A new stadium for us will easily be closer to a billion dollars ala Spurs stadium, I’d imagine. They won’t spare any expense if that’s the route they go. edit: I also just looked up the newest football stadium in America, SoFi Stadium and that cost 5.5 billion. So yeah a new one for us is going to run at least one bill easily.

£165m to get Brighton’s midfield from last year.

Why is this not on American Amazon Prime?!

Agreed.

Totally agree.

For local fans, absolutely. But we've gone through the ether on that and now we're into the corporate world where a stadium needs to offer far more than that. Also as an aside for fans, we're about to become a world wide club and people are going to travel from all over the world to come see us play on our patch and it needs to offer more than what the normal match day experience is for locals. It may feel wrong but it's the reality of the situation now unfortunately. The way I personally travel is that I would do my utmost to have an authentic matchday experience in line with what y'all do (and hopefully with y'all) - the drinking in a local until ten minutes before KO and then getting to my seat - but is that what someone who is flying in from Tokyo craves? Someone from the Middle East? It's hard to accept but we're going to have to eventually, the club is going to become a brand ala Man U/Tottenham/etc and not just for us.

Hard pass.

Didn't Turner start a bunch for Arsenal in preseason? He's off to Forest isn't he?

I very much hope so.

It’s also not just about a capacity number. It’s about the quality of the stadium. SJP is an old heap. They’ll want a shiny new thing with corporate boxes and places you want to spend your money at in the stadium.

Now that Chelsea have replaced Kepa, Ramsdale is comfortably the worst keeper for one of the top teams.

Surely he starts over Ramsdale? He’s a better keeper for sure.

We can pitch it as 24/7 coverage due to our time zone differences @AyeDubbleYoo

Interesting timing.

Hire me too please.

I thought Jackson looked really useful in preseason to be fair.

But yeah he stays. Big pay day next season.

Has he ever even mentioned it? I reckon we care far more.

Hell yeah

I know that “touting” is illegal over there but so is scalping over here and we have second hand seller apps like VividSeats and SeatGeek. Are those things over there at all or is that illegal in England too?

He wouldn’t give a fuck at all. And he’s the wrong side of 30. The pace of the Prem would eat him up. Plenty of dudes have gone to Chelsea to supposedly be their best player and elevate them but you can’t do that at that club.

I’d love for him to go to Chelsea to keep the crazy train running. The longer they sign people like Neymar, the longer they’ll be a joke and outside of the top 4.

Yes please. I’d love to see that circus come to town.
