The new rumour/paper talk thread

Recommended Posts

Clearly the last one was very popular and I know for me it was something I enjoyed reading on my way to work. It only generated a few pages a day and any of the rubbish comments can easily be ignored but all the information is kept in one thread which is much easier.

 

Anyway, to continue where we left off, Keogh from Wolves was heard by someone. I say no, we don't need him and I think there are much better options.

Now where was I? Oh yes, Coventry City are in deep financial trouble still and some players have been told they might be sold, apparently. One of them is Martin Cranie, CHDAJFU?

 

Yes. They're screwed. SISU won't sell for anything less then a profit on their initial stake yet the club needed an 8 million cash injection recently just to stave of administration.

 

They are only heading one way.

How is Cranie doing? Haven't paid much attention for a while. Lukas seems like a decent player and as a saints fan would give his all.

Thank **** we avoided SISU.

Rated quite highly by Cov fans tbh, has settled into a decent little player there.

 

Can't see him ever being more than an average championship defender though.

Who would we see Crainie as a replacement for? We look 'ok' across the back and don't see Crainie bettering it.

 

Well as I said I don't know what his quality is like. I still think we need a CB and maybe a RB depending on how much faith we have in Richardson.

would he be happy with only 45 minutes every week though?

 

Seems unlikey that Jaidi will play more than once a week. Even that got too much for him towards the end of the season and with another year I think we will really be picking and choosing his games this year.

How lucky we were to have escaped SISU.

 

The only hope for Cov at the moment is a consortium of local businessman headed up by an old club chairman. SISU are not wanting to know though, especially as the best offer they can muster is to take on all the debts and liabilities for £1.

Blimey - Leicester sure are signing a lot of top players - they will be difficult to live with this season.

 

Wonder what they are paying in wages for him too. Leicester are really throwing money at going up this season aren't they. They can't be far off buying a whole new team now, they have replaced all their back 4 and keeper now.

Koncheskey is on 40k/wk apparently.

Leicester signing Konchesky.. 40,000 a week wages. Christ, Leicester will be bankrupt soon surely?

**** or bust indeed....and how on earth Konchesky warrants 40k a week is beyond me. Total waste of a good wage.

Spend it all now before the new spending rules come into play and they won't be able to. Is Satsumic still the Leicester owner or did he bugger off to Sheff Weds??

That doesnt prove that he is on 40k a week, and ill be surprised if he is...he's not that great.

 

He's played in the Premier**** for quite a few years, last club was Liverpool, doubt if he was on small bucks there...probably wouldn't want to take a massive pay cut to move so I'd say the 40k is believable...

I'm not saying we should be in for him as he's over priced but today's back page lead in the Western Daily Press is about Sven's Leicester City pulling out of the race to sign Maynard after having bids of £3million and £4.75million turned down by the City chairman.

 

I think it's safe to say we won't be in for him.

Bristol City might be having a change of heart if Maynard decides he wants to leave and wont be signing a new contract next season. They must be pretty sure he will sign a new extension to his contract otherwise they are playing a dangerous game.

Fish Mills just said on Twitter he hasn't traveled to Switzerland with rest of the squad, could this mean he will be off?

 

Almost certain I would have thought. Pretty strong rumours he's training with other clubs (PNE i think)

Leicester continue to sign expensive players I wouldn't want. On paper Konchesky looks alright, but he's been poor for a long time. I'd rather have Harding and a bit of team spirit, fewer money grabbing ******s.

 

Leicester will have a team of big egos on big money not giving two ****s about the club.

 

Amazed anyone is still jealous. Perhaps short term success will come, but look at it objectively, we're signing players who may well be decent top flight players, they're on the way up, hungry and determined. Leicester are signing players on the way down wanting to cash in.

 

Sven has just recently spoke to Owen Crockgreaves agent's too.......apart from the fact that I don't rate Sven as a football manager (everything since that Italian fluke has been a failure) I really don't like this approach to running a football team a la Chelski, Man ****ty etc. etc. and I hope it falls flat on it's expensive face....

 

Feel sorry for the fans though, they'll all be labelled as glory hunters now..
