I'm sorry but I can't see any NUFC regular, be it Trippier, Schär or Burn sign for Ipswich to get a couple of million more on a signing on fee. If they are sitting at bench here it's possible to get playing time but not for money. As a Chelsea fan life must be very money-centric.

TCD already made a good post but I'll reply too as your post has many inaccuracies. We've already given Trippier, Schär and Wilson one year extensions without any drama. There will absolutely not be any drama if Burn needs a new contract. Saying they would ask for more money due to FA status just doesn't apply when they want to be here and in case of Trippier already took a pay cut when he initially joined. Burn has two replacements already (Hall and Kelly), Livramento steps in in place of Trippier when the time comes. We are actively looking for younger understudies (or a replacement in case of Almiron) for Pope, Schär, Wilson and Almiron this window. I hope we can sell Almiron and maybe Wilson this window but it's not really the end of the world if really old players walk as their transfer value has already plummeted. Getting £10m for Wilson isn't that important when him being in the squad could easily be worth that in league prize money and possible qualification for Europe. Players like Gallagher entering their last year is a massive problem and should never be allowed in the age of FFP but NUFC right now doesn't have that problem. All the young core players have long deals. Instead we are happy many contracts are ending as so many of those players we simply can't move and they have no value on the pitch either and so far the important older players have been happy to sign short extensions.

Love the aggressive 'mate' at the end.

It's not really worth noting though, all those players are either old or not important without checking. We have important players that are old but if they are still good on the pitch they most likely have no reason to leave and we could always extend them without much drama (Schär, Wilson, Trippier, Burn etc.).

It’s been class. Feel sorry for you.

No reason why that shouldn’t be allowed.

Most pointless fight in history over a ball in the net.

Let Bruno take it ffs

Yup. Strong contrast with Bernardo who has twice stopped a dangerous counter to not risk losing possession.

Easily, think he’s underrated due to playing for shite Man Utd side but he’s been carrying them for years.

Decent backheel from CR7 too.

Bruno F is so good, can say it when he wears a Portugal shirt.

Portugal’s bench could win this tournament, ridiculous depth.

Mikautadze looked good but he already seems to be known as has played for Metz/Ajax.

I still kinda liked it, draw would’ve been huge. Painful flashbacks of Finland in 2021 defending a 1-0 loss against Russia in the hope of getting help from others and go through on third place.

Feel bad for Georgia, what a debut at this level.

Has to score there.

It has certainly been a strong first matchday for the minnows, Scotland are the only team that offered nothing but they had the toughest matchup against fired up hosts. Saying Europe only has the quality for 16 team tournaments is bullshit.

Wew, what a run.

Stanciu for me like.

Almost like drawing conclusions based on 60 minutes is just unnecessary.

Oof, thought that was in.

Looks off

Maybe 2-0

Boom
