Exeter keeper doing a passable Peter Shilton 1990 impression.

Vidagany is a big fat lad, like.

What will happen is Man United or Man City will win it, and their fans won't give a shit, because it is basically nothing to them, while fans of the likes of us and you, for whom it'd be everything, get fuck all * * of course we'll be alright because we'll need to be resting players for the Champions League final around that time ** ** only joking

No, that was posted on twitter this week and our CEO said it's untrue, we don't charge anything.

Much as it makes me want to puke my liver up saying it, that was an excellent goal.

Blues are putting way more energy into this than you are. They're not going to be able to keep that up for 90 minutes. 70 mins+ the quality will show.

Fucking hell.

Revenue for this season is massively up already - £70m earnings from UEFA alone in the CL this season, that's not including matchday revenue, significantly more lucrative sponsorship and shirt deals, a youth policy that generates decent revenue, astute spending, clever recruitment (Tielemans and Kamara for no transfer fee) - the NBA commercial bloke (who is a massive wanker) they brought in has the target of hitting £400m revenue asap. For years the club was run like a corner shop, and that didn't stop when Ellis fucked off, Lerner was the same, threw money at it but had zero idea how to run a football club. Finally, people who understand it, and have the money to back it in charge.

They're here for possibly as little as four months each, so it's not a multi year commitment to stupid wages. We're in the last 16 of the CL, and clearly in need of a shot in the arm. Football is for fun, fuck it, have a go at it. The alternative was what, mook about fretting about wage bills? The people running us are not stupid, they are aware of the rules Again, I keep saying this, but we are really clever in the way we move players around. We've sold two youth products twice each in the last season and a half because of clever sales deals. We've just booked, what, £50m profit on a player who wasn't even a regular starter for us, who we bought from the MLS.

gambling the house how? Three loan signings plus Malen plus we’ve sold 85m worth in this window. We’ve got plenty of money, we just can’t spend it as we want for the same reasons you can’t. The difference is we make a ton of money selling players too.

That is correct. What an awesome beard he has.

Yes, standard arrangement these days on loans with options / obligations to buy. Agree the personals up-front. Not saying it happens every single time, but i think it is the norm.
