Speculation The hysterical and annoying, but traditional, totally unfounded summer 2018 rumours thread.

[Blue Maniac]

The Brazilian Marlon from Barca is our next deal as it's rumoured they will hijack the deal with the French team where he's been on loan.
Now some may say that's not very Nice.

Who's the 'they' in this first sentence?

Remember when Brazilian footballers had nicknames like Bebeto, Ronaldinho, Garrincha, Rivelino etc?

Now they’re all called Fred and Marlon and Douglas.

What’s that all about eh?

Ah, the Peter Kay standard. What a ****-awful comedian.

Apparently Maddison is a done deal. £22 million.

Only it isn't. This thread is for rumours, not fake news.

Nice. I think they missed a trick there though, they could have had him repeatedly say the name of a food in an incredulous and disdainful voice. You know, his other joke.

He said pissflaps too. Pissflaps is pretty much my catchphrase in every workplace I've had.

Lazio winger Felipe Anderson.

Lazio winger Felipe Anderson.

Linked with West Ham a couple of days ago

 

[dpjfox]

Anderson is the type of quality player we should be chasing to replace Mahrez

 

[tedfoxxx]

Signing an ageing Cambiasso was one thing, Felipe Anderson is entering his prime and would certainly be the biggest and most ambitious signing the club has made.

"After being dubbed the Turkish Messi, there are now reports referring to him as the Turkish Salah, which gives an idea of the hype.

The youngster scored 3 goals and provided 6 assists during his debut season in the Turkish top flight."

Not exactly Messi/Salah numbers, there.

The general rule of thumb these days is that any young player who can vaguely kick a ball in the direction they intended is dubbed the 'new Messi'.

 

[The Old Fox]

Sounds like he's 80% of Messi: he's just missing that final 'i'...

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

Yeah maybe one to avoid there. Felipe Anderson showing good figures and in a high standard league. To be fair though, Riyad Mahrez didn't exactly shine for Le Havre in the French second tier.. 6 goals in 60 apps in 3 years.... sometimes it can be about taking a gamble on the potential. Although there's a big difference between £400k and £20m.

 

[SJN-Fox]

West Ham have reportedly had a €38m bid for Felipe Anderson turned down.

 

[pork pie fox]

Leicester are in pole position to sign Norwich midfielder James Maddison.

The Foxes are leading the chase for the 21-year-old and pushing hard to complete a deal, Press Association Sport understands.

Yesterday Sky had Everton as favourites to sign Maddison.
Perhaps we have offered him a square garden as an inducement
