Get Chelsea in this and then the CL last 16 and play them four times in a row. Mint.

The money is just for whether you qualify or not isn’t it? Rather than the results of the individual games?

Very shortly according to Howe yesterday

Apart from a 2-0 victory away at Arsenal…

Seems like if he does ultimately end up failing here, it won’t be due to lack effort and/or professionalism: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c4g0jjxmr00o

Probably for the best he’s only interim…

Sounds like he’ll be back soon from Eddie’s presser comments.

Think he might be knackered going off the vibes from Eddie in the presser.

Sporting a sharp new trim in today’s presser 💇‍♂️

Trippier was a very particular case though. Unlikely you find a player of that quality wanting to come ‘home’ for an affordable price.

Fair enough. Only through age though. If he was younger his performances would have definitely warranted those clubs paying more for him. Agreed on Gordon. And still think many of them would take him for significantly more than we paid for him.

And Burn.

Would have been on next to fuck all (in PL terms) at Burnley, so could easily have doubled or trebled going there without being on that much. Ramsdale’s obviously been on a canny whack at Arsenal, so unlikely he took a significant drop going to Southampton or here.

Reportedly on significantly less than what Ramsdale’s on.

Swings and roundabouts…

Bet he always chooses Rich Tea over Shortbread as well.

I think the issue, as we have found, is that you can probably afford players up to the 75m(ish) bracket, but if any of the other cartel clubs decide they want them, then that’s where they end up. Eze being the most obvious example. Off the top of my head, I can’t think of anyone they’ve signed where there was genuine competition from one of the other five?

“Sorry if YOU found me being a massive racist offensive”

At the time most thought ~30m was great money for Anderson. Alright we didn’t know about the Vlachidimos shenanigans initially, so clearly that affected things. But let’s not rewrite history and claim there was a terrible outcry when it first happened.

Man Utd in the mud.

Forest stinking of relegation here.
