Crystal Palace lost the appeal, it's official now they will play in Conference Leage instead of EL. Feel sorry for them, they really earned their spot by winning FA-Cup. Hard to understand how two Red Bull team can play in the CL but Palace is disqualified due to multi-club ownership.

Pretty sure this will be the lineup next weekend. Gittens/Estevao race wipp be ongoing Today, rest seem to be fixed.

More rest to Lavia, hilarious! Crazy it's his 3rd season at the club, still feels like a new player as I have only seen him a couple of times.

Other targets such as...?

Come one mate.. Everyone is for themselves, every club represent their own interests. It's just business, negotiation. Them trying to put pressure on us isn't any more or less disgusting than us trying to pinch out the last penny of a player who is highly unwanted and is like 23rd in the packing order in his position. I like Carney and I see BVB is ideal club for him, I hope deal will be done and he can rebuild himself. He was very unlucky, Poch seemed to fancy him, he wrecked himself 2 games into that season.

Today, official squad numbers were announced. Veiga was not mentioned there, neither was Disasi. I suppose they are gone, even with Levi's injury.

We got almost 15M for Humphries.. Did he have such a weak season at SHU?

Don't wait up mate, just accept Bochum, Sassaulo or whatever crap team is after you.

Very good deal if true, even if the 5 quid are ballon d'or extra. Scoredlike 2 goals in past 3 years, he I am surprised any PL-club were after him.

You're right, my bad, didn't look it properly.

Is Badiashile leaving though? I haven't read many words on him.

Around 40? Seems not bad.. Earlier 65M pounds was rumoured.

Satpaev scored in the CL again, his team won 3-0, overturn their draw after losing 2-0 in Finland. This means they will compete in group stage in ECL worst case scenario, but EL and CL still possible to reach.

Garnacho rumours are like the sword of Damoclas hanging over our heads, a sword with stupid trimmed eyebrows and blond dyed hair. There have been players at Chelsea who I disliked first but got to like, or ones I never really liked, but Garnacho is Emre Can level annoying to me. Anyone but him please.

Shit, yes.. Where is my mind

Someone posted few years ago what a blow for Malick Fofana to end up at Everton after being linked to Liverpool and us. Well this is much more of a tranwreck, from Real Madrid to Spurs..

For 65 million pounds I pretty much do anything with anyone.

I feel that aswell. He has gained plenty of social media attention, he had some good periods at PSV and Leipzig, but never consistent nor outstanding. If he was some random Polish guy I think he would not be so well known. But let's see. I am not convinced we need another attacking winger, even if George leaves, we seem too packed. But I'd accept anyone over Garnacho, let there be many players and strong ones prevail.

I saw him many times and listen to a podcast by a Juventus-fan journalist every week, I understand he is quite controversial in Turin. Super talented, but still very raw and incosistent. He might blow up, but might also end up like Rafael Leao who is still like this at 26.

Btw, have you read anything about him recently? Is he going on loan or something? He was kind of expensive and not really reserves age anymore.

You guys were saying these awful pessimistic things about Kellyman too, and he is about to have his breakthrough year!

8 European club = Wigan Athletics, Shrewsbury Town, Selford City...

I thought mostly married folks have IG, exactly for the same reason.. Or maybe his agent/team handles his account and want to make some waves. I am not so convinced about this kid, feel his background(name, family, Barca/PSG past, looks) make him claim more attention than his performances. Rogers over him all day long.

Maybe a team with comfortable driving distance to Kaaba Stone. No European for sure. His wage is also super high, we can only sell him in England(or Europe) if he agrees a massive salary deduction. Perhaps we'll just keep loaning him out till his contract expires, same with Chilwell. I don't expect them to let their terms go as they will never be able to negotiate such deal again.

Following this logic, it is questionable wheter we can consider Jackson as a true striker aswell. He is closer to Joao Pedro than Delap, definetly not a classic 9 or poacher. His passes, runs and dribbles seem to be his biggest strenght, not his finishing. What I dislike about Jackson is that he is looking for his teammates too much, a striker must be a bit selfish and shoot when there's chance. Joao Pedro very impressively took his shots from longer distance against Fluminense, and also finished his 1-1 very elegantly, good to have a player who is able to do that things. Delap also didn't hesitate much against PSG, find his chances and fired.
