    There really should be a series of interviews with players where they all clear up a few things
    *Correct pronunciation of their name
    *Best formation
    *Best position

    The traditonal number 10, died several years ago.

    I'm on board with the name pronunciation thing. De Bruyne has been here forever and the commentators still have three or four variations on it.

    Firmino is the one that does my head in. Read it, folks. Read it and say it. Thankfully Ralf Rang Nick has left the building and reduced the number of phantom Ys knocking about.

    The other day I said 'Chukwuemeka' for the first time out loud, and said Chookw-Emmicka. My Chelsea supporting mate had no idea who I was talking about and finally said 'Oh, you mean Chuckoo-i-mEAker?'

    No idea who's right, but my one's better.

    That signing did catch my eye for the fee and his scoring record to date but he should flourish under such a talented man:



    The yank Lampard, absolute fuck all substance.

    Andreas Schjelderup joining Benfica for €10m. FM legend, they’ll probably sell him for 7x that in a year or two.

    I followed him on Instagram about six months before FM came out.

    They'll need to shift Chamberlain, Keita and whoever else's wages off the books in the summer before bringing any other 'big signings' in, which, unless they are paying him a relative pittance, makes the Gakpo signing all the stranger.

    How can you say you just need to wait for players to get fit, when you have 4 or 5 attackers out injured and have just bought another attacker?

    Chelsea now trying to sign Noni Madueke.

    Another talented but terminally injured "forward-but-not-striker" seems to be exactly what they need.

    Exactly, it makes no sense either way you look at it. You either had Ł30m or so to spend and bought a forward instead of the needed position, or you spend nothing because you're waiting for players to come back fit.

    Well they do need wingers for Potter’s style. They only have 3 at the club and Pulisic/Ziyech are shite and sound like being sold.

    Looks like they’ve bid €100m for Mudryk get a midfielder and right back in ffs

    As long as squad costs aren’t higher than 90% of revenue then UEFA don’t give a fuck about FFP. They will spend a few hundred million still with ease.

    Apparently Havertz, Pulisic and Ziyech are all out the door in the summer so that recoups money anyway.

    How are Chelsea getting this past the admittedly toothless fair play regulations? Or aren't they, and they'll just do a Wigan in 2006 when they blatantly breached the salary cap by loads to stay in Super League (in this case get European football) and then just took the meagre points deduction the following year? I suspect other clubs would have been doing this seven year contract wheeze if it was a genuine workaround.

    In an era when PSG and City can essentially print their own money, sorry, sponsorship contracts, I don't think the idea of FFP actually exists. All the authorities are generally worried about is existential risk, so if it's just tons of cash being poured in without it being loaded onto the club in debt form I don't think they give a fuck [and even if the do they have no way to stop it].

    They way to fight it is be smart [like Brighton] and just fleece the idiots for all they are worth. In the grand scheme of things footballers are ten-a-penny.

    Because it barley exists and majority of their signings are spread over how ever many years. The reason they didn’t pay for Enzo Fernandez is because they need to pay it in full to activate the release clause.

    Mudryk is working out at €10m a year if the add ons aren’t met. It’s fuck all. A lot of their signings will fall under youth recruitment or whatever too which gets written off for FFP
