Doku, Nunes, Silva and Kovacic all starting would be hilarious. Lovely dribbling and vibes but not much end product.
Wolves have set a vastly inflated fee you say?
Someone call Todd.
Gabri Veiga off to Al-Ahli.
And it begins :drool:
He’s 21. Can probably retire at 26 and never work another day of his life.Quote:

If we get 9 figures for Salah and see the back of him :drool:
Nunes bid rejected and Eze on their shortlist according to BBC. My guy thinks he can coach the blacks all of a sudden :happycry:
Ben Doak is ready. :drool:Quote:

See they're viewing the PL as competition as they'll no doubt end up in the CL at some point. So they're trying to be coy on fees but dump all of the money at the feet of the player. The player then kicks off as they want the endless riches but the selling club don't see it, but essentially have to sell the player.
For someone like Salah the cogs must surely be turning. He may yet win the PL this season(doubtful) but the CL he wont have a shot at winning until he's 33 now. Would he go and demand the move? It's rumoured they want to give him millions per week and we know how much he was desperate to earn the big bucks here.
The problem here is you want this money at the start of the window. You want to choose your target, not choose from who is left. This lesson they should have learned only a week ago too.
Fwiw I think if one of them hits near Coutinho money again we'd sell. But I don't think they'd get away with not bringing someone big in as a replacement.
Tierney has gone to Sociedad. Didn't see that one coming.
Ryan Bertrand to United apparently :lol:
Sweet Jesus. :D
This season feels like a write-off already, and I can see 'EtH' being questioned by the end of it.
I can see him fucking off of his own accord unless Qatar get the club. He'll fucking love that, already shown with Greenwood he has zero morals.
Romano constantly using "told" as an abbreviation for "I'm told" is so jarring.
How much do we reckon Chelsea would have to pay United for the loan?
LololololQuote:

They even made the poor kid believe Eto'o played for them which is some going.
:drool:
Aubameyang, Cucurella, Lukaku, Ziyech, Azpilicueta, Mount, Havertz, Kovacic, Kepa, Koulibaly and Pulisic all gone in one window. Tuchel’s reign of transfers hell has nearly been completed eradicated. Offft.
Time for the rumour mill to go into overdrive now. Main two we seem to be linked too are Doucoure and Gravenberch. The former will apparently cost close to £70m get him this late in the window and the latter doesn't make much sense. He wants to leave Bayern because he wants to play more, yet Szoboszlai is surely going to be starting every game he's fit with how good he seems to be.
And the need for a CB goes on.
As has all of the experience within the squad. This isn't Football Manager.Quote:

Romano is making out Chelsea are trying to keep tabs on a ‘superstar’ for in attack that will be bought before the end of the window.
Leao or Musiala pls :drool:
With Lukaku out, surely you're looking at a CF? Felix?
I'm sure they could get him in on loan. That'd be a great idea.
We could always buy Havertz back from Arsenal.

I love this game.
Welcome to private equity vultures running the show.
That makes it sound like coach travel is subsidised to the tune of ten pounds per passenger per game. If so that reads like quite a dramatic response to what must equate to a single figure increase in your average Chelsea fan's budget for supporting them.
It cost the club £250k per year to do it, so I don't know why as a fan you wouldn't be insulted by the brazenness of it when the same sum is currently going on paying Lukaku to sit in his pants for a week.
Opportunity for the players get get a PR win.
"Chelsea players donate $250k to fan bus campaign"
Drop in the ocean for the club, seems such a weird decision. No doubt it will be reversed soon.
Or…Palmer.Quote:

Still reeling from putting together £130m packages for clowns such as Antony.
They spent loads of money in 2021 and 2022 and have barely sold anyone, so there probably is some sort of accounting squeeze.
Why are Wolves accepting barely more than they paid for Matheus Nunes a year ago?
Ten Haag has about the same net spend in 1 year as Klopps entire Liverpool reign. They just can't seem to sell anyone.Quote:

Harry Maguire is on the sort of money you would expect to be on if a club spends eighty million on you (obviously a wider problem than just the salary), but the silly cunt could always just take a pay cut and actually play some games elsewhere with his England future on the line.
I’d be more concerned by the silly cunt who thought he was worth eighty million quid.Quote:

Martial is another one absolutely no idea what he has done to still be at United after 8 years they should have cut their losses 3 or 4 years ago but they must have given him another contract since that point?
Phil Jones got 12 years. Admittedly, he spent the latter half of it knackered. Everton should sign him up.
The tl:dr version is Woowar piling on further contracts to protect a theoretical transfer fee that the big contracts would prevent from ever happening.
They also went through several years of wanting a new forward, to find out the audacity of the club they play for actually want a fee for them. Can't possibly pay said fee and so Martial will have to stay.
