I wanted that to go in so much for Kante

I think 2-0 also. I would love to see a weekly prediction league thread. Even if it is just a handful participating.

I barely get a signal in my building. Streaming well....tis a good sign!

Wouldn't it be awesome if RM could not register him because of their current wages!!

I think it also sends a message to him that even if he goes out on Loan to gain experience, he is part of future plans.

Mbappe has requested to leave, get on it grannie!!

I think Tuchel will use all 5 subs to bring in more of our starting XI and the leash will be short if someone is not playing well.

We lost to Leicester when hardware was on the line. I am confident, but know it can go south for anybody.

While Barca players are refusing to take pay cuts and they may not be able to register players.....We should make an offer for Pedri.

IT IS GAMEDAY!!! Hardware on the line! Only downside is I must watch the first half at work on my phone....and I was a dumbass and didn't fuel up yesterday so a dash home is not in the cards!

I think we said they must be announcing Kia today everyday for a week.

Remember the Havertz announcement last year?

I am not sure how much the Hazard transfer covered those acquisitions? I really don't get into the accounting aspect, I just like to reserve my muppet behavior for the names of those coming in. If you read other boards it is interesting the conspiracy theories that Tammy being sold for 40M Euros is somehow not a legit deal and money is being passed under the table so we can balance our books. One fan base always thinks another team is cheating the system. When you are talking these billions of Euros spent in transfer windows, some shady thing probably do happen.

Fabrizio tweeted last week that Kounde was on hold until the Lukaku deal was completed. He said both sides are still negotiating.

There are several articles about how Conte has improved his hold up play by having him do drills everyday. His first touch is still not one of control so Conte has him redirect the ball and chase it. I guess if he has a brick touch, learn to play off that brick touch. He looks much better with his leverage amongst CB than he used to play. I do not think Conte changed his game as much as tweeked what was there.

I do not see anything wrong with the numbers? With FFP you do need to have the money coming in to balance players being bought. I do not think it is rationalizing, but rather showing that our net spend is within what is allowed. I know they say FFP is relaxed, but I still think they must be within a range, of which I have no idea what that range is?

If he was the player at Man Utd or Everton with the rest of our team, He is still getting 20+ goals. The improvement under Conte is a wonderful bonus. The price we paid? I don't write the checks, if Roman felt strongly to show the money, that is his decision.

I do not have an image but here are the numbers. Moses £4.5m Giroud £1.5m Tomori £26m Guehi £18m Bate £1.5m Simeu £1.5m Livramento £5m Ugbo £5m (TBC) Abraham £34m (TBC) Total £97m + Loan Fees Lukaku fee £97.5m

I think the Haaland comparisons are odd. We offered 130M to start negotiations and there was absolutely no interest to talk. I think our recruitment has been great the last three years. It is possible our people got a read on the Haaland situation they are not going to share. His wage demands might be something that our club will just not do. Rom could be a bad signing, a good signing, a great signing. The best part of it is he does not need to carry this team they way that Kane needs to carry the Spurs. We have quality all around him. I am hopeful, but acknowledge you just never know.

I first seen the Moriba links today. Is he ready to start in the PL? He is young.

Club World Cup might be delayed all the way to 2023.
