Ive seen several mentions of Neal Maupay today and a also a few weeks ago. His stats aren't great but he did play for Everton so perhaps people are assuming Frank will want him??

I think he'd be excellent in this league.

Can't see it and think his wages would be too expensive

Always has his finger on the pulse. Fully deserved.

Comes from a Everton journalist on twitter, who said we were after him and Keane

He's not a real journo

I think Lampard and Keane fell out. Highly doubt there is anything in these rumours. Besides both players would be on top division wages, miles above what we pay. Even if we did break the budgets this season I'd imagine there is far better value elsewhere, someone with sell on value for a start.

 

[Kingokings204]

I wouldn’t want maupay but some experienced heads in our team will bring us on. An experienced striker and centre back and or keeper would fit these team a treat.

Not much resale value in grimes but what a player he is for us.

Too slow and a poor attitude.

It would be like watching an expensive Godden and not in a good way.

Almost certainly, June is full of it, July no better.

Remember the days when you’d read the back pages of the tabloids and see us linked to the likes of young Dutch sensation Bolo Zenden

@Saddlebrains @Jimmy87 I assume most of the players/ Lampard are back this week or next, when's your source back? Heard anything on the grapevine? fed up of seeing bs rumours flying around

 

[StrettoBoy]

We could have a player who can play both sides as well. Which is probably what Rapha was supposed to be if he wasn’t dog shit.

I think that’s unfair on Rapha.

The received wisdom seems to be that, when he arrived, he didn’t have the stamina for the Championship and attempts to get him up to the required standard were foiled by injuries.

I think a fairer assessment is that he is unproven. We will probably discover his true level over the course of the coming season.

I disagree with him on most things but Rapha clearly isn’t at the level we need to get to the level we want, need to be signing proven players

Vast majority are back in the UK end of this week. Fuck knows signings wise etc its been quiet even for rumours

Not a massive surprise except I’d have thought we’d be in for a keeper pretty soon.

I like the bs rumours, they instigate discussion. I posted a while back that someone down the pub had mentioned (in all seriousness) that Diego Costa was approached on a short term deal. Complete bollocks but I live for that kind of shite at this time of year

if it means anything, I swear I saw Diego Costa in the queue at Torino's Pizza in the butts on Saturday night?

Why?

Why?

Couple of reasons, but it’s the position where we’ve known for the longest time we need someone in, and also there’s plenty of keepers wanting more game time.

Will they get it over a fit Wilson?

Yes. Wilson is not what we need over a full season, which is potentially what might happen if Dovin’s recovery isn’t smooth.

I can see the GK spot being covered by a loan. And thus, not being sorted until near the start of the season.

Would much prefer the new keeper to get enough time in preseason to get some cohesion with the defence.

A competent keeper alone could be worth an extra 10 pts next season.

Well, simply measure how many Collins’ howlers cost this season. Might even be more than 10

 

[Hobo]

Most of the online rumours are just click bait by desperate journalists. When they happen they happen. Rumour and speculation doesn't hurry things along.

 

[edgy]

Seen a very left field rumour of JDS being on Standard Leige's radar.

Sometimes a player takes time to settle, the lad is young and has moved half way round the world, write him off at your peril.

 

[shmmeee]

I can’t see us going into next season with just Rapha as backup for the wings guys. He’s been playing U21 consistently for a while clearly fitness isn’t an issue.
