Time to start a new thread


Burnley close to signing old boy Jay Rodriquez
Think he’ll go a bomb back home

Hope you're right. He had soared to the top by 2014 and then had that horrible knee injury followed by constant set backs for the next 3 years. Had his moments last season. When he's up and about he is a very exciting player.

Dyche has a habit of getting the best out of players
Jay is a local lad so should settle in quite easily. Think maybe Voksey’s days might be numbered with Wood, Barnes and Jayrod all being ahead of him

Will Pochettino replace Zidane at Real? Massive upheaval to Spurs if this happens.

West Ham reported to be signing every player in the world

Will most likely end up with a pack of Salt and Vinegar chips and a flat Coke Zero

So with Stoke going down surely there will be a few players on the move. where will they go?

most just aren't that good but there are a few who are good enough to stay in the Prem.

Butland - Liverpool need a decent keeper...
Allen - Cardiff may sway him back to Wales after Swansea dropped back with us but would he go there?
Shaqiri - West Ham might swoop on him if Arnautovic goes
Sobhi - a good young prospect that might get a gig if he performs well in Russia
Ndiaye - although he just joined in January he looked at home in the Prem and should get a look in elsewhere, maybe a Kante replacement

He just signed a new contract but we all know that means **** all. I reckon he'll stay as its an extremely exciting time for Spurs and he's already turned downed Barca previously.

You're right though, would be a massive kick in the guts and set us back a bit if he left.

Clarets reportedly looking at Shaqiri
Suspect he’ll want too much

Whilst Butland would be an improvement on what we have (so would a 2nd hand toaster), hope we aim higher than Butland for a replacement keeper.

You could do worse than Tom Heaton
I’d he’d be looking for a move now Pope has become the Clarets number one. Heaton is on England standby but was in the squad prior to his injury.

Is he the type that would suit our style (ie, can he stop a ball kicked straight to him and not roll it in the way of an opposition striker upon release)?

Courtois wants out of the Chavs, would be a good get

Yeah read that a few times although most recent reports suggest he won't leave and especially to an EPL rival.

Money talks I know but no way we could offer more than the Chavs

14th this year. I’ve been hanging out for it as we are in the UK for the opening 2 weeks of the season and I’m trying to organise tickets.

A leaked copy of the first round, not sure how credible it is.
