Btw this isn't true. PIF are clearly bankrolling FIFA and the CWC. Where did FIFA get the $1Bn pot from? A short time later, we learn DAZN spend $1Bn on the rights. Why the hell would DAZN spend that money for the CWC? To then stream it for free?? That would get DAZN 3 seasons of CL in England and actually generate some revenue. Then we learn PIF paid $1Bn for a single figure equity in DAZN. That would make DAZN worth at least $10bn and it very obviously is not. Then of course Saudi win an uncontested World Cup bid. PIF are in bed with FIFA and bankrolling their 2 major events. Very fairly - their footballing priority is Saudi Arabia. The country and the league. So they are in bed with FIFA, not UEFA. They are bankrolling FIFA and their league and they don't really care if that also means bankrolling our rivals. That's a small price to pay for thier main objective.

Reminds me a lot of the Saudi inspired 93/94 away kit.

Yeah, but either way we might still need a better option for a 3rd CM, unless this new system is every week.

Aye, typo. I meant CAM.

The badge and the Noon latch look stupid but that's always gonna be the way now. I'm just a sucker for a green and white kit. Palmeiras. Assume it's white shorts/green socks @Shadow Puppets?

Really wish we wouldn’t do Saudi green. But if we’re wedded to it then I’ll wait to see it in real life. Don’t think clubs should be allowed grass green kits though, it’s silly.

I don’t think Pedro plays CM, he plays instead of a CM. It’s a change of system.

Quite like it, simple but effective. That in long sleeve will do me nicely.

That’s the fan version. The player version has a similar cut off collar to the home strip.

We're not in Italy, where older players do well. Stay away from Welbeck and De Bruyne – high wages, injury-prone, and slow. Trippier and BDB were needed when they joined, helping us go from relegation to the Champions League, but we shouldn't sign players like that anymore. JP plays CAM, LW, and striker, so getting him means we don't need another CM unless we sell Longstaff or Willock. We just need a RW and a CB, then we're good. A new GK if the price is right and we move Dubravka or Pope.

Chelsea are the Weyland Yutani of English football.

Lol nah I couldn't pull it off mate! Just find it odd to give a shit, and odder to comment on it publicly even though sadly that is the way for most people these day. I expressed it more aggressively as I was pissed

What do you mean by "balance the books"? I suppose the budget that the owner has set? Because I saw an estimate of how much each club was allowed to spend within the PSR limits, and Brighton was top with a £300m headroom. Unrelated to the discussion, but I think Chelseas headroom was around the same, which is ridiculous.

What’s Dwight Gayle up to? Besides rustling Brucie’s jimmies, of course.

Class.

I’m not a fan at all. Are we really making that many sales in Saudi Arabia to keep having green away shirts?

Fan version vs players version?

Ran out of money, I think. Gatehsead do seem to have been a 'boom and bust' type of club over the last couple of decades.

Yep, want to see more vets having a year or two here before they retire / disappear to Saudi or the US. KDB would have been perfect this season.

Didn't you know that is actually the 'All things Man Utd thread'.

If someone had said in his time here you’d ever see that first sentence written…

Curb your ejaculation.
