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

Love it when football clubs plot a raid on an ace.

Although in the case of Amartey it’s more ‘player who isn’t good enough for one club might end up at an inferior club in a deal that will suit all parties’.

According to the daily mail headlines above Adam Webster is also an ace. Perhaps we should get him in instead of Dunk.

You're not gonna get a job on Sky Sports News with that sort of lackadaisical hyperbole.

Smoke me a kipper. I’ll be back for breakfast.

Yeah I bumped into Sean Bean in Loughborough this morning and he said the same.


He also reckons we’re in for retired Dutch midfielder Aron Winter.

LOL

Sky Sources saying that they are in fact planning a shock swoop for me before the transfer window slams shut.

That's better. Now go and buy a yellow tie.

Exclusive: Manchester United complete Harry Maguire transfer from Leicester for £85m

The long-running Harry Maguire transfer saga finally came to an end on Friday morning when Leicester City accepted an £85 million offer from Manchester United that makes the England international the most expensive defender in history.

Who is Virgil Van Dirk?

 

[BlueNotes]

Is this then when I say arse? Or do I have to wait until it's an officially released statement from the club?

You’ll always be a ‘starlet’ to me mate.

I’ve issued a ‘come and get me plea’ FYI.

 

[Micky]

85 million is ridiculous and far too much for him. We best get 2 brilliant signings in now.

No. You can say it now and then quote it later when it’s official.

 

[Skitzo]

go heavy on a top class winger, do not buy a CB from the prem, market is crazy

 

[City Fan]

Tielemans + Pérez + Justin = less than one Harry Maguire.

 

[Skitzo]

if Everton are the current favourites to buy Zaha we should get in on that, he could even stay living in London which is apparently important to him

 

[Graz]

Will be gutted to see Maguire go but £85m is an insane amount of money - and I'm proud that we're getting a world record fee. Who would've thought that a few years ago?!

Another masterstroke from our owners and the team behind the scenes.

But let's get the outlined replacement and additions in ASAP. No ****ing about.

 

[Jenks]

With this having been rumoured for several weeks now, is it likely that Rodgers has a plan of action in place? Replacements on the cards? His own move to us was so swift there must have been negotiations in place way before anything was signed. It's not like this is going to be a surprise in any way.
