Strike

300k pw wages. I can't complain about us not getting into this. We can sign a better CB than Guehi for that money.

Wage is higher since transfer fee is lower. We were never in the mix.

Are there even any more loyal BlueCo bandits left? Seems pretty clear they're clueless and are managing their PR

Senesi, Sven Botman or Micky Van de Ven? Edit - Oops. Botman just signed a new contract

Finally egos are being swallowed and they see what this team needs Hope they don’t sign some wonderkid now. Need a mature CB signing to get us through the season.

I think Sanchez has had a solid season and every goalkeeper has the odd day where they make mistakes. He's one of the few who's managed to have a solid season despite the circus at the club and especially working with 2 random and genuinely awful CBs every game.

Actually new coach discovering the same problems - like the issues with passing out the back with our CBs - Took Maresca a while before he directed Sanchez to play the ball in the air and into pockets of space that open up because of the opposition press. We are restarting with Liam now

BlueCo need to pack up and leave for the squad they've assembled.

Their backups are better than our starters.

It is a sad irony that the owners who obsess about injury management have signed some of the most injury-prone players

5 signings like this is why we don't have funds for 1 game-changing signing. BlueCo will never change.

Villa didn't make a permanent offer it appears

Unlikely he has any interest in the circus here

Win, lose or draw BlueCo Out

Because there are British expats here. Enough of them to fill a bar on 33rd street during the big games + Chelsea has marketed in the US in the recent past after the successes in the Roman era. Fwiw Chicago has a sizable Chelsea following too that gathered to watch the draw vs City.

Would be surprised if their interest in Guehi is real. Gabriel signed a new deal till 2029. Hincapie and Calafiori can both play LCB too.

No complaints about the coaching staff. The changes helped and the second half performance was pretty good. Shame we didn't get at least a point.

Is anyone surprised? Arsenal have been at it for longer and haven't hesitated to go for the best available players.

Ayyy Don't be a celebration police

Good goal. Wilson again

Pedro over Estevao here? With Palmer on a yellow too

That goal has been coming. McFarlane at the wheel!

Happy with the second half display so far.

Delap needs to finish that. Good setup by Palmer.
