@HTT II was right - he is Mexican!

Was really hoping Chelsea would implode under a regime of austerity and cost cutting. Ah well....

Yeah but our definition of cost effective has changed with the takeover. Personally i think every single possible way of expanding the ground should be looked at exhaustively and only when they have all been ruled out, should a move be considererd.

Woooo. Mackems are gonna have a field day with the 'in principle ' shite arnt day?

Maybe they ran out of 8mm tape for the Technicolour camera

Aye - weve got - as a minimum - the money earmarked for Ekitiki left for a forward. Plus, a couple of squad fillers. And possibly - similar Ekitiki/Bruno money for a RW

Whats his job? Putting the cones out and taking the players betting slips to ladbrooks?

Didnt Shearer score a grand total of 7 (ish) goals by the age of 22? Makes his overall record, with 2 seasons missing due to injury, even more impressive.

Yeah but he was our embarrassment.

Pepe is Brazilian isnt he?

Ill be bot?

I thought he was about to review a pizza takeaway or chippy

I was thinking Woodgate was around £18m fro some reason. This is what happens when you drink on a school night Laz

Is that Woodgate? Memories a bit hazy but wasnt Woodgates fee partially offset against Owen's fee?

Assuming Targetts £13m is this window and Botmans fee is £37m, add in £10m for Pope then our spend this window is about £60m. We should be able to double that this window I would think.

Any legal challenge to these new rules that is successful will surely open the super league door again, wouldnt it?

Yeah - they should have had a much higher profile. Ginger is indeed a prolific songwriter. I saw Love/Hate at the mayfair in 1992 but dont remember them supporting. I saw them a few years later at the Riverside, great gig though my hips were crushed up against the barrier at the front and sweat would rain from the ceiling

Thats it - wages and FFP. If its true our highest earner is Bruno on 120k per week I cant see us paying much more than that. I dont think we'll go big on any transfers until weve got some serious sponsorship deals in place.

I dont think were able to spend £80m on a single player yet so yes, fake news. So hes not coming, unless Naopli sell him at a substantial loss. Pacqueta was rumoured to be £60m ish but I cant see us spending more than Bruno money on a single player this window. Happy to be proved wrong though

Thats the one.

Nope

Nope.

One single player has scored 2 hat-tricks at different world cups. Who?
