  1. Argentines are so grubby. Always have been. Can't stand most of their players.
  2. A lot of people register the opposite to vote for shitty candidates on the opposing party.
  3. All that and he still had a donation to dems as well. You seem hung up on this.
  4. Just like the first time he was elected. If he wins - nothing will happen. The world will keep on keeping on.
  5. I don't care for American politics, or care who is in power anywhere in the world - but this is probably going down as one of the most powerful and iconic images in world history:
  6. Imagine trying to take the life of someone who has absolutely no care about you. Neither of these guys do yet people become obsessed and driven to madness like this. Both candidates are absolute muppets.
  7. You live and learn. They certainly are making sure not to repeat the same mistakes. I've never rated Sterling highly as some, but he has achieved 10 times what the others have on that list.
  8. We are in for players of quality. Olise and Calafiori are nice but all of those guys even outside of them would be demanding too much. None of them have achieved much of anything.
  9. We were top 4 second half of the season. Then we have Nkunku, James, Fofana, Lavia, Chilly all coming back. Add in the guys that are depth signings. Add in a proper coach with tactics rather than running around. Add in we have the youngest team in the league who will improve year after year. We are in a good spot.
  10. I watched some Samu clips. Unsure. What are your thoughts on Samu? I look at someone like Duran who equally looks a decent physical presence but has a left foot rocket and an air of spectacular about him ala Drogba with the way he pulls shots from no where. From my perspective Duran would be the better pick up but again don’t know enough.
  11. David is good enough to be a backup. Also I don’t think Williams is anywhere near as good as this forum is making him out to be. No where near a sure fire star. Looks very loose and untidy on the ball a lot of the time.
  12. Some people’s analysis of who a good player is boils down entirely to who is hyped and that they’ve heard of. Some players you don’t know about are still very good.
  13. A CB and I’m happy. I think this team can compete. A right footed winger would be nice too. Think we do more than fine with the forward options we have in Jackson and Nkunku.
  14. Spoke to my Canadian mate - and he doesn't rate Jonathan David. At least not in the national team. Said he hasn't watched him for club but seen just about most of his games for country. Says he is a passenger in games and found it interesting bigger clubs were linked with him, but also said its telling he is going for cheap and still no one has come knocking.
  15. Yes we are. All the players you hype are expensive then flop. Veiga was literally brought in as Calafiori's replacement at Basel. Not just that, if you actually go and watch a full game or some extended highlights, possesses a few qualities we actually need. He can't cross for shit, but the man is Dembele/Toure-esque in terms of holding that ball despite a two man press on him.
  16. He was literally Cala’s replacement. Not a bad piece of business at all.
  17. So we went from 12th to 6th and the plan isn't working? We have one of the best RW players in the world. We have one of the best RB pairings in the world. We have two of the most recently sought after MFs in the world. You never get 100% of the moves correct. Since the bad start, their business on the market has been superb. They are literally going to turn this into a massive profit making machine through asymmetric risk plays. Initial capital expenditure to get a bright, young team setup. Then buy further youth prospects who are touted as world best talents. Have them come through the ranks and keep replacing with players you bought at a super cheap fee. Those that don't make it, on sell for a profit with inflation going as it is, etc. All the while you have your academy players doing their thing and those being sold for pure profit. City has done the best job of this so far, but this guys seem even more hell bent on it. All that while being more in line with the rules and more cyclical with how the money will flow (mainly because they don't have trillions like the Oil money merchants). The reality is that most Chelsea fans are spoilt brats and want instant gratification. As if somehow since 2017 we have been on an upward trajectory. We were literally in a shitty holding pattern that was masked as successful because of an unexpected CL win that clearly wasn't sustainable - as per our short lived success.
  18. It isn’t. We scored a tonne of goals and have a good up and coming striker. As well as a SS that was hot shit before getting injured.
  19. Hope. Im also bored of reading the Clearlake slander on here. They started out rough with the Dodgers as well and have been the most consistently great team in the league 10 years straight. Majority in here have tiny bollocks and can’t deal with a bit of adversity.
  20. We about to hijack this Cala deal.
