WTF? How can you deny team having a legal, legit sponsor? Ridiculous and scandalous.

It's not quite in line with basic freedom of business too, I guess.

So he chose not to play with Ronaldo 😂

Kinda crazy City were able to land Haaland and Alvarez in the same window, you can argue Kane and maybe Toney are better than Alvarez. Meanwhile in the last twenty years all of our strikers signing have flopped outside of Drogba, Anelka, and Costa.

And Giroud.

I'm not going to waste my time trying to convince anybody that the majority of the current squad have been nothing short of a disgrace and there is certainly no convincing me otherwise. Many of these players are overrated..  the winning of the CL was a team effort and had nothing majorly to do with the excellence of individuals. If anything the stand out player of that campaign was Rudiger. The other trophies are in all honesty mickey mouse trophies that nobody really gives a fuck about. 

N'golo. MOTM in Ro16 vs Atleti, semi vs Real and final.

My concern is where are goals coming from? This is our biggest concern last couple of years but I really think next season it could be even worse. I mean, everything suggest this is going to happen.

Season 20/21 our top 10 goalscorers:

Werner 12

Abraham 12

Giroud 11

Mount 9

Havertz 9

Jorginho 8

Ziyech 6

Pulisic 6

Zouma and CHO 5 all will be gone.

Season 21/22:

Lukaku 15, Havertz 14, Mount 13, Werner 11, Jorginho 9,  Ziyech 8, Pulisic 8. Again all top7 scorers gone. And it is interesting how we always sell our best goalscorers.

This season it was Havertz with just 9. Yes, non of them was very good we all know that but what is left for next season?

Jackson, Broja, Fofana - 3 unproven youngsters. Madueke and Mudryk showed nothing yet that they can be reliable and Sterling is on decline last couple of years. I dont see double digits player there.

This is our strikers and wingers. Nkunku is big hope but even if he performs well it will not be enough for sure. We are pretty much betting on a lot of unproven kids.

I see so many say, 'but but, buy an established star CF'

well

there is just not that many viable buy CFs to choose from:

 

I agree. But in that case, letting go of Havertz is a strange move

I understand with older players but going there in prime...

Money is the main motivator for most modern footballers. This is just the beginning of what could become a shitstorm, unless something intervenes as in China.

Think people should only start getting concerned about the Saudi league when actual top talents at big clubs in their prime years decide to go there when they have offers from big European clubs. For now it’s all either mid 30’s stars who are after one last mega paycheck before retiring or players who have stagnated at big clubs (like Ziyech, Koulibaly etc) and don’t have top shelf offers in Europe.

When you start seeing players aged 22-28 starting to go there from massive clubs then we have a problem.

[ZAPHOD2319 4,820]

I thought this would be impossible this window. Thank you Todd for going over and cooking with the Saudis.

 

[ZAPHOD2319 4,820]

KK has already approved it.

3 weeks since last game. Pretty much nothing happened yet but things will start happening from tomorrow. 

On the other hand Perez already said after Jude and Joselu Real window is done. 

[Mhsc 1,098]

It’s a miracle. Saudi literally to the rescue. God I hope Lukaku goes there for a decent fee, what a turnaround that would be. My only other desire for his career is that we use him to serve food at Cobham and clean the toilets until his contract is up.

[NikkiCFC 8,341]

For Lukaku offer only 25-30m.

[Pizy 18,959]

Feels like we’ll 100% be seeing some activity this coming week. Get KK, Mendy and Ziyech out the door before they or the Saudi’s change their minds. Jackson should be sealed this week and Nkunku should be officially announced if Fabrizio is to be believed.

Doubt we’ll be able to get Caicedo or some other midfielder in this week, though.

Now if only we could get someone to take Pulisic, RLC, and CHO off our books we’ll have cleared out nearly all of the deadwood. And we’ll have also cleared out some massive wages.
