Transfer Rumours transfer thread fact and fiction

HBIC with the save

 

There is a footballer called Kagawa
Who plays in the German Bundesliga
Dortmund supposedly want rid
For just three million quid
He could join us and receive passes from Gazzaniga

 

Kagawa and Son in the same side? Any good Chinese players, so we can get all of the viewers from Asia?

 

Wu Lei at Shanghai SIPG is essentially the Chinese version of Son, with a ridiculously prolific 27 goals in 30 league games last season

 

mods : get this Citeh supporting Diego wannabee off this board.

 

Love the South Korean fans at games. I get they’re “plastics”/ “day trippers” but their support for Son is incredible. When he scored his first league goal at the Lane against Palace a few seasons back, I had a South Korean with their flag next to me, my cousins and mates, as Son scored we lifted the guy up and paraded his flag, not sure if he loved the experience or was terrified by it but I’m sure it was something he’d ever forget

 

They support the player (their countryman) , not the club.
This is not lost on those clubs looking at the SE Asia market.

 

There were a couple of South Koreans behind me when Son scored his goal against Chelsea earlier in the season.
If you're going to travel halfway around the world to watch one player, then that's probably the game to be at!

 

Have seen a few Sonny fans get up and walk out when Sonny's been subbed off. No discussion, just up and out. It's different.

 

This Adrien Rabiot transfer rumour still seems to be doing the rounds, despite the player saying we’re not on his level.

If it is true, seems to me to be a direct Dembele replacement. Watched some footage of him and he likes to put in quality through balls and certainly sees a pass.

Seems to have good close ball control and upper body strength but his finishing is pretty suspect.

Does this story have any legs or is it usual paper fabricated nonsense?

 

Hope it's rubbish TBH.. self important twat who thinks he is too good for us so as soon as a "big" club comes sniffing if he does well he will demand to go.

 

File under : merc c**t.

 

I’d say this means one of two things:

Serge is showing love to Rabiot after Rabiot has supposedly donated £25k towards reopening the search for Sala.

Or

It might be finally time to get excited at a possible new signing.

 

Either way, well done Serge.

 

Are there any quotes or proof that Rabiot actually said or wrote what he is supposed to have about Spurs being beneath his level?

But was also widely reported elsewhere:

I’m wondering if Aurier is going back to PSG and Rabiot is coming this way in a swap deal.

Makes sense:

1. Were already maxxed out with foreign registered players in our CL squad
2. Could mean KWP takes Aurier’s slot
3. Rabiot’s a direct replacement for Dembele

 

I’ve never actually seen any quote of real words said, just hearsay. So could easily be made up bollocks by the hacks.

 

Interesting theory.
Aurier seems well liked in the squad though, so that’d be a bit of a surprise. And with Trippier playing poorly this season, I certainly hope it doesn’t come to fruition.
