My favourites on the BBC website are the ones that say “Man Utd will not move for Neymar”

um... great?

Can I have some of what they are smoking to print that?

 

[mabrah]

I wonder if they've considered an Afghan wolfhound? That'd be an alternative too.

They would have to sign him before 1st January.

Do-able.

Leicester City are willing to let English winger Demarai Gray, 24, leave the club and replace him with Celtic's Scotland winger Ryan Christie, 25, or Reading's French midfielder Michael Olise, 19. (90min)

That Olise looks pretty good

Surely Gray would be better served waiting until the end of the season when his contract expires. That way he’ll get a much bigger signing on fee from his new club.

 

[Brown Nose]

BR has already said that the club won't be signing anyone in January. He said that there was a possibility that one or two could leave - presumably he was referring to Gray and Slimani.

The world has changed for all players in this COVID world though. Those players whose contracts are expiring are playing a very dangerous game. I can imagine some really quite surprising players not getting the opportunities they would anticipate in Summer 2021. If either Gray or Slimani have the offer of a decent contract in January, I'd suggest that they'd be foolish to dismiss it.

 

[sparky79]

If we sell/loan slimani or gray we definitely need to bring another striker/wide forward in if we want to approach the second half of the season and knockouts of the Europe league with confidence.

It might be better for everyone if we let him leave for nothing in January. We save six months wages, he gets a new club where he might get a game, and a bigger contract.

Why - there's no way we would have played either one of the useless fecks

 

[popillius]

For all of Rodgers' posturing, I think we will be actively looking to bring someone in this January. I'm not saying it will happen, I think cost may prevent us from getting what we need, but if the right loan deal or the right signing becomes available then I think we'd have a go at brining in reinforcements.

I would love to see us bringing in a forward. We simply cannot hope to break the top four whilst our only plan B up front is Iheanacho.

 

[Volpone]

Ryan Christie scored a wonderful goal for Celtic today.

 

[londonfox]

So that’s the latest Celtic player we’ve been linked with since Rodgers took charge. We didn’t sign any of the others cos’ he knows they’re not of the quality needed for the Premier League, and no doubt thins is a complete load of bollocks too.
