Vesper

I would hardly call 4 of the only 6 actual sales we did 'deadwood' Ian Maatsen Conor Gallagher Omari Hutchinson Lewis Hall (obligation to buy from last season) was just good business these 2 yes, deffo deadwood Romelu Lukaku Diego Moreira (to Strasbourg, and we are in trouble for this one perhaps)

the 6 we actually sold perm Ian Maatsen Conor Gallagher Lewis Hall (obligation to buy from last season) Romelu Lukaku Omari Hutchinson Diego Moreira (to Strasbourg, and we are in trouble for this one perhaps) we also did one loan with an obligation to buy Bashir Humphreys - loan with obligation move to Burnley Broja loan only has an option to buy, and I cannot see Everton dumping out 30m quid for him, especially as they may be relegated all other exits were straight loans, no options or obligations, or players who left on frees

jfc another super goal by Duran so so fucked we did not close him out months ago what a cock-up

super goal by Duran within minutes of his coming on nil 2

I agree, Maresca is not a yes man

🙄

everysingle game today has at least one goal

he was saying that for ages and a big FAIL on both I have no issues at all with Maresca he knows what is going on

they are delusional only reason there was a draw today was Rice seeing red it COMPLETELY changed the game look that their first 3 games one goal allowed and that would not have ocurred, IMHO, if no red, plus they likely would have scored another 1 or 2 to claim, (as they did) that we are 'leagues ahead' of that is just silliness

and I will be shocked if his entourage gives up a single pound of all that and what team is going to take on that burden for a player who turns 31yo in the middle of next season (plus a transfer fee)?

counting this season's partial wages we are subsiding (over half) we are still on the hook for around £63m owed to him for wages and bonuses (more if we are paying £200K PW of his £325K PW base wage bill)

nil 1 Villa Onana

I have never seen a top 20 in the world club in a more complicated mess, and we just keep digging deeper we have huge issues on so so many levels, both on and off the pitch in no order: new stadium plans in shambles atm possible bans/relegation for multiple reasons (FFP, Roman old shenanigans, dodgy co-club sales) which could result in Euro bans, transfer bans, points deduction, or even straight relelgation potentially well fucked at CF, CB, and GKer, especially if we have a few key injuries so so much deadwood not dealt with in terms of permanent solutions, as in so many cases we just loaned them out with no guarantee of non return, including multiple players on massive wages no shirt main sponsor yet (truly wtf) unless something happened that I am missing academy/youth teams spiralling down, key people sacked absolutely foundational lack of both common sense and overall direction from the main upper management, plus the ownership I am sure I am forgetting some things but there is a hell of a start (or continuance if you will) to a long period of potential perdition

will it be a loan? (Chilwell to Fenerbahçe)

I do not think I have ever seen this before and the 10th worst side is very much up for debate probably West Ham (if not Palace), and they play in the next game, versus the best team, Citeh

subtract out Villa and you have the clear worst 9 teams in the EPL all playing at once

as I have said for years, he is not a CF, he hates playing there and there is no way Vini Jr is moved from LWer so yes, he is 'stuck' that all said, I am sure that Ancelotti will deal with it

Martin Keown whingeing like a likkle bish

1 1 FT great result for us

Raya is a very good keeper, very good

what a pass by Dunk
