Random Rumours

Apparently we are looking at Kyle Walker-Peters from Southampton:


He is comfortable at either left or right back so would offer decent cover for the squad. However, if the height argument is currently being used to play Colwill over Chilwell at LB, I am not sure Walker-Peters would fare any better in this regard

He should be on that path, like Bale was, too good to just be a left back.

Apparently they'd want £30m for him.

£30m for a Championship full back.

No thank you!

 
We want Benzema or Firmino on loan according to Matt Law.

I wouldn’t turn down Benzema, he’s head & shoulders above our strikers.

Benzemas wages make the deal impossible, unless he agrees to a massive cut for 6 months.

Firmino without Salah and Mane would be another striker who does not score as he drops deep to link up, without those two to finish the job.

I would imagine he'd realise a drop in wages would be required.

Pretty sure if a loan was agreed his wages would have to be reduced, no one else would pay his ridiculous salary.  Didn't Joao Felixs wages and loan fee cost us something stupid like a million a game?  We could possible afford him, but looks like the premier league are pretty serious on the FFP all of a sudden so maybe not that easy.

 
Good news on the Striker front - Chelsea do not hold an interest in Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres, football.london understands, despite reports emerging of a £73million offer going in.

I'd be quite happy with this. Was surprised no one moved for him in the summer.

Be careful what you wish for. Benzema needs to be competing for something to make him motivated, he would be worse than Ronaldo in the Utd dressing room if we sign him on loan. Didn’t he tell Mendy not to pass to Vinicius when the latter was struggling?

If Mitrovic is available on loan he will be ideal, wouldn’t walk around with a chip on his shoulder.

Yeah me too, looks a quality player and is genuinely 2 footed, so can play both wings. Ideal for at least a squad place.

sounds like the perfect Poch player. A LB he can play on the right wing, especially as he cant cross.

They both give me that Higuaín feeling, past due, no fire, looking for a last payday etc.
