HOUSEBOAT - Warning: tenuous links ahead!

Mirth

Or - to go back to the original discussion - if Lozano goes on to have a career like James Rodriguez, no one would be disappointed.

I don't think anyone disagrees with flobs really, the World Cup profile boost is real but James Rodriquez isn't the best player to highlight it.

flobaba

^^ Yup. Perhaps the choice of player I used as an example is ill advised, but I don’t get the huge controversy.

jones

It's not a huge controversy it's just a very bad example. Also your insinuating no one has heard of Lozano before this World Cup is off as well.

flobaba

True, true.

Gurgen

Signing players based on performances at the World Cup is incredibly stupid, but fact is football is still largely run by amateurs.

Clrnc

Like Gilberto Silva.

QuincyAbeyie

He didn't say that only bad players can have a good world cup, did he?

Might Pogba be off to PSG? Rumors of Verratti + cash deal in the works.

Klaus

Definitely think Pogba is off this summer, but I doubt Verratti wants to go to United. Plenty of talk about him going home to Italy after PSG.

BWoolley

Pogba - Verratti swap would be the ultimate Mino Raiola deal. Am also seeing some rumours in the press that we have made an offer for Lucas Vasquez? Anyone have an opinion on the reliability of said link? Way better option than Gelson Martins, if we can really get him.

Don Pacifico

Don't think we can have an opinion if we don't have a link to said rumours...

Ray

NZonzi has handed it a transfer request, would be great to have him here. Benatia too, would build a solid spine.

lorddulaarsenal

Vasquez won’t happen. Only so far you can stretch £50m

Do think Unai wants a wide forward though

Ray

If Ramsey leaves Kovacic would be an ideal replacement.

lorddulaarsenal

Yep class player

jones

I'd swap them in a heartbeat

Ordinarily I wouldn't post something like this, but this guy came to my attention last week because of this:

And of course Ornstein announced it the next day.

Klaus

Verratti is about as likely to happen as Messi, but holy shit I would give PSG half of Kroenke's club stock to make that deal happen. Best midfielder in the world.

QuincyAbeyie

He had the potential to become the best midfielder in the world, but he certainly isn't. He's much better than anyone we've got though.

goon

He's not been as good in the last year or so I've seen him. Love the guy though.

Most of these ITKs get wind of some genuine info and then use that to spout complete nonsense the rest of the time in an effort to get a following. I'd love Verratti but there's no angle that I can see where this can ever happen.

Maybe he is being offered around by PSG though with all their financial troubles.
