Shortly before Forest played City in the FA Cup semi final, rumours broke about them wanting to sign MGW.

Now, a couple of weeks before the FA Cup final against Crystal Palace, rumours have surfaced that they're preparing a double swoop for Adam Wharton and Eberechi Eze.

The timing is such a coincidence. :rolleyes:

No offence to any Man City fans on here - but I despise the way your club operates.
 
Folks, as with previous cases where members have been banned, can I remind you please not to discuss the decision on the forum.

I accept some departures, especially of prominent posters, can prompt a lot of debate. But if you do wish to discuss any such event, please do so via PM.

Thanks.

It's the end of the season, these rumours are everywhere.

Maybe it is time to put the tin foil hat away?

Man Utd have been linked with 74 players in the last month. Arsenal with every striker going. I doubt these are coming from the clubs themselves, it's the silly season.

(I'd like to say Everton have been linked with plenty but sadly no silly rumours so far :()

Only 74?

Going to be a quiet summer for my shower, clearly.
 
Ok my post was a bit tongue in cheek admittedly. 😉

But I do think the concept of unsettling players and creating discord exists in football.
Most of these stories are generated by agents and have nothing to do with the supposed buying clubs.

At the next level down my Club have, in the five days since the season finished, already been linked with "bids" for half a dozen players.

Of those I doubt that there's genuine interest in more than one of those named.

Social media has meant that there's a growing need for stories to produce clicks.

Real Madrid have been doing this for decades, often using their press support Marca. It's how they get so many players to hand in transfer requests, or run down contracts.:)
 
I didn’t see the interview, so can’t comment on the context, but the comments on their own just lack any class or humility.

I used to like Arteta. As time goes by I am just finding him surly, ungracious and downright irritating. I agree there has been progress under him at Arsenal, but he can’t last too much longer without something tangible to show for it.

I think he has a small point. Arsenal were among the top 3 teams in the CL this season and had a much better record in the league phase than PSG. They beat Real home and away and were also a bit unfortunate to lose last night and played well enough to get a result.

Once again the issue is they've got nothing up front bar Saka who is still a bit off elite level. Arteta needs to wake up fast because going so close three years in a row and making the same mistake each time isn't acceptable. Trossard, Martinelli etc are very good players but they won't win you titles or CL's unless you get very lucky. He's got next season or he's done IMO.
