Marcelo
Juan Mata
Jason Denayer
Ross Barkley
Ben Arfa
Dan-Axel Zagadou
Nolito
Diego Costa
Loris Karius
Daniel Sturridge
Simone Zaza
Eliaquim Mangala
Danny Drinkwater
Sofiane Feghouli
Aaron Lennon

Free Agents. Maybe crazy but I'd love Diego Costa. Hard bastard to **** shit up.

I'll take that bet.

I think you owe @homer a photo of you with your top off.

Give them all 7 year contracts at 300,000 a week

Simone Zaza

Would love to see him on penalties

 

[Blue Maniac]

Insane that Mata hasn’t found a club. Quality player.

Insane that Mata hasn’t found a club. Quality player.

I was thinking the same and was the name that stood out to me; also a very good professional who, while he's quiet on the pitch, would add a calm and experienced head to the team.

Not sure he'd help our team though.

I can see us signing Denayer still.

 

[Brown Nose]

Insane that Mata hasn’t found a club. Quality player.

He retired from playing about three years ago didn't he? I've not seen him break sweat in a long time. Avoid.

 

[Miles Away]

I think you owe @homer a photo of you with your top off.

He’s already got plenty.

 

[londonfox]

It's insane that Daniel Sturridge hasn't retired.

From todays BBC Gossip page

"Torino say they wanted to bring 28-year-old Belgium midfielder Dennis Praet back to the club but Leicester City "simply wouldn't let him go". Praet was on loan at the Serie A side last season. (Football Italia)"

Leicester were very willing to do a deal all summer. Torino lowballed the whole time expecting us to give in late in the window. Quite rightly, we stood firm.

I was wondering whether they were hanging on to him as they expected Tielemans to leave.

 

[ThaiSweetChilli]

I'd love to sign Denayer. I think Ross Barkley has some good years in him at the - he has the potential to do well at the right club, don't think it's here though.

I'd also take a punt on Zagadou.

I'd also take a punt on Zagadou.

Push pineapple etc etc. Never heard of him.

Push pineapple etc etc. Never heard of him.

I was expecting a few more lyrics....

CB who never really made it at Dortmund, only 23/24 years old, had injury issues but with zero fee, it's worth a major look at imo.

Dan-Axel Zagadou is the best defender you've never seen

If you tuned into the Bundesliga or the Champions League in early December 2020, you may have caught...

Nathan Redmond joined Besiktas.

Would have been interesting here. Right footed right winger?

 

[popillius]

Doesn't matter that these people are freebies; the whole point of not signing anyone was to lower our wage bill.

Also Redmond was their only decent player that night. He at least had a shot on target I think?
