    Leroy Sané

    I want him back because he's a direct pacey winger with a good shot on him and a touch of the arrogance that big-game CL-winning players have. We made a few of those (arrogant big-game players) on our own in Gundogan and in Bernardo in the end. Always felt losing him (to injury and then...

    Liverpool Thread - 2023/24

    One more mediocre EL-qualifying season for them (or lower!) will really hurt them, Szoboszlai and Mac Allister are big business for FSG. If they can't make any large sales because their squad is performing mid table they won't be inclined to invest big and will hopefully lose Klopp's interest.

    Liverpool Thread - 2022/23

    Really enjoyed that. I know Arsenal are the more pressing rivals on the league table but it's hard to root against them. I'm sure it will come with time. But knowing Liverpool are one match (against us) from going full 15/16 Chelsea is so satisfying.

    If LVG couldn't get anything out of a higher-quality side then I hate to say it but Ten Hag is in for a firm kick to the gonads at Yanited. With the resources they have they may well eventually get it right, but Ten Hag has made all of his success at one of the best run clubs in the world. It's...

    I'd love them to take some scalps on the way down. Them and the Rags.

    Everton Thread - 2021/22

    We've seen worse sides go on miracle runs to stay up, the first one that comes to mind is Sunderland 13/14 under Poyet. Everton have significantly more individual talent than Sunderland did then and DCL and Richarlison are both playing at the moment. The issue is if either of them bag another...

    The idea behind these sanctions is to create a situation where the oligarchs collectively prefer no war, and are hurting financially. This makes Putin's internal position less secure within Russia, and creates an incentive on his part (however slight) to resolve the conflict. That is "the...

    To my knowledge this kind of specific action against regime-associated individuals hasn't been attempted before. So there's no way of knowing how it will go. However, this is an attempt to isolate and sanction wealthier individuals in an effort to accelerate negotiations since the alternative...

    Sanctions shouldn't be viewed as strictly as, say, punitive criminal law. Ultimately, sanctions are a way for Western countries to create leverage over Putin's regime. Seizing property of his and his acquaintances is important to create a stronger mediation position. In this case, the hook on...

    Erling Haaland

    If this is true, think the policy of letting players leave when they want without fuss may be paying off.

    This is what's irritating me about the structure of the sanctions, it's unclear why they can't separate RA's wealth from Chelsea's operations as a club. As long as he doesn't run or profit from the club, it shouldn't matter whether Chelsea can operate as usual. Only thing I can think of is that...

    Thanks, I'll try. Would hate to see City dragged through it because of the contours of politics outside of (or inside of) SM's control.

    What a creepy start to a comment.
