Whenever we buy players the deals often get held up until the selling club brings in a replacement. Why we wouldn't tell Barcelona the same thing here is beyond me.

I'm a game in which he "played poorly" per the geniuses on Twitter he 1. assisted the first goal 2. had a tap in if Phil just passed the ball, and 3. dragged defenders all over opening up space for everyone else. Think we'll be ok.

Can anyone fill me in on why Scott Parker appears to be wearing a cardigan in this heat? Is this an English thing I'm not understanding or is he just weird?

We're being too clever here. It's such an obvious call, especially with Gundo leaving in a season or two.

Twist: Neymar IS the left back!

It doesn’t make sense to me either. Make Barca handle his back pay issue as part of the deal then bring him in on his actually pretty reasonable wages. It’s completely obvious yet we seem to have no interest.

God I’m getting old, you’re right. He hadn’t returned fully yet at least.

Sane also didn’t have an ACL at the time…

I know people used to hate on Raiola but can you imagine any of this happening to one of his clients? No chance imo.

Not a dig on you at all but it’s always a little funny to me when people are surprised that footballers are attracted to the idea of being young and rich in Paris.

I think some people here owe Bloom an apology.

Have to hand it to Brighton, they really extracted maximum value here. Played it exactly right.

Except the guy that's moving the Chelsea you mean.

Well yeah, it'd be a massive fucking problem.

Phillips? But yes, generally we do go after very highly rated players who are indeed expensive.

Silly money aka what we paid for each of Mendy, Walker, and Cancelo.

Glad we held firm and showed the market we wouldn't pay such an exorbitant fee (that someone else immediately went and paid). We could've looked like chumps back there.

Did you even read my post?

Shiny new toy? We have two senior fullbacks at the club. I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt for now but if we end this window without buying another Txiki and Co should definitely come under some criticism. It's ok to say we make mistakes sometimes, we're not the dippers.

For the record I am very much not relaxed.
