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

[Graz]

Palace are apparently close to signing Benrahma for around £20m.

Baffled why we aren't in for him.

Watch us end up with Andros Townshend...

A good friend of CS I believe.

Could be a good signing on multiple fronts.

Was interesting that Rodgers said, on trying to improve the squad, we'll see what happens in the next few days - one suspects that means we're close to concluding a couple of deals for players

Not impressive stats. I am ünder-whelmed.

Interesting view from Rob Tanner (referencing the tweet rather than the article)

Will prices drop towards the end of the window when clubs realise they can't get the asking prices they'd hoped for?

Obviously some will play hard ball and refuse to sell - why should they reduce their asking price because of the situation and because clubs can't afford to pay what they want? However, plenty of clubs will be in the boat where they need to sell to balance the books, sell to raise funds to bring in their own targets, or sell because players are entering final year of contract, etc.

It could be a few moves in different places set things in motion.

in England maybe not but abroad where they need to money from sales probably a little

Prices may go down everywhere but Burnley. Their plan is to manically keep saying £80m while sat on their arse, cradling their knees, and gently rocking back and forth.

This lad Lamptey at Brighton is special

And, since he’s already played for Chelsea, he’s worth signing.

£80m

Thought Brighton played some decent Football. Lampety looked OK but we have plenty of players for RB, pity he wasn't left sided.

Worked for us and Maguire

Still like the look of Maupay a lot too.

£25m bid for Fofana has apparently been rejected, with Saint Etienne saying that he won't be leaving.

 

[Payne74]

Depends if Fofana throws his toys out to make it happen.

I hope he doesn't.
Being somewhat a stepping stone club ourselves, do we really want another player to do that to us if he's a success and gets interest higher up the ladder?

It's not that simple though. Seems the club may have done him over and reversed on a commitment.

It's never so straight forward with these things.

Like Mahrez and his supposed promise then.
A hell of a lot of our fans blame Mahrez for that.
But like you say it isnt straight forward and fans only get half a story anyway.
