    I think you're more confident than I am that we have £60m or whatever to spend without any exits.

    I can't take any of these Mike Ashley comparisons seriously. We've stretch our spending as far as we possibly can since the new owners walked through the door.

    I don't think we would have paid more than whatever we think he's worth, no. And it's possible Parish has been impossible to deal with. But outgoings to clear the necessary financial room? Very possible.

    I still think it's entirely possible doing this deal was subject to outgoings that haven't happened. I don't know how anyone can categorically say we're pathetic or embarrassing when we only know a fraction of the details. It is definitely disappointing though.

    Prices rise and all that, but £75m would make him a top 25 transfer of all time. He'd be level with VVD for the third highest fee ever for a defender, behind Maguire and Gvardiol.
  6. My son just asked me what’s the worst professional league in the world and who’s at the bottom of it? What say you?
  7. Tell them they'll be banned for next season > they sort out their issues > UEFA agrees to forego punishments since Chelsea has worked hard to be compliant

    Hope he's ok. I just feel bad for him and for us not getting to watch him.
  9. It's been 45 minutes but...
  10. You can see why Eddie couldn’t trust him last season.
  11. Seems slightly over the top. He's also been quite lively.
  12. His reaction would tell you that's something more than a bad bruise. So incredibly unlucky.

  14. We've probably been sitting on a when Miggy is sold plan for 3 months now. The problem is that plan has stalled out on step one.
  15. Not sure which of those two things would be worse news.
  16. I had resigned myself to nothing happening and come to terms with it. These new links have provided a hope that will be crushing.
  17. The actual fees were somewhat meaningless in June for satisfying that three year period. But for this and future accounting periods what @r0cafella is saying is right. Vlachodimos costs us £6-7m per year. That's more than Anderson and Minteh cost us combined, so it's now a net negative for a useless player. What's done is done, desperate times and all that. There could have been worse outcomes, but it's certainly not ideal.
  18. Not really sure how this is possible. We've been to the final and QF (could and should have been SF) in successive seasons. The absolute best thing that could happen this season is Bruno lifting a trophy at Wembley.
  19. The data that shows Premier League clubs are buying younger to avoid potential nightmares https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2024/08/27/data-shows-premier-league-clubs-buying-younger-avoid-crisis Key points: In the 2014-15 season, the average age of all Premier League signings was older than 25. So far this summer, the average age of all Premier League signings is 23. Players aged 26 to 30 have generated a total of £271 million in transfer fees paid by Premier League clubs this summer. For players aged 21 to 25, that figure stands at £970 million. More than £300 million, meanwhile, has been spent on teenagers — compared to just £58 million for those in their 30s Some numbers that show why now more than ever it's very difficult to shift the likes of Almiron, Wilson, Trippier, and Targett.
