Vesper

If you wanted to boost up a club to take on the Big 3, then Braga would be it, bit they are under the Qatari umbrella already Other options (besides Boavista (2001) and Belenenses (1946), who are the only 2 non Big clubs to have won the topflight league) would be Vitória Futebol Clube, from Setúbal, a suburb of Lisbon, Académica de Coimbra (Coimbra), who have collapsed, down the the third tier, Vitória de Guimarães (Guimarães), G.D. Estoril Praia (who you already mentioned), Rio Ave Futebol Clube (Via do Conde), F.C. Paços de Ferreira (Porto area), Gil Vicente F.C.(Barcelos, near Braga), Sporting Clube Farense (Faro in the Algarve), and Marítimo da Madeira, based in Funchal, on the island of Madeira.

UEFA has zero jurisdictional power over the headchoppers

Boavista F.C. (Porto) or C.F. Os Belenenses (Lisbon) in Portugal CR Vasco da Gama (Rio de Janeiro) or Fluminense FC (Rio de Janeiro) or Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas (Rio de Janeiro) in Brasil Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras, Sport Club Corinthians, and São Paulo FC (all in São Paulo) and Clube de Regatas do Flamengo (Rio), are all likely too big to swallow, and Santos FC turned us down no point to buying a club not in Rio or São Paulo IMHO although Sport Club Internacional and Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense (both in Porto Alegre) might be potential buys same for Cruzeiro Esporte Clube and Clube Atlético Mineiro (both in Belo Horizonte) and Club Athletico Paranaense aka CAP (Curitiba) all 5 are big clubs and (but we are really pushing it now) the last 4: Coritiba Foot Ball Club (Curitiba) or Esporte Clube Bahia (Salvador) or Guarani Futebol Clube (Campinas) or, finally, Sport Club do Recife, (Recife) no other Brasilian clubs are worth buying, too small and unlike Europe, it is crazy hard to attract great players to other clubs I did not list

For AMF? As long as tou do not count Nkunku as an AMF, then yes, avsolutely. The two AMFs I rate to buy the most are Zakharyan and Kudus (and Kudus is also much more of a viable RWer than Arsen would be, but at the same time, Kudus is not a pure playmaker like Arsen is.) I see no reason why both could not well end up on the Sr squad someday soon.

yes 666

£68m is more than I would pay for him but when you have £500 billion backing you, it's all relative plus they may well be getting a HUGE payday for Mbappe and they think Osimhen at £180m is insane (as do I) only two players on the planet worth £180m or up are Mbappe and Håland IF both were locked down on long terms contracts then they are easily £200+ million players no one else is close Vini Jr maybe is around £150-160m or so then Bells and Osi then a massive drop off again

hell yes bye bye Sweden back to London Chelsea Barracks here I come, lol

I am starting to get there but fuck, £100m is insane!

Juve will demand an extra €10m lol

cannot believe we are not trying to prise away Barella from Inter surely they would take €90m (£77m) no way Caicedo is £23m better

so, fuck, assuming that bid was around £90m, the cunts really are holding out for around £100m arfffffffffffffffffffff

https://theathletic.com/live-blogs/transfer-news-live-updates/Rf4eM6sJAjbq/70dD4t7o84jy/ Chelsea could face competition in their pursuit of Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo. Brighton claim they have received a bid, from an as yet unidentified club, that surpasses Chelsea's most recent offer for the 21-year-old Ecuador international worth a total of £80million. They are intent on holding out for their asking price and won't budge on comparing Caicedo's value to that of England midfielder Declan Rice, who moved to Arsenal from West Ham in a £105m deal. Brighton previously rebuffed approaches from Chelsea and Arsenal in January. Chelsea are considering alternative options should a move for Caicedo not materialise, including Liverpool target Romeo Lavia of Southampton.
