My mate, who works in the Brazilian waxing parlour on Narborough Road is ITK.

 

She says this transfer is a hair's breadth away from being completed.

This click bait is a day early; April 1st surely is the correct date.

Someone forgot March had 31 days, not 30?  (I can't blame them that much - I did too!  )

Ah the Daily Express beloved rag of semi- senile old men. Sainsbury's has one million unread copies held in reserve in case they run out of bog roll.

Iborra type player not really suited to our league

[StriderHiryu]

I could see Coutinho coming here on loan for a season, especially if Maddison was sold. Seems like a player that desperately needs to resurrect their career and given that Rodgers was the one that turned him into a superstar it might be the only option left in town. He's on reported astronomic wages which probably only Premier League clubs (and only those in Europe) could afford. If we do end up in the Champions League next season (big if given Corona virus), then he's the sort of player you need to keep you challenging for those spots.

 

Most likely though it's his agent using our name to drum up interest.

 

Regardless it shows how much progress we made before the season stopped that we're linked to players like him instead of the usual "West Ham, Everton and Leicester linked with lower half of the league Ligue One player."

 

PS: Hope everyone is coping well in these trying times! Crazy days indeed.

I’ve heard man united have dropped out of their £180 million swoop for Grealish and Maddison after recent events. They are now only willing to buy Maddison so expect a £179 million bid anytime this summer.

Phillipe Countinho is foaming at the mouth at the thought of learning off Demarai Gray

We’re going to spend big in the summer and all being well this will be our starting line up next season!

Soyuncu or Umtiti will need to make way for the best CB in the league, Jonny Evans - our rock.

There's such a thing as too many new signings.

[Foxes1]

Apparently been linked with a summer move for Olaf Pirlo.

No Pirlo

 

No party

Ross Barkley would be an interesting one, good player who I think is treated harshly especially by the media trying to portray him as either the next Rooney or Gascoigne

To be honest, Coutinho and Telles are the only two players from that that would improve our starting 11. 

 

Umtiti is class as well, but never coming here and we don’t need a centre back for the starting 11 but someone who can take over from Evans after a year/2 of nurturing. 

Have we ever had a Brazilian play for us?

[ramadaone]

Carvalho ?

Barkley is very over rated. I wouldn't take him on a free.

Done deal ?

We’ll have various plans in place, which will dependent upon what happens with the Premier League. 
 

I’d like to think we’ll make 3 or 4 signings at most. 
 

Carvalho seems logical if I’m honest. 

Coutinho on loan would make sense. No way we pay more than £80m as a big up clause for him though. Maybe £20m-ish for a season long loan for the Champions League? 

 

Then another CB to replace Wes. 

 

We also need another central striker in my opinion. Unless we shift Perez there? 

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Not that enthused by Carvalho tbh, can't put my finger on why.

 

Might be because he was perennially linked to West Ham, I've never actually seen him play.

What he lacks in brain he makes up for in physicality. Gotta get a balance.
