elaborate on the Gordon thing?

Interesting point that. I’ve never thought of it that way.

we haven’t pissed anything up the wall since Howe has been in charge. We won’t be starting now. But we’ll only be able to have this conversation in hindsight, we’ll just have to see how the replacements do I guess. my bet is, whatever combo we go with, they beat the combo of last season in terms of a goal return.

How does it never work? if wissa and strand Larsen (for example) get 12 each next season, it’s worked. wissa scored as many from open play as Isak last season don’t forget.

see what happens with the midfield. all the noise and anger at this summer is justified, but don’t forget the hit rate for the ones we do get is as good as any in football. lets see what the next two weeks bring.

This is exactly the view. Replace the pair and get a higher goal return as a result. isak will be replaced in the aggregate.

Yep. It’s massively important we hold out whilst also making any of the current crop think twice about acting the same way. Id be amazed if the squad aren’t fuming with him tbh.

Exactly right.

They’ve got another game in about 18 hours. Don’t read anything in to it.

Sadly he’s rarely right, but that would be some move

I agree with the last line

Also, wissa seems ripe for a Saudi move in the future.

Sort this issue out down the line. who knows what happens with apt, a new ceo etc etc

as I’ve said before, fuck PSR. We have headroom this summer and we’re in the middle of this shit show. get Watkins and wissa and get the guaranteed goals (they’d outscore our pairing from the last two seasons imo) and sort the PSR issue down the line. Miss out on champs league next season and this gets a whole lot worse imo, secure it again and go from there. Watkins and wissa are the best chance of that.

Well this was nice while it lasted. Cheers James 👍🏼

Yep. It can all turn very quickly.

I’d like to think there’s a bit more to Tonali after the 12 month ban thing. I’d also like to think we’ll learn our lesson contract wise. nothing would surprise me though

Nobody knows anything about him mate, other than maybe a Milan fan on here. just back the recruitment team, their record is superb.

After the strand Larsen link I’d snap your hands off for this fucker at £50m now

I don’t have X anymore but did Ornstein credit Indykalia with a story the other day?

that was still being knocked out very recently. Great point, where the fuck are they? 😂

He’s got to stay for 12 months. I don’t care how they do it , it has to happen now imo.

the rumoured fee is £65m. if he’s our best option, we’re in bigger shit than I thought this window.

Absolutely. As is Jackson if it doesn’t work out

Not at Chelsea he won’t be
