Transfer Rumours transfer thread fact and fiction

Strange that the hackeratti are not running with the
Toby 70m offer (Man Utd or other) a half day after
the office opened ...

 

I reckon an announcement this afternoon or tomorrow. Spurs won't want to announce to much during the World Cup, as it'll get lost. So at least one of Dele and Christian Eriksen announed by then, if not both?

 

Toulouse have said Issa Diop can leave for £26m

Given we've been linked with him for some time, coupled with Lascelles being quoted at £45m+ while De Ligt has a high pricetag and the potential for some of Mino "****" Raiola's ****ehousery, common sense would dictate that we're all over that

...of course, we don't do common sense until the last couple of weeks of any transfer window

 

Now we're being linked with Rafinha

...is it worth mentioning that Rafinha is currently on loan at Inter, who have an option to make his loan permanent for €35m? Yes, yes it is, because his loan concludes on July 1st (sort of like NDombele's at Lyon, for that matter) so it's not as if we can do anything until then, and that's assuming he returns to Barca

 

De Ligt sounds like the real deal though. Plus ex Ajax seem to thrive at Spur.

Also the players we seem to get from France usually end up to be flops.

 

The Manchester Evening News have 'leaked' that United have 8 options for the hole in their centre defence and that their scouts aren't that impressed by Toby Alderweireld.........

These journalists are ****ing amazing at getting secret info. Should work for MI6 or some ****.

 

Dembele Replacement Watch
France Football are reporting that we've opened talks with Taurine FC Salzburg for Amadou Haidara, which must piss off Taurine FC Leipzig no end as they called dibs...

 

Thora Feckin’ Hird - showing your age there, Brian!!

 

Villa supposedly set to have a meeting to discuss whether or not to sell Grealish.

Could be a win-win for us.

Decide to sell and we (hopefully) sign him.
Don’t decide to sell, go into administration and we eventually (hopefully) get him for peanuts.

 

As northern as a Whippet in clogs feedin' t'pigeons. A woman who was born looking 70 years old.

 

From what I've read, that shouldn't take long. They're ****ed. Terry couldn't get out of their fast enough. When the rats start leaving, the ship is definitely sinking.

 

Haha - you’re right there - I can only remember her looking that old even when she must have been 45!

 

Both have a common love of stair lifts ??

< never seen them together in the same room ... >

 

Me and my brother fitted a second hand Stannah we bought off Ebay for our mum. They're a ****ing nightmare. Got it to work, though. Within 3 months she was in a flat.....

 

After seeing in 1984 that legendary scene in
Gremlins, I cannot trust the things.

 

nah...it's fine mate...as long as you don't drink water on one after midnight

 

I see potential for a player announcement here...

 

Things are hotting up in our bid for Alejandro Grimaldo - people are breaking out radar diagrams!!!
