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

This is genuinely a story about a contracted Leicester city footballer wearing a Leicester city top whilst training.

The midfielder has been linked with a shock move to the Gunners who are looking to revamp their squad this summer after a dismal campaign in the Premier League

He was wearing a Norwich shirt in a post the other day....presumably he's failed a medical for that move.

I just love modern sports journalism.

Here's our story....a couple of lines.

& now over to copies of Twitter posts from nobodies who know **** all about anything & who's opinions are irrelevant.

The End

I've had to rejig my news feed settings thanks to the endless stream of bullshit like this that clogs it up during transfer windows.

The best ones are from JOE, who seem to be able to whip up an article from one tweet.

Best ones where from when Sven was the manager and it was all about us signing Beckham

They will never match the excitement of having to wait to walk past the Mercury News shop to see what the Sports headline poster was after school. 'Leicester to swoop for Roberts in £300k raid' or 'Blake to sign in £400k club record!
Days

I've said this before on here, but the sandwich board outside the newsagent, announcing we were going to sign a Man Utd player, was a bit of a disappointment, when it turned out to be Brian Carey.

**** Cruyff. We ended up with Stevie Lynex (on the wing)

Be very interested to see if Bertrand is a replacement for Fuchs in the squad or if he would be 1st choice until Justin is fit again? Clearly neither Castagne or Ricardo want to play there.
Thomas may be will break this year but still not a Champs League left back as things stand..

Said it earlier. I think he starts until Justin is fit.

He doesn’t need to be seeing as we’re not in it.

Thomas or Castagne should start. Bertrand over either of those is mental.

Bertrand is a perfectly decent left back. Not top four quality but I'd much rather him at left back than either of those options.

Thomas might become a quality left back but he still has much to learn and improve.

Castagne is a mess at left back. Utterly useless.
