Speculation The hysterical and annoying, but traditional, totally unfounded summer 2020 rumours thread

[SJN-Fox]

I remember a midfielder called Lewis. He was my favourite player ever.

Weirdo

Does anyone remember an away game where fans at the front we're being pushed against the barrier because of the amount of people? (Bit like Hillsborough, but obviously not) sure that was Millwall.
We were moved into a seated part of the ground as there were too many fans

I remember something like that happening at Notts County, first match of the season I think, just after they rebuilt half their ground.

 

[camberwell fox]

I remember that game. Crazy. They just wanted to kick people.

Yes, I think it was a midweek FA Cup replay, never been so pleased to have lost a game.

Newcastle targeting Smalling.

We absolutely should be all over this. He had a great season at Roma, has European experience and I believe played with Evans.

30 years old so in his prime as a CB and we are ****ing desperate for experienced players.

rather him than Dunk/Tarkowski etc.

He's a clod-hopping donkey, while we're clearly looking for a bit of ability on the ball at the back. If Steve Bruce's Newcastle are in for him, he's not the player for us.

the Italian press apparently really rated him, they know a thing or 2 about defending and their press tend to grill people more tactically, so I'd say he must be pretty good and better than a "clod-hopping donkey"

He clearly isn't a ****ing donkey as he's played football at the highest level over the last 12 years more than we have.

If he's getting rave reviews as a defender in Italy then I'm willing to believe the lad can defend. I want my defenders to defend 1st and play the ball out like a creative midfielder 2nd.

 

[Robin127]

I always thought Smalling was a pretty decent player.

 

[Blue Maniac]

Surely the only man who can claim to have played for both Roma and Maidstone.

Apparently this could all make Rodgers look like a dick.

How Chilwell's potential departure could leave Rodgers sounding out of tune

Chilwell has been strongly linked with a move to Chelsea

Too late IMO. 14 points too ****ing late.

Did people expect him to say Chilwell is shit and definitely available if anyone is stupid enough?

 

[ThaiSweetChilli]

As long as he's better than Junior Lewis then it's all good.

By the account of a few Norwich fans, he's very much underrated. He's fast, has excellent stamina to bomb it up and down the wing and is a good defender. He has plenty to improve on including his positioning, but if we sell Chilwell for £50/60m and this guy fills that void just as well then I'd say it's another good deal.

Let's try to be concise with out transfers. Buendia in next for me if possible, excellent player.

So he's better than Chilwell....

 

[londonfox]

lets not act like him playing was some plan they were forced into it, he was our 5th option for that spot after Chilwell, Justin, Fuchs and Albrighton, if they thought he was ready for regular premier League football Fuchs wouldn't still be here taking up wages and a spot in the 25 man squad that could be used elsewhere.

If Luke Thomas ends up being our starting left back next season it is a massive gamble and most likely the club taking the cheap option

I don’t think people are suggesting he should be our starting left-back. It’s the loaning him out to then have to buy two left-backs if Chilwell leaves that people don’t see the sense in.

 

[londonfox]

He has plenty to improve on including his positioning

So he’s no better than Chilwell...

 

[fitz]

rather him than Dunk/Tarkowski etc.

He's miles better than either of those. Sell Chillywilly for silly money and get Mike Smalling and the Norridge lad in.

Kasper linked away again. He's such a leader and one of the best keepers we've ever had. Leocester through and through. Can't imagine anyone else in goal tbh. Also of all the PL clubs surely he is the longest reigning no.1? I know he isn't perfect but i want him here until he retires.

We talk a lot about Vardy but how many memories has this guy created? Hopefully just lazy journalism but perhaps not.

If we do need to replace him i say Nick Pope. Though Rico is solid keeper too but not as good as Pope, Hendo, Dubravka etc.

 

[Volpone]

It's no surprise to me that Chilwell's form has been relatively poor for most of last season.

It has to be unsettling when a another club like Chelsea sets out to poach a player by weekly hints to the media that he is a target for them.

How can you expect him to give 100% commitment in every game when his mind is elsewhere and he is wanting to avoid serious injury, even subconsciously.

I think it is quite disgraceful behaviour by Chelsea. Other so called big clubs do it all the time.

Should we be doing it too?

 

[popillius]

Chilwell out for more than a few quid with Smalling and Lewis coming in would be a right old result for us. We should be smashing the likes of Newcastle out of the way to get at Smalling. Lewis looks an excellent player.
