Yeah he was definitely hit and miss but he was a 23 year old lad who had moved to a new country, didn’t speak the language and was battling a gambling addiction at the time. Hopefully a year under the stewardship of Howe and we’ll start seeing the player that we thought we were buying.

Think they’ve done a decent job for a temp shop there, regardless of the horrific KID’S sign.

If Trippier going means we can make Bruno the “on field” captain when Lascelles isn’t playing then it’s a sacrifice worth making imo.

Ok.

Imagine it’ll be generic one or two local away games, maybe one game in Germany at the Adidas camp, two in Japan then Sela cup.

In general, not just this shirt.

I think this is the genuine kit fwiw.

A crest on a patch looks horrific like.

You need to pay the £9.99 a year to get rid of those ads like

If he’s happy to be one of the big money brigade and play the occasional game for Chelsea then that’s his call. Hopefully he sees us as a place where he can become an international footballer and he wants to progress with us.

O rly?

Yep. Offers of any sorts for the following and they should be off: Dubravka Lewis Targett Almiron Hayden Fraser Wilson Plus those out of contract can all go: Ritchie Dummett Karius Hendrick Sure I’ll have forgotten some.

Yeah clocked it was bollocks as soon as I posted it d’oh

Would love to get Tromso. Went there a couple of years ago to run the marathon, phenomenal place. Bit of a ballache to get to mind. Their 3rd kit at the time was a scannable QR code that linked to amnesty international or something similar. Sure they’d love it if we rolled into town

Apparently he’s got 1 year left on his deal and not expected to sign another. I think this one could happen. TBH if he’s happy to sit on the bench for 90% of games and start the carabao cup then it’s not the worst deal in the world.

If he goes, he goes. As much as I love the bloke and would want him to stay for his whole career, I trust we’d be able to more than ably replace him with the money received.

All about CDEL than DCL nowadays.

Maybe we should set up a thread for us chartered accountants to discuss this? Would be the least viewed thread on the forum but would keep us three happy

Sure we could just drop an accrual or change an accounting policy if we absolutely had to like. IIRC we’ve got a provision in for onerous contracts so if we shifted an unwanted player or two early then we might get some payback from that.

We could move on this . Do the deal on June 30th and next to no spend goes in our accounts but all the income goes in theirs.

If he’s on a 5 year deal and it’s £35m then it’s £7m a year, but only a few weeks would hit this year so you’re maybe looking £100k or so by the time the deal is done.
