    Back to Chelsea replacement for Hazard who's going to Real Madrid.

    Lose our first choice right back and gain a 3rd choice left back?

    I'm not suggesting he's Walker's replacement, I just think it's a deal that might happen.

  6. The big Transfers in the domestic market are definitely going to be Sanchez, Walker and Mahrez (in that order). I'd like to add Hazard to that list, but I can't see him leaving Chelsea right after winning the title.

    The fact that he thinks Mahrez moving will be a big deal, kid's an utter **** house of a player, exposed when the going got tough for Leics.... imo.

    I'm going to stick my neck out and predict we'll sell (at least) one of our best players this Summer <ok>

    Yeah, and you'll probably sell a second to someone that isn't Liverpool too.

    We want another Mane not another Lovren please.

    If you'd watched him in every game he has played you'd have a very different opinion ... I have ... he will be brilliant with better players around him and is unquestionably the most technically gifted footballer at Leicester City that I have seen in close to 50 years of watching them ...

    So Atletico Madrid can't sign any players this summer

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40117879

    Does that mean Lacazette might still be an option for a PL team? Does it also mean they won't sell Griezman to Utd this summer as they won't have Lacazette as a replacement?

    Interesting.



    In other news - City confirm 35mil signing of a fairly unknown keeper <yikes>

    Pep's uncanny ability to either inherit or buy the best/ most expensive players really does certify him as the best manager in the world.

    What a guy.

    Obviously.

    Being technically gifted has no bearing on his attitude and application. Plenty players suffer from the same syndrome. Anyhow, it was a tongue in cheek comment, the lad is a complete misery of an unprofessional footballer, but I can appreciate he has talent.


    It doesn't matter what they want, all that matters is what Griezmann and United (or any other purchasing club) want, they're powerless, the best they can do is probably force United to pay the lot up front.

    They're only powerless if you opt to pay the 100m euro release clause.

    Well yeah, that was the inference mate. That was probably the deal anyway, regardless of whether their ban got lifted or not.

    IMO this makes him more likely to leave, no squad improvement other than what they can promote through their own ranks, another season of 'nearly' for Antoine? I doubt it.
