It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

Unless he suffers from a serious injury, I can only see him improving even more.

It can sometimes be a downfall too though can't it, He had an incredible first season at Chelsea, That's the standard he has set himself now and that's the standard that's expected of him by his supporters every season which can be very hard to replicate.

It's very much like a manager over achieving in his first season like Eddie Howe last season getting top 4 and yet its expected of him again.

If he does continue to do so then fair play to the lads, He's an incredible talent. He will go through tough moments in seasons I suppose it's how he overcomes the bad times too just for the fact that they do build you up to shoot you down in England. The lad could have a stinker at Euros and they'll throw him under a bus.

If Kevin, Alvarez and Bernie are leaving, id go for:

Olise
Let him play in the middle with either Foden, Grealish (now a midfielder), Bobb.

Savio and Nico Williams
2 out and out proper wingers. Williams is more of LW, but Savio can play both wings as can Doku.

3 proper wingers. Direct, good at 1v1s. Get creative people in the middle, with an eye for goal.

I still would like Bruno, but I have a feeling we arent getting him. Id be fine with Nunes and Jack taking over that role. Use Kovacic as Rodris back up.

Besides those positions I would personally buy Walkers back up. Either a fast RCB or defensive RB.

I think the same, I really can't see many clubs doing much business, Especially if you look at the January transfer market, It must have been the most quiet window in a long long time.

Most clubs seem to be having to sell players to meet these crazy financial rules, what a crazy situation and so very wrong.

The PL is shooting itself in the foot it's going to go the same way as Seria A did in the 80s from the greatest league to a shadow of itself if it does not act quickly.

And all because of jealousy towards City

You need 20 competitive clubs in the league and we were starting to get that.

There was and will always be a pecking order in terms of the size of club, location and fan base.

But say the owners on Crystal Palace are prepared to spend 500m in the next window and sign top players on top wages, what right has any of the other 19 clubs to say no, that's not fair and I include us in that.

If we are successful in this action it's going to make the likes of Villa and Newcastle huge competitor's in the coming decade, fantastic, that's what elite sport should be about, serious competition and a evolding and constantly improving product.

As said IF we are successful in this action that will be null and void, unless the league/independent regulator come up with another agreement.

Lenin once said that capitalists don't like competition. Once they've reached the top.

The American owned clubs want to maintain profits by lowering costs, wages and transfer fees, whilst at the same time enjoying the revenue of the world's best league. Thus increasing shareholder value.

However this short sightedness will lead to the best players and managers heading elsewhere.

By this time the hedge funds will have exited stage left.
