Si Sunderland ou Watford pouvait offrir 10M€ pour Nkoulou avec un salaire de fou qu'on en finisse avec ces girouettes. #MercatOM #TeamOM

If Sunderland and Watford had to offer € 10 million for Nkoulou with a crazy salary get it over with these weathervanes . #MercatOM #TeamOM

 

ANOTHER rumour today? This has got to be a record.

 

Also signing Olivér Tvist, Eden Scróge, and Jákub Marlé.

 

Weathervanes are no rumour mate.

 

Yure Ehip and Bjorn Aabe Rujj also linked.

 

I feel the player's remuneration requirements could prove preventative to any such deal.

 

I like it purely for the #mercat

 

I can't take anymore rumours. I peaked too early in the summer.

 

Sorry but he really is beyond us!

 

0 chance.

 

Gawd bless 'em. Evrey one!

 

clever!

 

Especially since we've actually only signed two. Thw WO warned we could expect this. I suspect there is substance to some but others are simply kites being flown by Agents. A newly promoted team with financial resources must present a tempting target.

 

We could have an offer accepted for Gareth Bale and we'd all be like 'whatevs'.

 

This guy is amazing.

Cannot see it happening.

 

He's good. That's not the Pozzo model. Expect some once capped, promised much but delivered little, bargain flash in the pan Jonny foreigner instead.

 

I chuckled at his Wikipedia describing Hull City as a prominent European club!

Interesting. Lyon offered 7m€ for Nkoulou. (£5m)

 

Also, OM have sighned a very similar player in Nkoudou.

Yep, this isn't happening.

 

Damien DuPont..

Lol

 

He’s already training with us and the indications are it’s a done deal…

 

Think he left the summer Ranieri arrived (or the summer previous). Sure Ranieri knows about him from that time and from playing against him when Nkoulou was at Marseille and playing against his clubs in Italy anyway.

 

Ranieri sold him because he was ****.

We do business properly.

 

Didn't someone say we should sign him and some Argentinian chap the other day? There are some real ITK geniuses on this forum.

 

All it confirms is that Gino does read the forum.

 

Can’t say I know very much about him, but do feel we need more bodies at centre back anyway.

 

Obligatory YouTube video. I wonder if he will try flicking it over an attackers head. Seems to be his favourite move.

 

Just need to add Mariappa and re-assign Masina and our CB crisis is over.

 

I’m 2 mins in and it’s already repeating clips. Also “weaknesses: passing” ... Christ, not another one!

 

Definitely needed if true. A proper warrior in the middle of defence, just hope he can organise whoever plays alongside him.

 

Why didn't we sign him in the summer?

 

Because it's more fun to be lauded as problem solving, rabbit out of the hat transfer geniuses than address an entirely foreseeable problem in advance?
