It was all rubbish, like 98% of the transfer tripe pushed out. A clear indicator of bullshit is when the same player is quoted as costing or being sold or being offered at multiple and varying price points that go up and down like the temperature. Alonso is a perfect example, as is Werner. It is all rot. Giroud has been offered to half of Europe if you believe the press, and Real Madrid would have an 80 player squad worth 6 or 7 billion euros.

When did Chilwell publicly say he wants to play for Guardiola? oldportblue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it may not work out the same way again but if you're worried about City getting him especially if we don't have CL football, think Jorginho and maybe even Kante.

Sarri was a large factor with Jorginho I would think Kante was indeed a coup after that disaster of a 2015-16 season I really want Pep gone, lol Barca are a mess atm (ironically Real Madrid and ZZ have righted themselves) Even Messi is in a bit of a funk I do not think Valverde makes it through the year at the rate he is going What's wrong with Lionel Messi?

Our purchase of Dembele is real. Also what we do in January will determine what we'll do in the summer. If we don't sign LB now it's quite clear we wait for Chilwell /Alaba who'll be available in the summer. Same for winger. No Zaha or other winger now means we wait for Sancho. Also signing Dembele means bye bye Werner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we can learn what specific areas of the team he and the club are looking at. I doubt it, but worth a try. I think it's what we all expect. Lampard has already stressed the need to be more clinical in attack so an offensive player is clearly on his wishlist and his contact changing at left back also has to be taken as an indicator that he's not happy there either.

What the fuck is wrong with this club??? How can someone with two brain cells think this is good idea!? On loan according to the article. I would far rather we take a risk with something like this on loan and gives us chance to assess properly in the summer than just buying a third or fourth choice simply because they're available now. We've made too many mistakes along similar lines in recent years. NikkiCFC, Strike, Muzchap and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldportblue 547 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 lemar? ewww even on loan wouldn't want him... for what, so that he can take minutes away from development of CHO, pulisic and mount and then leave in the summer? Is he even better than pedro in any case? I don't think so... would be a horrible signing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
