[Special Juan 27,440]

Sounds like Pulisic is close to the exit, small amount between clubs apparently but expected to happen

I am not worried

What the hell’s going on with our shirt deal, btw? As awful as this deal with Stake sounds, how have we STILL not formalized something yet? Having new signings holding up last season’s shirt is some amateur hour shit.

He was the public face of a consortium that bought and now own the club. He himself owns a %, but Clearlake Capital (cofounded by Eghbali) are the main owners and (real) decision makers. 

Clearlake own 60% of the club. The rest of the shares belong to Boehly, Walter, Wyss and some smaller investors together. Of this 40% group Boehly has by far the largest personal stake (rumored to be around 20%) as well as the right to represent these 'silent partners' in any decision making process.

According to multiple reliable reports the voting rights between Clearlake and Boehly's group are split 50/50, despite the shares being 60/40 in favor of Clearlake.

So whichever way you put it Boehly has a massive say in what happens around the club and is not just a 'public face'. Which is okay, as long as he's learnt (and continues to learn) from previous mistakes. I for one think it's a sign of some decent progress that he's taken a step back and is trusting people with more football knowledge to do stuff in his stead, but of course the jury is still out.

Boehly is NOT doing the transfers

It's bad enough having to tell opposition fans this.

That's like saying are Chelsea fans that wanted Potter to stay around March really fans when the the entire globe knew he is out of his depth?

To be fair Potter should have stayed until the end of the season. The Lampard fiasco turned out as bad as possible.

Agree here but some here wanted him for at least 2-3 years even mocking people that we're saying he had to go come summer.

I get the feeling that it will end up being closer to 90 million.

many of them already sucked and now they are good again.

suddenly, as havertz is reinforced by the arsenal, he is already a generational talent again.

the truth is that, with some of these players, we never got past 74 points, which was the best score and had a lot of merit from tuchel.

the team's problem was always the midfield and the attack, and not so much the defense, because the creativity always came from the defensive fullbacks.

to make a point of comparison, we won the 2012 champions and many of them were no longer good enough to fight for the championship again, so much so that we had to change many pieces to have a team to fight for the title again and win it in 2015.

what is happening right now is similar to what happened at that time. 

my fear is selling so many at once and being afraid of the replacements, although caicedo is a great player and I think the next one will be Kessie and I think he is a good bet.

I wonder if we'll end up signing someone who is older than 21. Caicedo is 21, the GK from Shakhtar is 21, Gabri Veiga is 21.

At least Nicolas Jackson just hit he 22 milestone on the 20th of June. 

We need experience. Relying on Kepa, Reece, Silva, Chilwell, Nkunku and Sterling only is not enough. 

Especially in the midfield area, we need someone more experienced to help Enzo and Caicedo, should he sign for us.
