Tiresias Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I thought they laid off a lot of their scouting network to focus on wasting a lot of money with agents and buying overpriced 'stars' like pepe. Insane. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Just now, ManDoon said: Tielemans would be another one they should have been in for. He’s tenacious, great on the ball, good presence. Why would he leave Leicester for Arsenal though? Oh yes wages I guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 1 minute ago, ManDoon said: It’s honestly complete insane. They are an elite club with elite scouting networks, analysis. How can they not address a simple fucking issue at the club. I think there really are a bunch of people in football that are just scammers. It's not about buying the right players anymore but more about greasing palms of agents you are friendly with in order to line your own pockets in some way. Very dirty business.

KaKa Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 The number of chances this Chelsea team could have scored from today is ridiculous. Once they get up to speed it's going to be absolute carnage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 (edited) I'm not normally arsed about opposition players, but I really like Lukaku as a player. Something about the combination of sheer strength and quality. Shame he went to Chelsea like. Edited August 22, 2021 by Inferior Acuña Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorJ_01 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Bale goal. Forgot Hazard was there, they must be raging they paid like 100m euros and he's been injured for most of it. Unfortunate as he was unreal at Chelsea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OM has played two away matches this season, Montpellier and Nice, both of which have needed to be suspended in the second half for violence from the stands. Sampaoli and Payet looked ready to fight the Nice fans, just madness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Horrible from the fans, but you rarely see a player lose it and start throwing the stuff back at them like Payet and Alvaro were doing. Quite unprofessional behaviour from both. This while Nice players at first tried to calm the fans down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, it is not professional (Alvaro is a lunatic in the best of times anyway ), but the players are humans. Nice fans have thrown rubbish at Payet all match during the corners, with no action by the ref. The last away match they played, only two weeks ago, Rongier was hit in the face by a bottle and injured. No one has to let random people attempt to injure them repeatedly, you have to react at some point. Edited August 22, 2021 by Segun Oluwaniyi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's up to the league to punish these fans and not the players. I've seen it happen so many times, but never seen a player react like Payet and consequently Alvaro did.
