[Blue Armour 4,436]

Fucking bullshit again. Bunch of scumbags.

Hate FIFA. Hate Bayern

I hope both those entities go into fucking ruins.

As if the ban will be lifted in January. Be lovely but doubt it

In a recent presser Frank specifically mentioned that the ban included January, which suggests that this is the club's working assumption.

I would love to know the thinking behind CFC's decision not to ask for the ban to be suspended. If it really is because we want to minimise the risk of an extension, then we must have very little confidence in the strength of our appeal. CAS will decide if the appeal is valid or frivolous on its own merits. Even if they ultimately uphold the ban, CAS can still decide that at least we had good grounds for the appeal. Only if they don't think that, only if they think we've just wasted everybody's time, will there be a risk of further sanction. Hoping that, in those circumstances, they'll take it easy on us because we didn't ask for a suspension, makes it seem like we don't have much faith in our case. Makes it seem we're more worried about the ban being extended, than we are hopeful it will be overturned.

Because they know they're guilty. Hiring Lampard and resorting to youth was a deflection tactic by them to minimize bad press, no way would they have gone down that route if they hadn't fucked up.

TBF, even if we can buy in January, who can we realistically get? No clubs are sell their prized assets without asking for a big fee.

the only two of my prime targets that would be remotely available would be the superb winger Mikel Oyarzabal (Real Sociedad)  and the young 17yo potental superstar MF from Ajax, Ryan Gravenberch, who is playing with their junior team

and my wild card, AMF/Winger/CMF hybrid Talisca, from Guangzhou Evergrande which is apparently a deal only me and the now poofed UJ were the only people in football pushing, lolol

also a drop-down targets, RW  Samuel Chukwueze from Villarreal and RB Youcef Atal (OGC Nice)   

all the rest are on title chasers (League or Europe), other than Ben Chillwell (Leicester)  and NO WAY should we drop the 70 or 80m quid they will demand on him

and then possibly (and he is also overpriced and Palace may be in a relation battle and will not sell) Zaha

 Iñaki Williams would have been PERFECT, but he renewed for NINE years, and now has an insane 140m euro release clause

Ex-Chels nightmare mistake release (fuck the board in 2014, WHAT a disastrous year we had, KDB et al) Declan Rice and some backup keepers  and other positions not in critical need are the only others on non-chasers (and do not help us, I see o reason ATM for rice at the crazy £70-80m plus the Hammers will want (UNLESS we are looking at him as a CB, then that might get interstice)
