If Howe's already had his ear he'll end up here, no bother. SJP was rocking when he played for Watford up here n'all so he'll have that memory working in our favour.

Haha, the fuckas took two Jumbo Jets to the USA America for the cash cup

Their one from a couple of weeks back with a host I've never heard from before having a conversation with Henry Winter was terrific. It bore absolutely no relation to any other TF podcast ever recorded.

Sure Maresca who has found himself tying himself up in knots shunting his best player all over the place because he wants to play all 3 of Lavia, Caicedo and Enzo while not changing his system too much will be delighted with another number 10. Fuck Chelsea. Cunts.

Chelsea's striker options aren't great tbf. I know TCD is a big fan of Jackson, but as a top level striker he's a bit shit really. They beat us to Delap, maybe they are thinking they can deploy Pedro alongside him, same way we would do with Isak.

We've apparently liked him for weeks but yet to agree a fee which is the key bit. As Howe said, you need to move quickly to secure good players as there'll always be others sniffing about. That doesn't mean Chelsea wouldn't have swooped in had we agreed on a number or JP might stall on personal terms, but it's frustrating we can't get over that key hurdle. I'm worried we're so PSR burnt that we want to engineer the perfect deal, even if it takes us deep into the window. This year is going to be tough, I think it's imperative we get off to a good a start as possible. This is exacerbated by Howe's standards meaning players need bedding in time - preseason is a fantastic leg up for that process.

That just shows he hasn't featured there much so far in his career though, right? I think there's a bit too much of a focus on positions rather than the roles the players play and what they're being asked to do. Just because a player starts on the right, doesn't necessarily mean he is going to be playing as a touchline winger. Two examples from this past season were Morgan Rogers at Villa who featured on the right in a good number of games for them, despite having not really played from that position before, and it was the same with Desire Doue at PSG. Both right footed attacking midfielders that had the freedom to find spaces to impact the game from that right side.

Depth? Seriously?

Thread title change imo

Few Chelsea journos confirming their interest now. Watch his price shoot up.

Thread title feels a bit out of date now. Chelsea can get lost, such a hateable club. Always doing shady, dodgy things.

To be fair to him the last time he was actually right about something it involved a transfer from Burnley

He's on the Carling then. Similar.

I don’t want to actually have to listen to it - could you give us a clue?

1M empty seats in the group stage. Glorious. https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/45603259/club-world-cup-sees-1m-empty-seats-group-stage

Palmeiras vs Botafogo has started off really well. Benfica hopefully sending Chelsea home later. England vs Germany final in between too. Decent day of footie if anyone wasn't aware!

Does this come after skys “27m rejected” headline?

I think that'll end up being a good signing. They need six or seven more of that quality to give themselves a fighting chance of staying up.

They’re just professional liars tasked with getting online engagement from the gullible As long as people keep reacting they’ll keep posting lies. It’s how they earn their living

Can we please stop citing that bald nonce like he's a credible source. We may as well post Frank Chippa or Burnsie tweets

Aye
