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

Realistically, if we had signed Shaqiri, how long would it have taken for (some) fans to start calling him lazy and have a go at him for not tracking back or being too greedy? You know, the same twats who blamed Mahrez for everything post our league win.

Any Persian prince deserves a YouTube video:

21 goals in 34 games last season? Not too shabby

Looking at that video, I think I could get at least 10 goals...

What a weird compilation of clips. I got half way and pretty much all of it seemed like awful defending and even worse goalkeeping - or missed shots!

 

[City Fan]

Not a bad price but whenever, wherever I've seen him play he's either been great or barely noticeable. Could be the team he plays for or it could be he's just suited to certain types of games.

I saw it. Nice work.

That must be a good sign. Brilliant Persian Prince on YouTube have we tried before. Maybe a crap one will work better?

I’m sick of the words “Mahrez replacement”.
In terms of assists and goal stats he’s irreplaceable for the money we spend. Certainly Patrick Roberts isn’t a Mahrez replacement

Yep, I seen it, too.

Never to be confused with mountains.

His moobs are too small for that

Rumours in Spain that both us and West Ham have made offers for Barcelona's Colombian defender, Yerry Mina.

Why aren't Everton interested? It's always us wham and Everton. He might actually be good?

Why aren't Everton interested?

They are. Obviously.

Thank **** for that. I was starting to worry.

I was impressed with him at the WC. Looked a decent player.

Same. Apparently he has "blistering pace" but he seems relatively slow - hopefully not another Knockaert-esque player as more often than not pace is important in the PL

 

[ThaiSweetChilli]

Yerry Mina was great at the World Cup.

At 1.95m he's even bigger than Maguire!

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

Good in the air too. Would be a decent buy I'd have thought. Might make us a real threat from set pieces again with him, Maguire and Maddison.

 

[dpjfox]

If this is true we need to step up the interest before the "bigger clubs"pounce We were previously linked with him prior to him going Barca, would be awesome signing

 

[Volpone]

I don't rate either West ham or Everton bigger than us.

We better have something up our sleeves. Season starts in three weeks and the squad is, on paper, worse than it was at the end of last season.

Really? I think we have made a very good signing in Evans (better than Dragovic). I also think Maddison could be a revelation. As for Pereira, surely he will be an upgrade on Simpson?
