The hysterically annoying and totally unfounded, but traditional, Summer 2024 rumours thread.

For the record, shit + dull - annoying = crap ÷ mundane x dross

£30m or similar for a loan is crazy, but this looks like a decent signing on paper.

Obviously no idea what Broja and Szmodics wanted themselves, but two good signings in positions we're desperately short for.

Not convinced by Broja one bit.

Same, doesn't feel like a good signing this one. I wouldn't want him, especially for that kind of money.

You don't think 2 goals in 26 Prem games is convincing?

How about 18 in 96 for his whole career?

Yes agreed - you could get better for 30m. Daka, for example!

Oh for ****’s sake

Think I preferred the tumbleweed….

Might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but he’s been in the top division for a while for a reason

After a decent showing first game with positivity about the place (second half). Signing Ayew wouldn't be pissing on our chips. It'd be sticking the chips in a cooler bag for a trip up to Edinburgh to stick salt n sauce all over them.

I always feel better about a signing when you say they’re shite

 

[Micky]

Ayew... Runs forever, wins fouls, gains territory, assists others, is a horrible player to play against.

In our position, I see the logic.

He would have been ideal to bring on against Spurs the other night.

Also, 6 million quid is nothing in today's market.

 

[popillius]

Ayew... Runs forever, wins fouls, gains territory, assists others, is a horrible player to play against and is complete and total shit everywhere he's played

Yep.

 

[Miles Away]

Yeah, I don’t hate it, I suppose.

I generally prefer we sign younger players with resale value (and lovely bums) but I see the logic here.

He’s a bit horrible too, which I think will serve us well.

 

[Micky]

Yep.

Go and read the Palace forum you miserable ****er.

 

[OzzieFox]

Mauriccio Pochettino gave Skipp his Spurs senior debut back in 2018 when the player was just 18.

He said back then: "I think he played like a 30-year-old man

He probably looked like one as well?

 

[SilverFox]

Go and read the Palace forum you miserable ****er.

Ayew set to leave

Why? I've seen him at. He's been pretty shit at every club he's been to. If you want balance, you could ask Villa fans what they think of him. Or Swansea fans. Or look at his stats of 22 goals in 175 appearances for Palace. Or his 9 in 51 for Villa. Or his 8 in 50 for Swansea....

In the meantime, we need a goalscorer..... It sure as shit ain't this guy.

I'm going to choose to see him as Cooper's version of Okazaki who never contributed a lot of goals but was vital to how the team fitted together.

You can choose to carry on being Norman Negative.

You can see him how you like. I'll wait until I see him play until I judge him as a Leicester player. None of what I have said about him is from the street, just based on facts and numbers. If he surprises me and becomes a decent squad option then great, I'll be happy. If he doesn't, which is probably more likely, then I won't. Simple really intit.

We are going to need a goalscorer though if we want to compete. History and statistics show us that Ayew isn't one. If Cooper is buying him to play the supportive role then okay, as long as we buy another striker to put the ball in the net.

Absolutely spot on.

 

[jb5000]

Of course there is also a third choice - I'm going to wait and see how he plays for us
