After a meeting with Lukaku, Boehly did say if it made financial sense for Chelsea, it would be best to facilitate Lukaku back to Inter. It must benefit Chelsea first, no giving him away. I think this is why Inter are raising their bid significantly.

Yeah, it takes knowing Atlanta, as it is pockets of interest and then a lot of crap I never go to. Mercedes Benz is a pretty straight forward destination on Marta. That stadium is magnificent, it will host games for sure. I absolutely love what Arthur Blank did to the concessions compared to Georgia Dome.

Hmmm, I have enjoyed Marta for 30 years. If we do an extended stay we get a business hotel on the north loop that gives awesome rates on the weekend and Marta everywhere. Going to any event on Marta, the Marta cars will be packed with people going to the event, but that would be the same in New York, Chicago, etc. Thirty years and I have never had a problem. In Chicago we have to be very careful what stops to avoid.

I don’t understand? Atlanta has great infrastructure for matches? You can land at the airport, Marta (Atlanta’s subway) to your hotel, Marta to Mercedes Benz stadium, Marta back to the hotel and airport. You never need a cab or uber? There is a massive Marta station at the base of Benz? Driving to games can be a pain, but we found a great parking lot at the base of the parking lot ramp where people tailgate for hours before and after a game. We just come early and stay late with the tailgating crowd.

The people that are our main targets we have been speaking with both players and clubs since the last window. All these agents, players, and clubs have seen clubs get sold and know that it will happen. Chelsea had a valuation that was known to all. It is silly to think that our people were sitting on their hands waiting for the sale to happen. These are people that have been in the business world where companies are sold all the time. You keep doing your job and adjust to what the new owners want. It matters not knowing how much your transfer window budget is to find out what the player’s interest is, what their personal terms are, how much the club wants for the player, what structure the deal could be. If these people can’t communicate these items during a club being sold, they are not very good at their job.

Man City, Liverpool, Tottenham, Aston Villa all had their transfers lined up and ready to finalize the first week of the window. I am not buying that these deals take an incredible amount of time and we just started speaking to clubs and players after the sale was complete. If so our people that handle transfers need to go. Our recruitment people, if there is such a plan had months to put together a plan. What were they doing all this time?

I am getting the vibe we will do another one year loan of a player that won’t work in our team for £97M on the last week of the window!

Man City and Liverpool are not fucking around.

Advanced talks FC. The only deals that granny has looked good in lately are the release clause deals. It is really looking like a mistake to leave this entire transfer window to granny and Tuchel. I hope they are holding some big secret, but so far it has been the Keystone cops including the Rudiger blunder.

Posting this as a pic of a tweet so it has the google translation. I hope this guy is close to Inter. I also hope obligation is not option.

A lot of talk, lets get one done.

So many fans already knighted him. Sir Fraudgate. I don’t see what they see. Our team has our own fraud to deal with, made worse by the players performing despite his playing players out of position constantly.

Pulisic has been asked to attend the World Cup Venue announcement. It is thought Philly might be a city now as he is from Pennsylvania. Atlanta looks nailed on as a city, so I look forward to whatever matches are held there.

I only have the Germany vs Italy game without Fuba TV. During halftime they said the team that finished fourth in a group gets relegated. Relegated to what? Last chance losers pool?

It is the off season surgeries players put off until it must be done. No recent injury related to it.

It was just one game. I had read that Nunez has problems with his first touch at times, ball rolling to far ahead for him to control. The USMNT played Uruguay a few weeks ago and it was that way most of the game. He had great movement though, very very active player.

I don’t have pause about Kounde’s aerial abilities, he looks really good in duals. What gives me pause is his maturity. People are going to try every game to get him to react and commit stupid fouls because he has a history of doing it. If he is willing to learn from Silva, I think he will be a good addition. If he doesn’t, another costly mistake.
