Warlock not fancy one last hurrah?

Juve's is one that sticks out for me. Imagine the fume if we came out with a semi double lined N as our new logo? Guess it would have to be a small 'n' to be like for like but jesus, it's as basic as you get.

This the same Ademola Lookman that Everton didn't fancy a few years ago?

Every man and their dog constantly tells us that football is a results business though.

I know a few where I work that do this when they're "Working from home"

That says as much about your workplace as it does your colleagues

It's a good point tbf

 

Tuchel ended up at Bayern, Potter recently turned down Ajax and is linked to every "big job" going in England. Poch won't have any trouble finding work.

 

If McKenna believes in his own ability he's probably thinking he'll only enhance his reputation by going there, even if he gets binned within a year the narrative could well be "Same old crazy Chelsea!" rather than "McKenna in over his head".

Nor should he. He did well at Spurs and finished thos season incredibly strong with a very disjointed Chelsea squad. I've no idea what Boehly expects.

You clearly haven't focussed enough on Mateta's ability to hit the target.

 

Factor in some improvement with a full preseason under Glasner and rationally deduct 2 years from his age for the time spent under Roy and I confidently predict a 45 goal season and value of *reads up thread* 180 million this time next year and plenty of time to improve further 

I know you're saying that tongue in cheek, but do you get the feeling that Mateta is a one season wonder or something has just clicked and he's going to bang them in for a few years?

Sign for Chelsea and you're financially sorted for the rest of your life or stay with Ipswich on a relatively poor wage and potentially never get an opportunity like this ever again. You can see why the likes of him would jump at a chance like this.

This is just missing some quotes from Sir Alex calling us absolutely all sorts and we have a full house.

Doubt they'd be dead if the Cloudflare page is appearing, gotta pay for that I believe.

Why is Kompany linked? Burnley were absolutely horseshit in the PL this season.

Why even name their positions?

The amount of shots I took as a kid because I wanted to be Laurent Robert.... 

I'll never forget my grandads face when he and my dad got back after that Spurs game. Genuinely thought he'd just seen two of the best goals he'd ever seen at SJP.

Hadn't thought of that. Either way, howay Southampton 

Barnes v West Ham for me. His first touch to give him the space was really, really good. And then there's the strike.

We'd all trade places in a heartbeat, but Bruno's life:

Run more than anyone in the PL over a grueling 10 months > fly to Australia > fly back to England (presumably) > 10ish days off? > fly somewhere in the USA > play Mexico in f'ing Texas on June 8 (central time) > play the US in Orlando on June 12 (eastern time) > 10 days of training camp somewhere (California?) > three Copa America group stage games in LA, Vegas, and SF in a week > QF in Arizona > SF in Charlotte > final in Miami > 10 days off > join NUFC for Japan? > repeat long season

 

Maybe he skips the Japan tour if Brazil go all the way to the final, but either way it's pretty relentless.

I'd trade jobs in a fucking heartbeat

If forcing some of our stars to play 45 mins in Aus means our transfer budget is a few mil better off, then so be it.

Crystal Palace....

People love calling out an over reaction like  

I guess they're two players we'd be happy not to be able to register if the right signings become available. Bit weird how they've been specifically called out though, although I assume a journo has gone fishing to create some sort of narrative.

Poor Alex Murphy

Where are you going? 

To watch Bruno play CL football next season, where he belongs. He's too good for us and the Europa Conference. Really hope he stays but would be one of the first world class NUFC players I'd be okay seeing us lose. 100 million is a lot.

Farewell, sweet Prince

Seen Southampton get compared to Brighton a few times on here, but it was nowhere near the same level or calibre of operation.

Not sure anyone from the outside looking in can say how big each operation is tbh. Bet there's loads going on that even superfans of each club aren't privy to.

That’s lowkey a very good squad 

How many times has that been said about the Dutch though? They've been the biggest underperformers for what seems like multiple generations now.
