CHAMPIONSHIP REBUILD THREAD

David Villa ISN'T in Rossis - but he is back in the Spain squad after a three year absence https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/aug/25/spain-david-villa-world-cup-qualifying

 

That would be a good enough reason for big nose to make a £2.5m bid

 

Clement says he's involved:

Good luck , and can youdirect me to a site that is up to date

 

Very strange timing.

 

Pulis says we are still in for Chadli.....

 

God help us

 

So Arias, Bony & Chadli to follow Clucas?

Don't believe it

 

Not unless Llorente gets sold. Now, if Llorente stays and we sign all 3, I'd be a little happier.

Still don't think Chadli is the answer though.

 

He's hoping. They had a falling out I think.

 

He wouldn't go on their pre season camp because of the fitness sessions or something.

 

Can't believe we're possibly even entertaining the prospect of letting Llorente go, if there's any substance in it. Surely if Bony comes in & get's injured, we're in the same situation we're in now. With a rookie kid & one who can't wear his socks right, as back up. Ayew is not an option!! Bony took until at least October, if my memory is correct, to start firing on all cylinders first time around. How long would he possibly take now, we might be as good as cut adrift by then..
Just tell Chelsea to fvck off & tell Llorente you're not going anywhere until at least January. We've already lost one top player & not been replaced. By then (January), we might have, as good as, secured Premier league status for another season & also clubs pay even more inflated transfer fees in that month too!! These Yanks are 'stripping' us ffs...

Also, this late in the game, as long as we secure Arias & Bony, I would take Chadli. We 'ARE' desperate & need some creative input, Llorente/Bony will need quality service. Maybe Clement could work wonders with him. Just don't think we'll see enough from Clucas on that front. Just a feeling...

 

Wilf started scoring against Malmo 1st August
First league goal was in the first game of the season.
Lean times for a few weeks in the EPL but was scoring in Europa games.
Scored steadily through the season.

Llorente isn't going to be match fit for months and should only be considered an impact sub imo.
In all honesty as much as I really like Llorente 15 goals is not a huge number to score in a season when he was usually our only goal getter. It is certainly a figure we should have been looking for from a younger player, even if they do cost money.

But, every striker needs service.

Somebody had better tell Big Nose!

 

Hahaha

 

Clement said earlier that he could have had Loftus-cheek from Chelsea, but felt we needed Abraham more, and that you can only loan one player from a club.

Remy story is more bullshit

 

After the stories about Siggy I take everything Clement says with a pinch of salt.

 

Aye, but I'd still listen to Clement more than some random dude on twitter.
