How reputable is this rag?
South Wales Echo … so it’s a proper paper at least, Birmingham Mail equivalent for down there.

If Emi goes - & I think this might be a big if as we're getting into the CL - then Bayern keeper Daniel Peretz who's pulling up trees on loan at Southampton would be a good bet.
If he's that good he'll surely be replacing Neuer who must be nearly 50 by now

They listed algy as the sexiest man in Wrexham, even after Ryan Reynolds came to town.

Why would Konsa move? Starter for a top 4 side, starter for England?

4th in the league and semifinal of Europa League and some people think it's a good idea to get rid of one of our established central defenders,Konsa,or his fellow defender,Pau.
Wolves are paying the cost of selling their best players.
Sell fringe players like Buendia ,Guessand or Garcia if there's a desperate need to find some money.

This makes me laugh when this is said. No one thinks it is a 'good idea', people are just aware that financially sacrifices are often required in our position, and people just ponder who that could be. That's it. I doubt anyone actually wants Konsa or Pau sold.

AC Milan’s interest in Red Bull Salzburg’s Kerim Alajbegovic, who is being chased by Aston Villa, is deemed ‘serious and concrete’ ahead of the summer window.

I was listening to The Totally Football Show European edition today and the German correspondent was talking about Freiburg, he mentioned their keeper would be well suited the Premier League and expected him to move soon.

Damnit, clearly bollocks then. The Fenerbache supporter at my boys’ school has been sporting their new tracksuit this week*. Tidy move, he’d got his winter fenerbache gear sorted (fenerbache woolly hat, one of those big touchline coat things), and goes with the classic Fenerbache shirt, dark blue Bermuda shorts, and Fenerbache flip flops in the summer. So the new spring collection finishes that off really, assuming he also reuses it in early autumn.

Cuts a suave and sophisticated figure on the playground. No way I’m competing with that.


* to be fair if I was in the market for some Fenerbache sportswear, the tracksuit top would be my choice - it’s dead nice.

I suppose it will depend on how personally happy Sancho is here as its not as though UE has him firing on all cylinders .

It shows how little interest I have in seeing Man City wallop everyone in sight, Bernado Silva has been there years and I have no idea at all what sort of player he is, only that he always seems to play in most games.

Same. I'm like that with most football. I saw people on here giving Ugarte the bird the other day and it struck me that, though I knew his name (and that he's from Uruguay because I'm a sucker for Uruguay), I had no idea what he looks like, where he plays, how much he cost or whether he butters bacon rolls. It largely passes me by.

Are you Leon Bailey?

WalesOnline reporting we're highly likely to sign Harry Wilson on a free in the summer.  Relevant bit here:

Quote from: WalesOnline
Wales star Harry Wilson is ready to join Aston Villa on a free transfer this summer.

The attacking midfielder has been a long-term target for the Villans and they believe they are set to win the race to take the 69-cap Welsh star. Villa boss Unai Emery wants to add to his attack ahead of next season and believes Wilson would suit his team's style of play.

And it will give the 29-year-old the European football he is desperate for, with Villa on course for a Champions League place.

Wilson has not signed a new deal with Fulham and becomes a free agent in June. He has been considering his options due to his desire to test himself regularly in Europe, something Marco Silva's men have been unable to offer.

Now, while it's understood Wilson will wait until the end of the season before announcing any decision, he is expected to move to Villa Park, especially if Villa secure a place at European football's top table. Villa are willing to double the 29-year-old's wages, with a deal worth £100,000-a-week.

Would be a good signing, as he can play 'number 10' and on the right.

He's also a 1-4 goal scorer across his entire Premier League career, while being at Fulham.  Which is pretty solid (if unspectacular) for a wide midfielder.  This year he's obviously 1 in 3, which has dragged his average up, but he's not on to go an entire season with hardly any goal-scoring contribution.

Honestly, though, can't say I've ever really noticed him when we've played against him.  Not sure if that's a particularly bad thing.  Will be paying attention this weekend, obviously.
