Speculation The hysterical and annoying, but traditional, totally unfounded summer 2023 rumours thread - it's started already!

[Brown Nose]

It seems Evans is training at Manyoo, not Everton

Doesn't necessarily mean anything. For example, Liam Moore is training with us. Old boys thing.

"felt something in training".... well there's lead out for you. Fill in the next line.

Me, I'm going to go for 'a huge desire to **** off and be paid shit loads'

 

[homer]

Felt a boot up his arse kicking him out the door to get some money in

Pity, cos I think he fits this new system perfectly

 

[City Fan]

Not convinced a keeper is priority. Iversen is perfectly fine for this level, whatever the system. Even Ward could look alright at this level.

 

[taupe]

It's all about distribution. Iversen is particularly shite at it, despite being an otherwise OK keeper.

Jesus Christ, is that a hint of positivity?

But I completely disagree. Neither of them are good enough. Ward as goalkeeper in general and Iversen with his feet (which will be a massive part of the way Maresca want to play).

Please god, not Ward, ever again.

Quite simply the worst City keeper I can ever imagine.

Zeljko Kalac?

Zeljko Kalac?

Spider in the house. Still bettter than Ward mind.

Probably due to the fact that he was about 9 feet tall.

Douglas, Nielsen, Pressman, Henderson, Weale

 

[popillius]

Iversen was shite. Everyone wanted him in over Ward but, in reality, he was, at best, only slightly better. Stolarczyk was absolutely ****ing dreadful today.

We need a keeper.

 

[City Fan]

Everyone wanted him in over Ward

Everyone apart from you?

I think Maresca either needs to play with a system that suits the current squad, or be able to make wholesale changes.

My fear is that he’ll try to play his way, without the players that can.

He's brought in Winks, Doyle and Coady who will fit that system. He's also soon to bring in Mads Hermansen who looks like the ideal keeper and essential for the style of play that he is looking to play. It may be a slow start but we might eventually get there.

Bollocks is Ward good enough.

 

[Miles Away]

Douglas, Nielsen, Pressman, Henderson, Weale

I’d take any of them.

 

[popillius]

Everyone apart from you?

You love those broken records. Keep playing them if it cheers you up. Something must.

 

[camberwell fox]

I’d take any of them.

Me too, over Ward.

The only thing that Ward dropped more than clangers were points for us.
