The Unreliable Rumours Discussion Thread (Part 2)

Rumour doing the rounds that Leighton Clarkson is joining Aberdeen on loan

Depending on what you read, he may also be staying to provide cover for Konate.
I think (and hope) we are bigging up the Konate injury to push up the desperation from clubs interested in Nat.
Not much detail about Konates injury and really hope he isnt sidelined for more than a few weeks.
Klopp has also apparently “opened the door” for further transfer business before the end of the window.

Clarkson came on in the first half, scores a worldy and picked up MoTM.

Probably more appropriate to post in the Loan thread.

Is this a unreliable rumour? :grinning:

It may not be a rumour, but it’s fucking unreliable.

Linked with Bennacer at Milan.

We do seem to target players who we’ve faced and been impressed by in the CL so wouldn’t surprise me.

Alisson, Minamino, Diaz, Nunez.

Brozovic and Nunes links today.

I think id rather Nunes, but Brozovic is decent. His cartoon bomb tatt is a bit daft mind.

Can’t see why we would swap a Cm for a Cm though.

I think Brozovic is a really excellent midfielder, would love us to sign him. Doesn’t seem logical for Inter to let him go though, according to transfermarkt he extended his contract just a few months ago - until 2026.

some gibberish rumour for you lot to laugh at.

It feels like we are linked to him very summer though.

What about a cheeky bid for de Jong?

I will quit watching football for the year if we help Barca out of that mess they created. The players overhyped anyway, definitely not a player worth the salary he is on.

We will have him for a free and pay 20% of his wages…

Helps them out after all.

…and only give him two games, Utd home and away. With the U23’s for the rest of the year.

We have a no dickhead rule. Bernardo fails it.
