Summer transfer links

I read a long piece the other day re. the stadium situation (on BBC or Sky, I forget which). Basically it makes no financial sense whatsoever to go ahead with it. Originally was it £600m ? Now £1B and by the time it'd actually be finished that could be anywhere from £1.2 - 1.5 billion. Crazy. And that's the real reason why the Russian crook is pulling the plug on it. They could have Wembley for half that figure or a tad more.
I think the stumbling block is also the Chelsea fans owning the freehold to Stamford Bridge which Chelsea have tried to buy on numerous occasions.
 
Most articles seemed to describe the new stadium as Abramovich's pet project.

Perhaps financial sense wasn't the primary motivator.

Either way, glad it's not happening.
 
Courtois also looking out according to many reports.

It’s worse than that for them.

On top of Hazard & Courtois - Willian potentially off to Utd and Morata back to Italy.

Potentially a new manager and even with £150m+... to have to replace those players and have a new manager come in and not have half the first team for a full pre-season due to World Cup.

Sounds deliciously fucking tortuous for them.

Which is nice.
 
Is this thread for all links? Anyways both of the largest Barcelona and Madrid sport papers seems very stubborn with regards to their respective clubs preparing a swoop for Christian Eriksen come Summer.

Spurs is facing a massive uphill task really to keep on to their best players before next Season as I see it, and if one leaves, that could pave way for the others and needless to say we'd be a competitor short compared to last season as there is no way they are going to replace two or three of their key players just like that (Kane, Alli, Eriksen).

I'd like to keep this thread for LFC transfer links only – would be better to break off the Spurs/Chelsea discussion in a separate thread.
 
Hahaha - Clearly this is bollocks. The same report claims they have made moves for Harry Kane and David De Gea. Out of curiosity though I wonder how much he'd go for?

One word from @LFC to describe suggestions Sadio Mane is off to Real Madrid. Nonsense. He has three years left on his contract and there is not a single circumstance where he will be allowed to leave.

A lot of words to describe one word?
