The hysterically annoying and totally unfounded, but traditional, January 2025 rumours thread.

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

I do not understand this anti-Saints position. Personally I think Vestergaard has been our best defender for a couple of seasons.
We probably don’t have much of a pot to piss in financially, so why are people expecting us to be signing a £50million+ defender?

I do not understand this anti-Saints position.

might have something to do with us absolutely walloping them repeatedly for the last few seasons and their defence looking shit.

That might be it.

 

[Brown Nose]

Why are we obsessed with buying Southampton's dross ffs? Do we not have a scouting network that can discover some up and coming defenders?

Our head of recruitment (Martyn Glover) joined us from Southampton. Kyle Walker-Peters was one of his signings for them.

 

[Miles Away]

Could definitely see us signing him.

Bobby Shitpants type signing.

 

[OzzieFox]

Despite the history of our Southampton signings, KWP would walk straight into our side and be an improvement. He is one of their better players and the only only reason they'd let him go is because otherwise he does a Tielemans.
KWP is perhaps one of the best right backs we could sign in our position. I don't think he'll come. We would you jump from 20th to 19th.

I'm not sure KWP is an improvement defensively (which is what we need). He's always struck me as another attacking wingback. Personally don't think he any better than BDR or BE-K. I was hoping RVP would be able to lure back KDH.

Yeh, now I think on it, although KWP can seem like an exciting player because of his going forward, but we do need a solid defender as RB.

Why are you comparing him to El-Khannouss? I guess BE-K is El-Khannouss(?)

This was after the Vestergaard/ Bertrand debacle though...

This. The only defence in the league at the minute that looks consistently as bad as ours.

Personally I think Vestergaard has been our best defender for a couple of seasons.

Aside from the fact that this is debatable, I'd say that's like deciding whether it's preferable to get cancer or syphilis.

We don't need to drop £50m. What happened to scouting an up and coming unknown defender?

 

[DillyDing22]

Because he is a VIP but is often MIA

 

[Blue Maniac]

I'd say that's like deciding whether it's preferable to get cancer or syphilis.

This seems like a pretty straightforward choice

 

[give_us_a_wave]

This seems like a pretty straightforward choice

Well, unless it's that new style drug resistant syphilis. Then both will kill you.

Although thinking about it, yes you're probably still right. Cancer is yours & yours alone but syphilis gives you the option to take a few others with you if you were so minded.

This is the The hysterically annoying and totally unfounded, but traditional, January 2025 rumours thread, there's no place for your 'There's a perfectly reasonable explanation for this rumour' post.

Regardless of who we get in - let's hope it's a Happy New Year for all us TB's - all the best for 2025!

Fair enough.

How about this then for some utterly bewildering nonsense that is so insane it might just be the sort of thing we'd do.

 

[Miles Away]

Taking it as genuine (it probably isn’t).

This is probably a contingency in the event we sell Soumare, which I could definitely see us doing.

He was ****ing garbage for us.

That is hilarious

 

[City Fan]

Yep. In the Championship.

If we replace Soumare with this duffer we may as well give up.

Agreed.

RvN has said that they expect Eduoard to stay. He is looking abroad for loans as they can't have any more from the PL.
