Summer transfer, gossip, speculation and the usual butter ollocks thread

Wylan Cyprien linked according to Sky. French attacking midfielder, aged 25.   No, nor me.

He's pretty decent. Similar stats to Traore in France with 1 in 4 goal return. Get the feeling he's a plan B option for the long running Rashica saga.

He's more of a box-to-box, central type.

I saw a tentative link to Skov because Lange bought him before, can't he play left back if needed? Not Milner esque. Might cost a bit mind.

[mr underhill]

now he is a bit handy

Deli Ali is an interesting one, it Demonstrates that rated players will be made available by clubs as they try to balance the books. 

I personally don’t think he is what we need (unless he wants to reinvent himself as an eight) but hope that we would be a club ready to exploit these fire sales. 

[mr underhill]

i thought hey were talking about a loan only?

[Baldy]

I can't get out of my head about what must of been said to Jack to make him sign that extended contract. Yes, our signings to date seem impressive but are they really enough to make Jack stay.

I don't think so. That 'big ticket' signing is still out there and my money is on Deli Alli. That would make him stay.

Feel it in my water.

If we don't start the bidding at £3m plus Henri Lansbury I'll be disappointed

Dele Alli - strikes me as the next Steven Ireland.

Deli Alli is a quality player, but he is above our level (at least for now)

It depends on which Deli Alli you get.  The one from a couple of years ago who looked as if he could become a top class player with all the potential in the world or the more recent one who looks as if he has got his million quid and now couldn't care less.

My ex Camp Hill mate who owns the bar in the colonnade facing Nice harbour says Cyprien is very good.

Jack’s above our level and Deli Ali’s but he’s playing for us.

[N'ZMAV]

If you get the Dele Alli that's going to work hard and has something to prove then there's a good player in there

[Baldy]

Deli Alli is out of favour with the special one, will not get game time to try and impress for next Euros. His career is at a standstill.

He needs a club like Villa. Deano/Terry etc would knock him into shape.

Give him a one year loan with option to buy. Would suit Spurs as well with Bale situation.

Just a thought!!

[sickbeggar]

Cyprien looks a decent punt. 5 seasons in lique 1 aint bad, and at 25 its 5 years before he has to perform the rite of Carrousel or have the Sandmen come after him.
