Fair, I get to launch it back if Joan doesn't sign though.

Why? Don't think it makes much difference tbh. He's leaving so by power or influence he may have had has evaporated.

It won't be banned as too many clubs are at it. Unfortunately it's one of things we should be doing (understand im going to pelters for this)

Maybe that's the date his contract is up?

Correct but they have a buying players addiction so nobody would be shocked if they bought another.

This is a bit of an issue mind, thanks for sharing these numbers I thought he missed a few games but 37% is a lot.

Purple in a NO context cones from Derek Llambias.

He has to go, it's either that or we renew him. Difficult bit is finding someone who will give us some money for him.

You know how we love to laugh at Chelsea, one thing they have got right is the multi club set up (yes I know this is widely hated for good reason). The fact they can use another clubs balance sheet to buy players is massively helpful and having a dedicated club in Ligue 1 to develop talent is a massive advantage for them.

Not including the dodgy long contract loophole, if you strip out the dodgy hotel deals, car park and women's team they would have busted ffp by over 300m That's on top of the inherent advantages London clubs enjoy as a baseline. Absolutely rancid but perfectly in line with what the premier league stands for.

Half of Casemiro who you ship to Saudi. Come out saving 150k per week on wages and a canny transfer fee. Who needs Wilcox, Ashworth and Berrada, hire me ill fix you right up.

Because villa and Manchester operate on two totally different financial plains. I have indeed heard a lot of crying from sir tax exile but I totally disregarded it, as his handshake doesn't match his smile.

It's funny because these comments do come up in the media on a regular basis yet players always go where the money is. If he was so desperate to play champions league he could have renewed with Marseille. No offense to you my friend but footballers and their agents will always put out stories which make them sound like money isn't the number one priority

Romano saying Napoli desperate to keep Conte and are planning big investments this summer. It's all coming up Ruben for you lot.

Why wouldn't he? Nice pay bump, nice long contract. I would be floored if he said no to them.

Only way Chelsea don't give you 5m is if they reckon they can make more money on Sancho. They are massive gamblers so I wouldn't bet against them doing it, but it they had a Braincell they'd hard pass on Sancho and his massive wage. (He also doesn't fit the wage structure they have)

Ffp swap would be canny for Manchester red. Ship off Garnacho and get Kamara. Oof amazing business for them.

Garnacho to Napoli? If Conte leaves is that a thing? Reckon you struggle to shift Sancho and Rashford given the mad wages both are on (although never say never with our daft owners) Bruno F seems to be the most likely and easiest to do especially given he already said hes will to go if needed.

Record in Portugal were linking Chelsea with Gyokeres today

Your probably waiting and hoping you can shift bruno so you can bring more players in.

Not to worry, plenty of clubs love a Chelsea cast off, ourselves included

Going to piss myself laughing when they buy 2 more strikers and he sets next to tosin warming the bench.

We have to be looking at a starter imo. We really pushed our luck this season with our lack of pace at the back.
