Vesper

that fucker told Nagelsmann to stay a million light years away from Chels and the EPL, unless it was Citeh if/when Pep leaves (which, unless Citeh get the smashing for cheating I cannot see happening until Håland leaves at least, as Pep seems driven to not just win the CL, but to do a Barca if they win it this year and just bulldoze it multiple times thereafter)

this is my thought as well, and hopefully Nkunku (who is still scoring at the rate he did last season when he scored 35 goals and had 20 assists, but has misted a tonne of games thsi year with two injuries) produces (at a bare minimum) like a 20/21 year old Dele Alli did back in 2016/17 for Poch (over even better on the goals scored) Nkunku and, in half the minutes as the season before (assists have fallen off as the team has been not nearly as good this year, due to injuries and the other sides getting better in the top half of the table)

yes looks like they want around €65m atm (£57.5m) over a 3500 minute season he is tracking to around 25 goals and 10 assists all comps as a 19/20yo (and in a low scoring league, at 80% league minutes played, around 16, 17 league goals, and 6, 7 league assists)

the right team certainly would, BUT that insane 4 year £295K PW salary is a real cock blocker (£61,360,000 gross payout over the 4 years) KK was sort of a throwback, summer of 2003 Roman style signing, albeit he was much older (and few of that years signings really came good, especially Makélélé)

IF he comes back, he damn well better come good (a BIG ask, I know) as all know, I so want Rasmus Højlund (Osimhen at £125m or more is simply too expensive to gamble on)

I think they were being sarcastic

I don't trust dwarves

Poundland Super Frank

I remember using that expression on a yank Democratic party chat board, and the owners banned me for slurring Obama (wtf!) until I emailed them and explained what it meant, LOLOLOLOL

Hansi Flick is the only other acceptable one (who is remotely do-able) for me, if not Poch

Spurs sacking an interim would be the Chelsea-est Boehly-est thing ever, in fact I would be envious as this fucker wants the sack fixed

its possible but pretty unlikely we are at 39 points only 3 teams have ever been been relegated with 40 or more points (in the EPL era with 38 games) None since 20 years ago (so it's never happened since Chelsea became a true league power starting when Roman bought us in summer 2003 and we finished 2nd to that undefeated Arse side, then won the EPL the next 2 (and almost 3) seasons) Sunderland with 40 in 96/97 Bolton with 40 in 97/98 West Ham with 42 in 2002/03 Middlesbrough was relegated with 39 points in 96/97 Birmingham and Blackpool were both relegated with 39 points in 2010/11 that's it

Lukaku with a late season surge brace today

they have it sussed pretty easy schedule left

FUCK BOEHLY

that fat septic berk is the one who needs an intervention

he worked miracles dragging this shit side (ony 2 WC players, Kane and Son, Eriksen was starting to decline by then and collapsed completely the next season, Alli started to collapse in 2017/18 and was shit by 2018/19) to the CL final in 2019 GK 1 France Hugo Lloris (c) RB 2 England Kieran Trippier CB 4 Belgium Toby Alderweireld CB 5 Belgium Jan Vertonghen LB 3 England Danny Rose CM 17 France Moussa Sissoko CM 8 England Harry Winks RW 20 England Dele Alli AM 23 Denmark Christian Eriksen LW 7 South Korea Son Heung-min CF 10 England Harry Kane Substitutes: GK 13 Netherlands Michel Vorm GK 22 Argentina Paulo Gazzaniga DF 6 Colombia Davinson Sánchez DF 16 England Kyle Walker-Peters DF 21 Argentina Juan Foyth DF 24 Ivory Coast Serge Aurier DF 33 Wales Ben Davies MF 11 Argentina Erik Lamela MF 12 Kenya Victor Wanyama MF 15 England Eric Dier MF 27 Brazil Lucas Moura FW 18 Spain Fernando Llorente Manager: Argentina Mauricio Pochettino

I would be fuming if I was him, as that pretty much fucks him going for the English top flight single season scoring record (Dixie Dean's 63 goals all comps, 60 (untouchable, the next highest ever in a major (top 10) European league is Messi on 50 in 2011-12) of those in the league, in 1927-28)

they truly seem to look at us a business above being a sporting club they lack understanding of how a great club is always greater than the sum of its parts and spending 2/3rds of a billion (just on fees, with salaries it is over a billion quid) and NOT buying a proper striker was pure madness

1 nil Citeh Mahrez scored a pen

I am a bit hesitant because if we buy him this summer we only get 3 sub 30yo seasons (and DMFs tend to, on average, blow out and plummet post 30yo) out of him (so if we give him 2, 3 seasons and he is a bust we will get so little compared to what we paid for him, as he will be 29 or 30yo), plus he is very non creative, zero goals, zero assists in almost 3000 minutes this season

it did not count, but jesus fucking christ, what a goal by Håland
