Vesper

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

Joao Pedro

1 1 wooooooooot

first ever red for Rice, per the presenters not sure on that

Rice 2nd yellow red

we are fucked at CF during AFCON and/or if Jackson gets injured I am not at all sold on KDF so far (I remain open to being convinced) our CBs and GKers are overall, despite hundreds of millions spent, far from remotely being a solid group and potentially disasterclass, especially if Fofana (horrid injury record) and/or Colwill go down, plus we are also in dire straits if Jörgensen turns out to be dross so many of the 'exits' are just loans with no obligations to buy, thus they are just kick the can down the road band-aids the Sterling loan is a joke, no fee, no obligation, and we are still on the hook for probably around £175K PW or so for wages, plus likely all his bonus payments we are now probably under the cosh for those dodgy Strasbourg sales/attempted sales failed on multiple loans and sales (so far, some windows are still open) including the massive salaried Chilwell

superb strike

1 nil Arse Havertz

laughable claim

what a hot mess need to see what happens with leagues whose windows are still open before I give a detailed summary but it is looking grim indeed IF we are going to get a 2 year transfer ban and it kicks in starting this winter we are in serious trouble if a few key players get injured (Jackson, Fofana, Colwill, Jörgensen (assuming he comes good), Palmer)
