Speculation The hysterical and annoying, but traditional, totally unfounded summer 2022 rumours thread

[Miles Away]

Villa and Everton both already in for Tarkowski now. Some rumours saying we are too.

I'd be furious if we didn't go for Tarkowski, he's exactly what we need.

Depends on the financial package and whether that is a driving factor for the player.

From a footballing perspective I maintain we are the best option outside of the "big six" ... but from a financial perspective Everton and Villa are likely to overpay for his services.

If he goes for the extra money over the opportunity to win stuff...he's probably not the right player for us anyway.

He otter be setting his sights higher than Everton or Villa

All true, but he probably is also first pick on Villa and Everton’s team sheets. He won’t be if he joins us. Could be a factor for him.

Won't he? He'd take Evans' place without question.

Only if Evans is injured. So yes he'd take Evan's place.

Based on reports from Percy over the last few years, our recruitment team rated Tarkowski but BR has never been convinced.

I think we only go for him if we can't afford a quicker, more technically capable alternative.

 

[give_us_a_wave]

He'd suit Atletico Madrid for certain.

Yep. It'd be a better move for him than Real. If anyone can turn him into the defender he has the potential to be it's Simeone.

We did sign Vestergaard after all.

Chip pisser.

We did sign Vestergaard after all.

And if we could have signed Tarkowski for £15m last summer, we would have done. Different time, different requirements.

It's obvious to me that we won't now sign Tarkowski though. BR has been really clear what he wants and he doesn't fit.

I'm not convinced by Tarkowski either but he would at least be free in terms of the fee now. Burnley really shot themselves in the foot not moving him on whilst he had some value. Supposedly they're recent takeover was largely debt fuelled as well so relegation could leave them in some serious shit.

And that is what BR wants and needs.

Nick Pope is someone we should be trying sign I believe he has a release clause now Burnley have been relegated? This guy has been immense between the sticks and is guaranteed to get you 9 pts a season he is that good imo.

How many do you think Schmeichel earned us?

Cags is wanted in Madrid

Atletico to rival Real Madrid in battle to sign Soyuncu from Leicester

The 25-year-old Turkish centre-back joined Leicester from the German side for a fee of £19million in 2018 and has since made 123 appearances for the Foxes.

If so, they certainly haven't watched him here. Just watch his defending as we capitulated a year ago.

shudder.

When we signed him I worked a lot with a german sports newsroom/editorial group. The EIC told me we'd get very frustrated by Soyuncu and that he was talented but brainless. I thought Cags had grown out of it, but in truth, the German was right really.

**** off with £25m, I'd keep him for another year rather than sell for that little.

With a full summer break, we could have the original Tielemans back and not last seasons.

 

[Miles Away]

I don't see Arsenal as a preferred destination for him. His agent will be parlaying their interest to hopefully force hand of a few Champions League clubs.

I could actually see him staying here rather than jumping to Arsenal.

about the same although the rumours are he could be off in the summer? Also he is English this is why most squads hold 3 keepers as it ensures they are compliant with the Regs on homebase players.
