Transfer Rumours transfer thread fact and fiction

Sounds like a very poor bet, but how did you calculate it?
Basing it on refereeing decisions would've made a poor bet a ridiculous one.

 

With such poor odds, it makes me think SD deliberately wanted that Avatar of Vardy kissing the PL title.

 

I conceded it early after witnessing Alli do a few dives in a short period. Not aware of any blatant Vardy dives.

 

I didn't know that would be the avatar.

 

Who was watching Leicester, though? They were as boring as **** and spent virtually the entire season solidly in mid-table.
Vardy still got 20 league goals and they probably spent about a minute on each game on MOTD!

 

True. My focus was on Dele. I thought he would have grown up and learned from the previous year. I conceded cause I was pissed off with him. I should have demanded some proof.

 

Alli's got a reputation and he'll get booked more than Vardy, regardless of his actions.
I think that he got two cautions for it last season out of the nine that he picked up, while Vardy didn't get any and was only booked three times.
There's far more focus on one of them, but he can't complain too much about that, in my opinion.

 

Has anyone notified his friends and relatives?

Modric to Inter could actually happen.

Real supposedly chasing Thiago from Bayern.

Meanwhile, Perisic has posted a photo of himself, Brozovic and Vrsaljko with the caption "who's missing?" along with the Croatian flag, tagging Modric in the photo.

Inter copying our former approach of stockpiling the Croats it would seem.

 

Not after what Perez said.

 

His wage will always go up.

 

L'Equipe are reporting that Saint-Etienne are interested in signing GKN

When hearing that an opportunity for a left-side player might be available soon, Anthony Georgiou couldn't hide his delight...

Did we announce who was in our 25 man PL squad?

 

Rabiot Watch
Oh bloody hell, here we go again...

L'Equipe are reporting that he's rejected PSG's offer of a new deal, something which is a tad problematic as he's out of contract next summer. Hmm, if only there was a way we could take advantage of this, which would also add some new blood to the team as soon as January rolls around...

 

IIRC it doesn't need to be finalised until the end of the month as Europe window is still open

 

Place your bets for when it becomes official that Janssen won't be part of it...

 

Rabiot would be ideal.

Unfortunately I think Barca are sniffing around him and he will probably end up there.

 

He's probably been tapped up already. Can't be too many teams that would offer him a better overall deal than PSG.

 

I've seen Juventus linked with him too (although you have to scroll through a few Saltypudlians saying how great it'll be when he joins them, still failing to see they're exactly the same as the Man Utd fans they claim to hate)

In other news...

Oh **** Off Marseilles Watch
Llorente's agent approached the persistent irritation that is Olympique Marseille with an offer to take his client on loan for the season, with OM looking for a striker to cover Kostas Mitroglou while is capable of linking up with Dimitri Payet, Florient Thauvin and Clinton N'Jie...but they decided to look elsewhere, because apparently the club exist for the sole reason of being a pain in the ass every single summer.
