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.

Could be a transformational signing for us. Could also be a massive flop. Could also not sign for us. Looks good on YouTube mind.

Puke saying we’re after the Brexit double of DCL and Bowen

With Lascelles out until Christmas and Trippier looking far less assured of his place, this would be a great time to change it

9.45am GMT But as we’re currently using BST you’re probably best watching at 10.45am.

I think best realistic case scenario summer is an outlay of c£150m, with us recouping £40m/£50m through a few sales. Still think we’re looking at something along the lines of: Marmalade-vili, Tosin, Kelly, RW (MGW), young RW (Rowe?) Striker.

Spurs just landed, two hours to go for our lads.
