Speculation The hysterical and annoying, but traditional, totally unfounded summer 2021 rumours thread

Willock is excellent.

If he was that good Arsenal would keep him. I can't believe everyone on here falling over themselves to bleat how fantastic he is.
He isn't.

Yeah. He'd be a good back up option though.

Indeed

He was particularly rubbish when he scored in seven games in a row at the end of the season in a side full of teammates who are complete and utter shite

FFS, do people on here even watch football ?

Best to just trust Arsenal. Spotless, their record on recruitment and talent evaluation.

I can think of a certain Spaniard who had a damn good scoring record for Newcastle at one point..

Never scored 7 in 7 as a sub

Rule one when you sell a player is to never take a part exchange.

We invest enough in our scouting and analytical departments to ever want to do this.

Well I'm not sure that's a great rule.

What if Willock is someone we're interested in?

Or in Spurs case, where they would massively improve their defence by taking Laporte alongside the £100m offered for Kane.

Wolves set sights on Leicester City star Ward - Sources

Football Insider can exclusively reveal Wolves are setting their sights on Leicester City number two goalkeeper Danny Ward

If Wolves want him as first choice then I'd certainly hope we get more back than the £12.5m we paid for him.

Although considering Wolves don't even have a manager yet (I think) then I can't see this being true.

Bruno Lage is their new manager.

Ward has definitely looked a safer pair of hands than Patricio at the Euros so far so I could see something in it.

There'll surely be a few interested in Ward after the Euros and you'd have thought that has given him the taste of competitive football so wouldn't be surprised if he did move on this summer.

I could be wrong but I'm not sure a manager at Wolves will be having much say on signings. Totally based on media speculation of course.

I haven’t seen anyone say he is rubbish. Just seen some say that he is not excellent. Even in this current iteration of football a player can be somewhere in between both.

if they've said finalised within 10 days, looks like both the Daka and Soumare signature announcements are going to be in line with the 1st July 'overseas signing' window opening. I suppose you can't announce that things have been 'signed' until that point if the windows aren't open, even when they reportedly have...

You can still sign players outside the window. Like we did with Adrien Silva...

And you can still announce players who have agreed to sign on 1st July. For example... https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/fi...-deal-to-sign-ibrahima-konate-from-rb-leipzig

Until they are confirmed, as in an official news source rather than some person on twitter just saying done deal, I fear that our name is being used as bait for a last minute gazumping from someone else.

Definitely feel like I'm getting old now as the transfer window used to seem really exciting but now it just seems full of shit.

 

[Brown Nose]

Surely any signing from overseas would have to isolate for ten days following arrival?

If so, wouldn't it make sense to get them into the country on the quiet and then do the publicity stuff once they're able to.

I saw Daka was travelling the other day. It could be that any done deals are this week beginning to isolate at Seagrave with a view to being unveiled just before preseason training begins.

He's a footballer, he'll be going on holiday to somewhere nice.

I hate it. I hate that every ****er including the Leicester Mercury) tries their best to sell our players.

There’s an astounding amount of shit out there. It’s just irritating.

I think that's a case not of getting old, but of getting wise. It was always full of shit

I like that, in Marbella wearing his cup final replica top to the gym.

Linking it to him committing himself to LCFC is bollocks, but I like the picture anyway.
