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

So he could be good or could be poor?

I'm hoping the scouting team have a more detailed picture.

He might just be average.. don’t forget that

 

[bocadillo]

he was rubbish at Newcastle and appears to struggle when moving clubs

Easily sorted. We'll just ban him from playing golf.

Lets not pretend there's anything in between quality and utter shite.

 

[Payne74]

I don't understand your logic. Should we only be signing players that everybody else is after? How many people were in for Evans? Or any of the other great buys we've made?

I'm not suggesting that, what I'm saying is he's a well known name that alot of people know about, we generally buy younger unheard of players, Evans had a relagation release clause in his contract that made it easier for us to get him.

I'm not convinced he will be any good for us though I hope I'm wrong that is if we do sign him

 

[Robin127]

Probably neither a success nor a failure. An adequate signing.

But ahead of Ghezzal and Diabate.

**** me - so is Boc and he’s 83

You're confusing my age and my waist size (in centimetres).

Gerrimin, I do so like an average player.

 

[Graz]

Free right winger, already at his prime age and no one else is interested?

Worked out alright with Marc Albrighton

There was also summat interesting in a podcast or summat that said the top four(ish) can’t shop for a gem in a turd as their fans rebel at spending £400k and expect £multi million signings to justify their existence.

Just remind me. Where do we stand with signing players from the EU post brexit? What are the rules?

Caglar's new friend? Given Under isn't going to make the grade, we need another Turk. Boy, do we wanna hang on to Soyuncu - enough to buy a friend for him.

(Actually, in all seriousness, it wouldn't surprise me if such a thing has been a factor with signings generally. The language barrier can be a problem not just on the pitch but also in the isolation one feels generally.... young kid in a new country, speaking a new language... what was it Ian Rush once, supposedly, said of Italy?)

Isn’t that why we brought in Slimani... to kerp Mahrez happy?

Have the Mercury ran any FM simulations with him in our side yet? Until then we’ll never know.

[pork pie fox]

Remember when it felt like nobody wanted any of our players? Rumour or not, it shows the calibre of player we have at the club these days.

 

[Skitzo]

Bayern despite being the size they are don't tend to pay massive fees for players

 

[parafox]

Bayern despite being the size they are don't tend to pay massive fees for players

A big part of that is the fact they seem to run german football and every other german club brings the lube to transfer negotiations with them.

 

[Blue Maniac]

Hence the headline I suppose

Hence the headline I suppose

Probably but I don’t see them changing policy for Tielemans, not a big enough star name
