Maybe because the transfer window isn't open.

It ain't stoping all the stuff about Sandro Klassen Siggy etc

Koeman has said in pressers he wants forward players = linked to forward players.

Why do you do it to yourselves? A couple of tweets and you all jizz yourselves. He was clearly never coming here

One of the many reasons this thread should not be allowed to exist outside of a window IMO.

Gets too many blues worked up over nothing.

Anthony Knockaert linked for £20m :/

Good player is Knockaert! But for next season atleast he will stay with Brighton, he loves the club and they did a lot for him when his dad died so he's got a real soft spot for them!

Yep, a joke from Kurt that the transfer virgins pounced on

Be surprised if Walsh recommended him then given he was at Leicester when they got shut of him

Got injured, did his cruciate I think? Didn't recover and come back the player he was so they let him go. When he was at Leicester with Mahrez back in the championship and before his injury, he was the better player and more often than not kept Mahrez out of the side!

It's a thread made for negs.

The Sun says that Athletico Madrid is after Sandro.. Bad news - if true -

Apparently their seriously interested in Vardy?!.....

If Ross leaves, Tielemans is a must, and Klassen.

Agreed to join Monaco.

Reputable source ?

Think he's ex sky sports so will have contacts. Normally quite reliable actually....

Colours nailed to the mast re Sigurdsson - I don't think he's that good

As has been mentioned before, his assists stats look good because he's so good at set pieces, but he doesn't create much from open play. I mentioned earlier this season on one of the threads that he apparently had less than 10 assists from open play in his entire PL career before this season (I haven't been able to verify that).

He's not a bad player, but we're essentially looking for someone in Barkley's role - I don't think he's enough of an upgrade to be falling over ourselves to spend a fortune on. I just don't think he adds all that much from open play over what we have.

For a start he scores more goals from midfield. And being able to take a good set piece is a technique in itself! Look at Barkley, can't even beat the first man at corners! Sometimes with Sigurdsson a FK in a good position Infront of goal is as good as a pen cos he's that lethal. His shooting ability form outside the box is better, his link play his better in and around the box and he actually as a desire to get in the box and score and that is what Koeman is looking for for next season, more goals through out the team.

He's a better player than people give credit for....

Would really enjoy having Klaasen here - was watching him last night and I really think he could work really well under Koeman's style of play. He was seamlessly playing number 8 and number 10 in transitions last night. I dont think Klaasen would be the answer to our creativity problems and is not going to be our central number 10 - but i think playing alongside Ross or Gylfi (why on earth are people calling him Siggy when he already has a great name in GYLFI is beyond me) where he can replicate his versatility and arriving late in the box would be a real asset for us and take some of the burden off our number 10.

Agree with a lot of what your saying but we won't play with an outright No.10 under Koeman. It'll be 4-3-3 with one sitting CM (Schneiderlin) and 2 others , one from Gueye or Davies and then someone like a Sigurdsson or Klaassen, probably Klaassen and then a front 3 with a target man and wide forwards, probably Sigurdsson being one has he's done really well as a left forward for Swansea this season....
