Vesper

We are so fucked atm. Grrrrrrrr

Just get healthy m8! Football is so much less important than your life and health.

Oskar Pietuszewski another teen we are scouting hard lol

Sporting will not drop down from Ousmane Diomande's 80m euro (£70.3m) release clause this summer also, he is a CB for Cote d'Ivoire, so he will miss a lot of games (our EPL games) playing for them over the years IF we did buy him

he wants at least £270K PW in salary/add-ons for 5 years plus a £25m or more signing bonus (as he would come on a free) that is at least £95.2m in toto or to look at it how we do that is over £19m per season spread out over 5 years plus he turns 28yo in around 10 months and yes, he has rebounded (so far) this year, but he had back to back meh seasons before this and finally he is a right-footed RCB, when we desperately need a lefty as Colwill will be coming off a massive injury and Badi, our only other lefty true CB, is shite (Hato is more of a LB than a CB) assuming we are not transfer banned, I still do not see us going for him

It's not just all social media account information for the past 5 to 10 years you will have to turn over to the US Feds to be allowed into the country. It now looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, when Trump's proposed new rules are put into place.

Lol FIFA and Trump 2 peas in a pod England tickets to cost ten times price promised in World Cup bid Fifa announced that cheapest tickets available for group games will be $220, but initial bid from US, Canada and Mexico included seats for $21 https://www.thetimes.com/sport/football/article/england-ticket-prices-world-cup-fifa-us-wbhhl02hj The FA will contact Fifa to pass on fans’ concerns after it emerged that the cheapest tickets for England supporters next year’s World Cup are more than ten times the price promised in the original bid for the United States, Canada and Mexico to host the tournament. Fifa has announced that the cheapest tickets available to members of the official England fans’ club for group matches are $220 (£165) — the bid document’s ticket model stated the cheapest seats should be $21 (about £15.70). Even more astonishingly, the bid document on Fifa’s website puts the lowest price for the final at £95 but the cheapest ticket being offered to England fans for the final is £3,129, more than 30 times higher. Some insiders think that there is a strong chance England may not even sell out their 8 per cent allocation per match for some games.

Yep. 😞

Would prefer Wharton, but the price for either is too high unless we sell major core List A players, as we are in real danger of failing the UEFA FFP punishment rules we are under.

Per Matt Law, NONE of the following sales would, if we sell any of them, help us to balance the UEFA books so we can play in Europe next season: Sterling Disasi Nico Jackson Aarón Anselmino Kendry Páez David Datro Fofana Deivid Washington Caleb Wiley Omari Kellyman Leo Castledine Ted Curd Teddy Sharman-Lowe Mudryk the Drugryk And none of the CL List B count either: Josh Acheampong Tyrique George Romeo Lavia The only sales that count are players on the CL List A. So any incoming buys, if we are not transfer banned, will mean we have to sell core players (Tosin needs to go go go, but we are going to get fuckall for him, and we cannot sell Badi if we are transfered banned, as he is literally, with Colwill out, our only left-footed CB). IF Penders comes this summer, the we can sell Filip Jörgensen. Guiu also needs to go. That's about it IF we are transfered banned, and even if NOT, we will will be damn lucky to get a total of £40-50m or so max for Tosin, Jörgo, and Guiu. Good luck shopping on that total budget. It is insane that UEFA limits the sales that count to only the CL List A. We still have to pay all the players listed who are not on it, unless a club loaning them pays them, AND we ourselves DID ALSO pay transfer fees for most of them. It seems borderline illegal to not count any and all sales towards UEFA book balancing.

Youth madness part #4672 Now we are looking to buy a 15yo DMF Jadiel Pereira da Gama from PEC Zwolle youngest Eredivisie player ever

BlueCo does not care they are in it for the business, not the sporting aspect

The scary thing is we are actually pretty easy to beat, and Everton will know that right now You don't need data or some scientific tactics, it's much more simpler https://siphillipstalkschelsea.substack.com/p/the-scary-thing-is-we-are-actually I call it as I see it. And I see this current Chelsea team as being able to beat literally any other team in the world right now. And I’ve said over the last few weeks that I am actually more confident these days going into a game against a Barcelona, Arsenal, PSG, or a Liverpool for example. We get ourselves up for these games. We play better with less pressure and as the underdogs. But the moment we go up against a team we are expected to beat, we hide, fold, and show the lack of maturity amongst this squad. And when I say squad, I mean the coaches as well. Because it’s just a fact that they are all inexperienced as well as the players. I’ve been out here praising our good performances, and there has been many of them lately. How good did it feel to thrash Barcelona? That was literally just weeks ago. That’s what this team is capable of, it’s important for us all to remember that. But when we come up against a low block, or a team who simply want it more than us, we fade away. That is our big issue right now and that is what we need to work on and transition from. We need to be able to create ways to be better against the lesser teams and not just the best sides. There is many things we can do to help this, but for this article at least, I have other more pressing fears and concerns. Starting this weekend against Everton. I think this Chelsea team is vulnerable, particularly after not winning in four games, and that scares me ahead of facing Everton, a team full of confidence and in some fine form. For me, Chelsea are actually pretty easy to beat. Dissecting recent games, it’s simple to see. As an opponent to Chelsea, you need to just want it more, have more energy, pace, intensity, and a strong mentality. If you do that, win the second balls, give Chelsea no time on the ball, out-muscle them, and then have two or three players of quality in attack and a stubborn defence, you have a very good chance of at least getting a point against this Chelsea side. That scares me. Everton have those players of individual quality, players who can hurt us. Namely a familiar face in Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall who will have plenty of points to prove this weekend. And then the criminally under rated Jack Grealish, who was held back and almost destroyed by Pep Guardiola’s tactics at Manchester City. Flair maverick players need to freedom to be those mavericks. Everton have won four of their last five games and could leap frog us in the table. That will truly motivate this side who are playing with belief and strong mentalities right now. They’ve also got a goalkeeper who I think is also criminally under rated and disrespected by too many, a solid defence, and players who can hurt us in midfield and attack. Can Chelsea win this? Of course they can. Why not? But it’s down to Enzo Maresca now to make the right calls, to motivate his players. He’s the head coach after all, that is his job, to lead his players. Then it’s down to the players to dust themselves off from this rough run of form, pretend they are up against PSG and not Everton, and just go out there with zero excuses, every ounce of energy they have, and the belief to go and win it. They will need to be tough, get the tackles in, and run all game. They have to match Everton in physical attributes as well as quality. But of course we can win it, that isn’t what I am saying with this article. All I am saying is that I have some genuine fears back and I actually think that if I am a coach playing against Chelsea, no matter who my team is that I am coaching, I would really fancy it right now and I wouldn’t need data or any clever tactics to beat them. Just go old school and eat them alive.

as long as Maresca is here I see Palmer, Caicedo, CuCu, and Estevao eventually wanting to leave BlueCo is sprinting into ruin-the-club territory they are just looking to strip-mine the wealth as much as possible until they can flip the club in a few years for massive profit I think they have no intention of building a new stadium either we are just a commodity to them

I think we get a transfer ban maybe even a points deduction and I think Citeh get fuckall in terms of substantial punishment a slap on the wrist

Chelsea close to learning fate over 74 FA charges

That source has changed a lot, from utter bollocks to pretty reliable. Rumour is some true insider bought the original poster out.

Just In: Liverpool agree personal terms with Bournemouth star Antoine Semenyo https://thedailybriefing.io/p/liverpool-agree-terms-antoine-semenyo-january-transfer Liverpool have agreed personal terms with Bournemouth star Antoine Semenyo ahead of the January transfer window. That is according to the latest from Indy Kaila, who shared this exclusively with CaughtOffside. The Reds have matched Manchester City’s offer, who too have agreed terms with the 25-year-old attacker. The decision now comes down to the player’s preference. According to Indy’s sources, Semenyo can leave Bournemouth for £65m, but that clause expires before the 10th of January and is no longer valid for the rest of the month. There is another clause which makes him available for £5m less but that doesn’t become active until the summer transfer window. It is not just Man City and Liverpool. Tottenham are also said to be ready to trigger his release clause and can financial match the terms offered by their Premier League rivals. Antoine Semenyo of Bournemouth (Photo by Ryan Pierse/Getty Images) Semenyo leaning toward Liverpool With potentially three to four clubs ready to pounce Semenyo, the ultimate decision would come down to the player himself. It has been reported that the player prefers a move to Liverpool over other clubs. As per Indy, the player is yet to make a decision on his preferred destination and will not rush into a decision. If the Reds are willing to match the financial offer of others, there is no reason why they can not land Semenyo in January. Salah’s future could play a massive role in his decision as well. As things stands, the club and Salah have had a falling out which could lead to the Egyptian star being sold to Saudi in the January transfer window. This would give Semenyo an opportunity to slot straight into his position and make an immediate impact. Which clubs he ends up choosing remains to be seen but one thing looks certain, Semenyo is not going to be at Bouremouth come January.

Noni with a brace

Xabi Alonso is going to be sacked 6 losses in the last 8 games Real is absolutely fucked without Mbappe

Tosin last night: lost 100% of his ground duels, committed the foul that directly led to Atalanta's game-winning goal, lost the ball four times, completed less than half of his passes, and didn't make one single tackle, despite us pushing more and more in the closing minutes. Disastrously poor performances from him are stacking up higher and higher as the season drags on. Maresca is suicidal (job-wise) if he plays Tosin again, especially if he starts him. Tosin is doing more to destroy our season than any other single player in the squad.

The more Tosin plays the less he is worth. He is shambolic at this point. Easily our worst current Sr 25 man squad player.

Donnarumma's salary plus signing bonus demands were insane It was always a no-go
