Dont believe Wirtz is on £200k.

“Then it will be here we go”

Is Samu still tearing it up at Porto?

Chelsea seem determined to not do it the easy way, which would be to buy a top top striker. If you have an effton of money, my advice would be to not have a defensive midfielder as your and pretty much the league's record signing. Buy a twenty goal a season striker. If you can afford Caicedo, Enzo, and Mudryk (sp?), all 100M plus?, you can afford better than Joao Pedro, half of whose goals were pens.

I’m all for financial controls but PSR is a rigged system to keep the status quo. Bring in a maximum squad cost (transfers, salaries, bonuses and agent fees) that can be spent by all clubs not this system where the historically wealthy/succesful get to spent unlimited sums compared to the rest. To safeguard clubs against unscrupulous owners make it a rule that only a certain percentage can be debt finance and a plan is submitted six monthly to the league to show how these debts will be repaid. If you want to go above the debt cap then you can spend owners money but this can’t be a loan against the club.

Fairs. We’re actually better than them. But we run out of legs and bodies. There’s a good chance they improve again and get 74+ points. Don’t rate Maresca mind.

Shagger’s ganning Doon the Toon

Would definitely take, very different to Elanga though. Definitely needs to improve decision making and end product but has all the talent.

Two years ago, he was great and helped seal fourth. His goals to minutes played was up with anyone in the league. Last year we had PSR issues and injuries all across the squad, so I understand him being kept, even if there was some decline and definitely long absences from Wilson. He now looks a shadow of himself, it does look like the injuries have finally taken their toll, so it doesn't look like he can contribute at the level we need.

He's a terrible option as backup striker, did you not see his performances last season?

Aaaggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

It’s not that he is a bad option as a backup striker. It’s just due to the extension is a result of a series of fucking shamble transfer failures that makes us sad

Yeah fair enough. But if they won’t win the league or CL then they’re basically still competing in roughly the same area as us. Despite signing hundreds of players. I just don’t think I’d call that a super team.

Probably should've left a year ago, but he stayed and played his part in us winning the cup. I'll certainly remember him as a cracking player on his day, but his body gave up on him. All the best.

i think he's a decent third choice striker for us. if he can play 20 games a season i'd be surprised. he's too injury prone now. but i still think he offers something as 3rd choice. a back up for Isak is still absolutely needed.

If they’re willing to sell him in the £30-45m range, I’d snap their hand off.

Better than that, what would the name Hamza Choudhury mean to you?

A tiny bit better mate.

Despite his injuries I think he's generally been brilliant for us over the years, in lean times and in good. However it seemed to look at the back end of last season that his legs had gone, if that's the case then there really isn't a decision to be made. Could turn out that he just wasn't match sharp though, so I'd trust the club to run the metrics to find out one way or the other.

Is he as good as Trevoh Chalobah?

They're about Trevor Chalobah

The players they sign are not that impressive imo. Delap, Pedro, Gittens joining Madueke, Neto and Jackson. Only Palmer is a proper top player of all of those. I'd have Barnes and Gordon over the majority of those players named. Isak obviously miles clear of them all. They just have strength in numbers but still fairly tame 11v11.

2D branded chess boards

It’s a helluva a lot of depth and quality. It’s the reason they’ve finished above us for 2 seasons mostly due to having so much more quality in depth which really counts towards the end of the season. They won’t win the CL or the league. Bur they can cope comfortably with the amount of games for the squad to requalify. It’s the number of games - especially through winter that stopped Villa finishing top 5.
