo international defender Djene Dakonam, 27, as a potential replacement for Manchester United-bound England centre-back Harry Maguire, 26. (Leicester Mercury)

Probably made-up bollocks due to the Celtic connection. But if it happens, he will be the first Norwegian to play for City on a permanent basis. Kjetil Osvold is the only Norwegian that has ever played for City, but he was only on loan from Florist.

Two to three years ago, I'd agree. However, Dorset has been absolutely wrong about an awful lot over the last year or two. His contacts appear to be a lot less reliable.

Sky in general clearly don't have any access to us at the moment. They are laughably behind the story when it comes to Leicester.

The only journalists that reliably do cut through the shit are Tanner (although him leaving the LM may have stopped this), Whitwell, Northcroft, and of course the main man Percy.

Take anything from anyone else as probably made up.

Fair point.

Whitwell and Percy are certainly the ones I trust from most and I'll take anything from them seriously.

SWOOP

 

[Skitzo]

Ajer is really highly rated, apparently being watched by 1 of the Milan clubs, if we can get him for £15m that would be a great deal IMO, also it would annoy Celtic fans, which is always a bonus

SWOOP

A surprise swoop. Swoops tends to be a surprise manoeuvre come to think of it. You don’t really get a slow, methodical swoop.

Is a swoop better than a raid?

 

[Blaarev]

Is a swoop better than a raid?

Raids are better for chasing aces, while swoops works fine for internationals.

 

[tedfoxxx]

Is a swoop better than a raid?

You raid a club of a similar stature whereas you swoop for a lesser team’s players.

need to know who we played in those games for each partnership to be fair
