Can we not have a silhouette on the banner for a few days @Mark

And the fact that he knew him from winning the u17 World Cup squad

Very sad, thanks for the memories shakey

Let’s be honest if there was any chance of a deal happening after the initial bid, he wouldn’t have been starting against Man U

Pass anyway at 20m

Obsessed

Couldn’t give a toss on this one

Top target didn’t offend you more?

Cooper worked with his brother at Swansea and had him as vice captain and praised him as a leader maybe he thinks that his brother will be the same

Not Rudkins fault next

His agent just said ”Soulé ‘did not even listen’ to Leicester City when Roma called It was absolutely no secret that not only were Leicester City very eager to sign Soulé, but they had also offered a considerably higher sum for the transfer fee” lucky it didn’t happen, who wants players that don’t want to be here, hopefully there is a talented replacement deal waiting to go through

Matias Soule says he ‘wanted more than anything’ to join Roma this summer, despite interest from Premier League duo West Ham and Leicester. The 21-year-old officially joined the Giallorossi on Tuesday, ending a four-year spell with Juventus, during which he played just 21 times for the senior team, scoring one goal. However, the 11-time Argentina youth international impressed greatly during a loan spell at Frosinone last season, notching 11 goals and three assists in 36 Serie A appearances despite the Canaries suffering relegation to the second division. That form with Frosinone sparked interest from a number of parties in this summer’s transfer window, including West Ham and Leicester. However, it was Roma who eventually won the race to sign Soule, who will now prepare for another season in the Italian top flight. Soule ‘wanted more than anything’ to join Roma Speaking following his unveiling as a Roma player, Soule has revealed the role manager Daniele De Rossi played in convincing him to come to Rome, also insisting he ‘wanted more than anything’ to join the club over other offers. “I assessed everything before coming here. In terms of the coach, I saw how the team played last year, and how it’s changed since he came in,” said Soule (via Football Italia). “He’s really incredible. As for being here and training with him, he’s also spent time in Argentina and understands everything. He speaks Argentine Spanish, so that will be really helpful. “It took quite a few days, but I just wanted it to happen straight away. I was convinced in every regard, from the coach to the club. What I wanted more than anything was to stay in Italy and come to Roma.” Soule will link up with fellow Argentines Leandro Paredes and Paulo Dybala at the Stadio Olimpico. It will come as no surprise to learn that they, too, played a role in getting this transfer over the line. “I have spoken to them. As soon as the rumours about me coming here started, they told me about what it’s like here and how happy they are. I also asked them about it all. Every day, I spoke more and more about it with Paulo: ‘When are you coming? Come on, I’m waiting for you, there’s a free space for you’.” “Of course, it’s nice to be appreciated, but I’ll need to show it on the pitch to all the fans who have been waiting for me.”

Yet 2 of the top 6 couldn’t even maintain a stay in the Premier league

I think you just exposed your Gilf fetish, he must be 60 odd

Sly and Lestalad posted those journalist names and where they work, into a thread you have created about avoiding clickbait and engagement, that why I said I think you are getting a little carried away asking for more info on those type of Journalists it seemed fairly trivial. How would they have possibly survived 10-15 years ago reading a rumour in a national paper Fair enough, it was a question. I wasn’t aware of any alternatives that implement it. No offence taken, maybe it’s how you perceive the message is written, just offering a different opinion and you have answered those questions.

It's called Transfer Talk. I think you are getting a little carried away with asking for more information on respected journalists I understand on some of the websites that were previously mentioned, but do you really need to pre-vet guys from the Independent, and Telegraph? Some people enjoy the speculation, irrespective of whether it the transfer is completed. Most people take the links with a pinch of salt. Also, isn’t it counterproductive for a website that relies on engagement to potentially reach a point where users only look for what has been labelled as tier-one sources to engage in the Transfer threads? This is even more noticeable during the close season when nothing is really happening on the main forum. The tiering system is a great idea for the big clubs that need to filter out the crap but still have a lot of good, reliable sources that break transfers/speculation.

That’s not the only options though is it? We have a scouting department. Nixon also adds that he doubts the fee would be substantial, but Ayew may demand high wages to depart Selhurst Park.

Palace getting good young players in, shipping out the old shite

If that was the case don’t you think he would’ve gone for a slightly more impressive player

The brother of former United target John, who United tried to sign when he was at Hearts and even showed him around Bramall Lane before he made the decision to sign for Rangers, Souttar was approached about a potential loan move to the Blades in the last transfer window earlier this year, with a deal struck with the Foxes but the player's representative vetoed the idea of him moving to Bramall Lane, amid reports that Leeds United were also interested in signing him on the final day of the transfer window. In the end he stayed at the King Power and watched from the sidelines as Enzo Maresca’s side won promotion back to the Premier League at the first attempt.

Leicester City, Leeds United, Hull City and Burnley are all in the picture to sign Brahima Diarra this summer, according to Foot Mercato.

If ward starts in the prem, he is definitely agent Cooper
