Random Rumours

A clumsy house painter judging by the paint in his hair.
Finally someone I can identify with. Sign him now! The changing rooms at Cobham need sprucing up.

 
I would be careful with the “get the manager who he wants”. If it goes tits up, manager gets paid to go away, and some unknown players on ridiculous contracts.

I am always wary of managers who want to play a back 3 and require specialist players. Remember that one year when Pep, Klopp and others used the back 3. They all abandoned it the season after.

 
Jorrel Hato, Marco Palestra and Geovany Quenda also capable of filling in at left-back - do we need him? €11.1m for Rayo Vallecano [28].

 
“Eli Junior Kroupi WANTS to join PSG this summer. Bournemouth’s currently values the player at € 100M which has cooled the club’s interest in the deal, but the situation could change if the English club lowers its valuation.”

£100m!? the ‘next big thing’ market has exploded beyond anything rational.

Diomande with barely any top flight football under his belt for €100m+ (and Leipzig would rather keep him for another season - how bizarre is that?), Lille potentially asking for €80-100m (+ a loan back) for a talented Bouaddi, but not exactly the next Zidane.

Seems teams are now banking on their ceiling without any awareness of the floor.

 
“Aston Villa value Chelsea and Arsenal target, Morgan Rogers at £130m.

They believe that Morgan Rogers is worth more than his England teammate Elliot Anderson. Villa’s valuation also factors in the fact that Middlesbrough hold a 20 per cent sell-on clause.”

Can see why we are shopping outside the league for unknowns; though I’d rather develop within than sign average players on ridiculous 6yr contracts, and bumping their wages 10x—20x.

We've entered into Monopoly money time. An ever-inflating bubble, and a bubble, like all such bubbles, that has only one future.

 
Looks a bit better than average but a shorty. How much do they want for him?
Saw rumours they'd turned down a 9M bid from us.

So we're likely to counter with a 90M bid next.

Certainly feels like we're shopping in the bargain bin this summer.
