If his decline was ‘natural’ with age, maybe the contract wasn’t that good in the first place after all…

At the time perhaps, but why the fuck is he still there? Should have been punted ages ago if he’s of no value on that kind of wage. The fact is the people that have been running the show haven’t known what they’re doing for ages now, and it’s very questionable whether Brexit Jim, Sir Dave and whoever the fuck else is now involved, are any better.

Hugely debatable, and we’ve sold him for 20 big ones. Whereas you’ll be getting sweet FA for Eriksen.

Rather it sums up the current state of the club that a player who would be one of the highest, if not the highest, paid player at many clubs in the league, is considered a laughable option for a ‘big’ game.

Only on 150 grand a week

Less certain about that part than the rest of it.

Hopefully they chuck the towel in in the same pathetic manner they did on Saturday.

Bet he’s mint at the bleep test.

Their bench today costs about £1.1m p/w in wages.

All things being fair and equal…

Yes, if there’s one thing that Chelsea would be up for after hoying a billion quid at things, it’s getting paid off.

He’s currently on £400k a week. He’s not suddenly taking a 50% pay cut.

“Green with envy”

Would have lost money gambling on it being Enzo Le SOFT CUNT.

14 points and 8 goals from the last 10 games doesn’t suggest they’ll definitely beat anyone…

It looked like good technique admittedly, but without the deflection, the keeper throws his cap on it.

Joe Cole “that’s a great finish from O’Reilly”. Just completely ignoring if it isn’t deflected the keeper just flops on it.

Nah, Flashscore glitch.

Palace have generally been very good away from home, but they did very nearly get beat off Southampton in their last away game.

Should be alright for Palace, unless there’s been ongoing symptoms.

Angeatha Christie

Not sure how we’ll fit Gibbs-White, Cunha and Delap into the same team tbh.

Admin branded a Mag in 5,4,3…

Would have been superb bantz if this had of happened next week before the Villa game.

But the going rate is becoming more than is sensible due to PSR. Yeah, if they really, really want someone they can probably find the money, but it would impact significantly on what else they can do. If someone unsettled Tino this summer, how much would we ask for? £60m? £80m? No one is going to pay that because it would be silly in terms of PSR. We’ve seen Man Utd ridiculously overpay for players in recent times and look at the state that’s left them in. Yes, it’s partly (well, quite significantly) due to the players in question turning out to be mediocre/shite, but it’s also left them in a financial hole to the point they’re sacking dinner ladies to save £12.87.
