Effectively by doing all this Chelsea have cheated their way to Europe should they get there.

Going full FM mode but I’m hoping for something like:
 

Kelly (free)

Tosin (free)

One of Olise/MGW/Williams (£50m +-£10m)

Rowe (£20m and loaned back to Norwich for a year)

Valencia keeper (£50m)

Young backup striker with a lot of potential (£25m)

 

Total spend c£150m

 

Out: 

Miggy

Targett

Dummett

Ritchie

Hendrick

Fraser

Hayden

Lewis

Karius

Dubravka

Wilson(?)

 

If we get anywhere close to £30m for the lot of them and all their wages off the books then it’s a dream scenario. Think we’ll end up subsidising a lot of their exits though.

 

Kelly 

Tosin

Dabast - £12m

MGW - £50m

Mbuemo - £35m

F Chiesa - £30m

Valencia keeper

Miggy and Wilson big departures 

I can only dream….

Just watched some of the Valencia game, the Georgian keeper is quality. Brilliant for a one on one off his line and made a fantastic save from a massively deflected shot. Got named man of the match .

If I could compare him to anyone it’s probably Manuel Neuer - without being as over confident as Wor Manuel is - he’s a quality keeper 

That RW position we have to address in the summer - good pros Murphy and Miggy - but they simply aren’t at the level of Isak and Gordon 
 

Kelly and Tosin buy us a lot of wriggle room in the market

Maybe a youngster as well

Links to Zano Dabast this week 

I think we will sign another young CB tbh - depends on European football imo

3 points against Brentford, or a draw on Wednesday and we're guaranteed at least some kind of Europe. Great position to be in. 

 

(Unless there's like a 22 goal swing between us and Man U but that's not happening)

 

 

 

We need 6 points to be sure 

(unless Chelsea drop points)

Man U lose 

NUFC win

Chelsea lose 

If next 3 results go like this we finish 6th….? Would need a huge goal swing

With 777 seemingly falling apart, I wonder if PIF will eye a bargain or two and get the multi club ball rolling

Who do 777 own?

I can't remember specifics but I can just remember being in the far sitting room with a tiny portable telly and watching with my dad. I can also remember the Sun doing a big spread of the two George's. 

Interesting that they both ended up in the PL too

Finidi at Ipswich (they were in the UEFA Cup) and Donis at Blackburn (I think)

I remember watching that match. Must have just been 8, but Ajax vs Panathinaikos in 1996. George Finidi (or Finidi George) vs George Donis.

If I remember this correctly Ajax lost the home leg 1-0 but ripped them apart in the away leg

Why is it a stumbling block?

Because your budget for the summer is gone in payment towards 1 player

Not specifically us, but the same likely applies to us too.

You have to pay the release clause in full - another (major) stumbling block

C'mon Atalanta!!! 

Would love them and Gaspirini to win it

We are so injury-suspension-fucked, I am super nervous for this match.

Enjoy it man - these are the moments you supported the club for - this and top 4!!

Longstaff - Miggy - Wilson 

Targett - Fraser - Hayden 

Should be looking to sell all above 

Will leave us with a decent pot to work with especially if Miggy is sold for £25m

Loan him out next season so he comes back with game experience. He wont get minutes with our main boys back in midfield

Zero need to loan him out - I’d rather he train week in eeek out with our mids - added to this he’s had his loan season this season with us - job done

We need to start doing it, would love tailored songs for certain scorers.

Think we will always be stuck with “enjoy the game” can’t stand it now

Did I just hear the can can after the goal  wtf

They love their goal music in Germany

Always wanted to know what the announcer says after the game - sounds great with the fans 

Just now, joeyt said:

Feel like Kane always goes that side for pens

Very Big Al like - goes bottom, Al went mid goal 

Musiala is so good

Definitely a market I’d be shopping in - so much talent outside of PSG

Watching Lyon v Monaco 

some decent talent on view -,Caqueret - Cherki - Y Fofana - Achliouche (bit of Cole Palmer about this guy)

so much good value in this league

Also from his time at Bristol Rovers (league two I know) he clearly has an eye for goal. You don’t score 8 in 21 if you can’t finish. The lad is developing well and should be a useful squad member for years to come.

Spot on - his long term future is here - given his versatility he is an important squad player - will only get better imp

Shocking end to things for Klopp at Liverpool. Pretty disgraceful actually.

Soon to enter last year 

Salah

Van Dijk

Trent

I”d be shocked if R Madrid aren’t looking at Trent as the Carvajal replacement - also Jude is his best mate 

Easy VAR decision

That's my biggest fear for Eddie and I don't want that to happen. If he was cutthroat then Almiron, Longstaff and maybe even Willock are moved on. 

The summer will tell us more about Howe tbh - it’s where it gets difficult for him because the expectations will be higher, rivals will improve - we simply cannot carry people now
