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

[Graz]

Shaqiri apparently has a £12m release clause. I'd be on that too. Although apparently Liverpool are interested. But we'd offer more first team football.

Shinji on the move? hope not he is a useful player

Is this just a random comment or is there an actual story to it?

Based on this report from a Mexican newspaper.

Good as done, then........

I wouldn't be bothered if Shinji left, hard worker but for he either starts or isn't involved as he doesn't offer enough as a bench player and starting him means going back in style and we need to evolve, so let him leave and find first team football

 

[City Fan]

He’s been great for us, but I wouldn’t be too disappointed. Mainly because as I’ve said before, we’re going to need a creative number 10 as opposed to a workhorse, to help spread Mahrez’s contribution.

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

We really missed him whenever he didn't play under Shakespeare and Ranieri but not so much under Puel, maybe he just doesn't fit his intended style for us, and/or we've just become used to him not playing anymore. Okazaki is well known for his workrate off the ball and that's his only real strength - if we intend to become a possession based side then that's a player who doesn't really fit the style.

Evans is a brilliant signing. And for £3.5m is literally unheard of. We paid £5m for Matt Mills 7 years ago!!! In fact we paid £5m for Ade Akinbadbuy 18 years ago.

Maguire
Evans
Morgan
Benny

We need another quality CB. I say sign Dragovic permanently. And then see if Hughes is ready to be pushed into the squad.

I really hope we sign somebody with flair and tonnes of skill. We need someone with that special finesse. Anyone know much about this Turkish wonderkid?

 

[Jeff]

I'm sure £3.5 million won't be all we'll pay to get Evans. He (and his agent) will get a large signing on fee, probably several million.

but the likely total cost will still work out to be cheaper than almost any defender of his stature and ability

£3.5 m in 2 instalments.
Chuffing brilliant

If Shinji goes I will be genuinely gutted.

Shinji and Mahrez in one summer would be difficult. My two favorites.

Still, there's always Grealish and Rondon to look forward to

Yes. And Big Wes.

Shit summer.

Grealish going to spurs. Won't miss okazaki. Spends too much time on his arse.

 

[Miles Away]

Spurs the perfect place for him. He is the footballing embodiment of Spurs.

It isn’t. I heard about it yesterday.

 

[londonfox]

By all accounts Greish was really good for Villa last season. I’d be pleased with the signing. It’s probably not fair to judge him on what he was like under Tim Sherwood’s management.
