Can’t believe that Ekdal is being written off,the first time I saw him he reminded me of Tony Adams at his best ,and is on a par with the other Centre Backs at bringing the ball forward,still the MB always needs to pick on somone.ie Roberts,Foster ,Cork,JGM ,Muric et al.

Lazio and roma reported interested
With no trade-in we can maybe get a discount for cash? Does McNally speak Italian?

I’ve seen 5m now and 5m in gauranteed add ons over the next two seasons. It’s Fabrizio that is quoting these figures
Insane money for a 24 year old whose best season was 9 goals contributions in 40 games.

A Coventry fan put a tweet up of the 12 clubs Footballleagueworld said Gyokeres was signing for.
They never once mentioned the club he actually signed for.
A nonsense site of the highest order.

I think the £10m includes his mate Cheech

If there is one area we are strong it is CB. I would be much happier to see us looking for a quality striker or two. Currently we look a million miles away up front. Barnes was our best striker last season and has not been replaced. If WW is his replacement then we are in for a long season
It's the 14th July.

Luca Macanalli.
Seriously, if we marketted him as Luca Macanalli, he'd likely be worth £3 million more.

Chong has just gone to Luton for 10m. He’s worth 2-3m at best
Well that's money up in smoke then.
We should be in for Cheech.

Ekdal is being frozen out ?
Ekdal was used in the photo shoot for the new kit release, clubs tend not to do that with unwanted players
Some wild conclusions being jumped too as usual

Can’t believe that Ekdal is being written off,the first time I saw him he reminded me of Tony Adams at his best ,and is on a par with the other Centre Backs at bringing the ball forward,still the MB always needs to pick on somone.ie Roberts,Foster ,Cork,JGM ,Muric et al.
Ekdal is an extremely talented player........he's going to surprise a few this season. IMO.

To save time, a lot of anxiety and guesswork next pre season, just copy and paste all the 121 pages of this thread and you still get the the same result at the last page....i.e... not a lot happening!
