It will curtail the geezers outside the ground - which will free up the selling of tickets at vastly inflated prices to overseas tourists -something BlueCo have been doing

Yildiz, Rogers, and Wharton works for me although the club's bank manager might not agree. 🙂

different positions, different style of players

Well I think the squad numbers only go up to 99

Would have been a fantastic stat if Reggie had scored to break the record for a third time on the night.

Rogers remains my preferred alternative to Enzo. If affordable, a move for Wharton as well would still be possible.

Yes i watch them regularly,  its true although his not a bad goal scorer 

I've never been a believer.

Longish for a YouTube video but interesting.

All sides evolve but if there is one thing all of us here will agree on it's that it'll be a while before the club can build any hopes around Romeo's ability to stay fit.
Meanwhile, all players have to earn their place in the squad, including Enzo. Whether we can afford, and can attract, an upgrade to our No. 8 are answers that we don't know but, if I was involved in the decision making, they are questions I'd definitely be asking.

Would've been nice. But there's an international break.
Which might not be a bad thing atm. 
So many injuries. Team needs a break.

Ending the game with 11 men after weeks

Brighton did the same thing. Self reported on misrepresented agent fees for a 3 year period. 
They received a small fine. I’d assume we’d just get a larger fine. 
 
 

love this!!!!!!!

This is an important consideration. Not only was it possible to hide these payments from authorities at the time, they were not even discovered when the club came under heightened scrutiny because Russian owned assets were sanctioned. It's clear therefore that such payments can be hidden relatively easily.
This means there is no way to be sure that other clubs have not engaged in the same activity. Indeed, given the competitive nature of the football industry and the insatiable greed of agents, I'm guessing that many, many, clubs are guilty too. If authorities can't find these payments, but are determined to stop them, it would be counterproductive to impose heavy sporting penalties. Doing that would only make clubs all the more determined to keep their mouths shut about their own regulatory breaches.
There must be penalties but I'm guessing that these are much more likely to be financial than they are to be sporting.

that should be Olise's 2nd yellow
 

Worth exploring what the team would be like without Enzo at some point
 

JP seems to be a great addition to the squad on and off the pitch.

Exactly as I expected. Basically as near as possible to the PSG team.

I was right. 
 

On 2 September 2025, Premier League club Manchester City announced the signing of Donnarumma on a five-year deal, with an option for a further year, for a reported transfer fee of £26 million.
His salary is reportedly
£13m this season
£14m in the 2nd and 3rd year
and £15m in the 4th and 5th years  (and probably £15m the 6th year, the option year, as well)
that is £71m just in salary for 5 years, and probably £86m if they exercise the option
PLUS he can earn salary bonus of around £2.5m per season based off performance (personal and club)
that kicks it up to around a potential £101m in toto just in salary/bonuses for the full 6 years
add in the £26m tranfer fee
£127m total potential outlay for 6 years
and his agent perhaps got some pay-off as well (I admit I do not know that, nor do I know IF he himself got a signing bonus)
 
I simply cannot see our owners committing to that level of spend for a GKer, not with so many already on our books and Penders hopefully coming into our Sr team soon
 
 

far far too early to definitively rate Gittens
