How do we compare to Leicester in terms of attacking opportunities created? 

Nice finish last night.

Would love it if Napoli matched the fee and he goes there.

Napoli ain't matching the wages. 

The Saudi Salaries are insane.

In response to your "watch this one single game that proves his value". I know some single games that would suggest that Maxi should be given away for free.

 

Anyways given his injury record I'd rather sign Ruben Neves for the same price. There's a reason as to why the top teams in Europe are not trying to sign ASM.

anyone with a cursory knowledge would know there have been other games where he has shown an ability to compete at a high level and cause problems for the very best teams. 
 

Given the wage increase we’ve given Tonali wages for ASM are likely to be an obstacle for top teams.

When did ASM score 17 in a season? Isak did it at 21. Even that season you talk about he scored more than what ASM has ever done in a season. And that was a disappointing season for Isak goalwise.

You cited ASM goal scoring record from last season. I referred to Isak's the season before he signed for us.

£40-50m for him is probably the equivalent of selling him for £30m in Europe/PL.

Okay, let me drop to your level . Watch his goal scoring numbers for last season and tell me he's worth £50 mill. If you blame injuries, well injuries is part of the reason as to why he's not worth that much.

 

 

 

Any need? Look at Isak's season before he signed for us. He is a player who has consistently caused problems for defences at the top level.

Neves was linked to Manu and Barca for the same price to be fair

Watch ASM v Man City (H) and tell me he's not worth the money. 

Compare it to Ruben Neves though. For FFP the difference between £40m and £50m is less pronounced. I'd be happy enough with £40m. 

Also no great technicality here, just two important witnesses who have communicated that they wouldn't attend court for the re-trial. The Jury deliberated for 20 hours last time and were unable to reach a verdict. Sounds like a messy case. 

For lying? Dangerous precedent that like. 

I just hope we get Maximin value.

All I know is that Chelsea academy is a talent graveyard.

Like most academies. I bet there is higher attainment for Chelsea academy graduates than most other clubs. It may not be the best place to go if you are a superstar at a young age, but if you are a young player trying to maximise your chances of a pro career at the highest possible level, it's probably one of the best places.

Real shame and for Harvey Barnes 

It's not for Harvey Barnes. Harvey Barnes is the replacement but the money is probably for someone else. 

We might have a world leading academy in 5 years. But if you’re coming of age now, what’s it to you? 

I mean you’re going to look at how gives you the best chance of a pro career? Chelsea way ahead of us and most others.

Love this at the academy:

 

Can we change the font on that Mural please. 

Would it look better? Yes. So why not. 

Just remember to keep your fingers flat when you feed Lee Ryder. 

Also all this stuff about FFP, keep in mind the club will have known about these limitations for ages. Also keep in mind the club has been lying to journalists all summer. Keep in mind that the club have also reportedly sent out fake scouting delegations to obfuscate. 

Transfers be coming. 

So with a yo ho ho (yo ho ho)
And with a yee hee hee (yee hee hee)
We’ll win the premier league 
With big bad Jo
Miggy and Bruno
Tonalian pirates we

 

I have suspicions that may have been a counterfeit Vincenza 

He’s bluffing. 

I’d have gone for Bob Mortimer.

If that was the bid I wouldn’t call it derisory.
