Aye true that. I keep coming here refreshing the page and seeing fuck all except idle chit chat. I want to see twitter links and bullshit articles conjoured up by the media.

Yet another day goes by with zero transfer news. Is Caicedo our one and only target for the entire rest of the window? Is that why we don’t see more activity?

Cumming, Humphreys, Santos, Casadei, Maatsen, Carney, Gallagher, and Gabriel all being assessed before a decision is made. 

Don't want to buy a player when we already have one just as good at home.

Well, court is the one to judge, but I'll just note that Mendy's case was way more complicated and nuanced, than usual false accusation for quick cash - can't find any good breakdown of the case, but seems like there was multiple accusations from what turned out to be a group that knows each other and was ruled false, but there was also like two other, that jury had trouble to decide on that easily, so it had to be based on something. Reports of covid parties, booze and substances in some mansion… this kind of cases is usually difficult, painful, not obvious and mean being submerge chin-high in shit. 

 

And on topic - Cherki was considered having "exciting career awaiting him" since like FM19. How long should we wait until something to back this excitement?

Pretty sure we have a sell on clause.

Btw that's something what bothers me since the CHO allegations - I'm aware footballers often aren't the brightest eggs in the basket, but knowing how the word is and that they are public figures, why the hell do they engage in random sexual activity with random people they can't really trust and that often scream trouble from miles ahead, without clear consent and often involving substances. Geezus, shot yourself some bromium or go for running session if you can't freaking control yourself in manner that enables you not to destroy your career/life. Doubt this stuff was ever worth it. And of how many cases of blackmailing etc we don't publicly know?

Villa with a solid transfer window. This years competition will be as tough as never

Yep. Very good signings for them so far. They’ll be a genuine top 6 threat. 

[NikkiCFC 8,286]

They were top6 last season. If you look table last half season only City won more points. Top4 in last 25 games of 38. Basically with Emery they are there. Pau Torres, Tielemans and Diaby. They strengthen every line with 3 great players for just around 70-75m pounds.

Brighton again - some rants on here incoming lol

Yes, but they now have Emery’s favorite competition to contend with which he will obviously take VERY seriously. They will be very solid, no doubt, but they’ll have a real juggling act to maintain their levels in so many competitions. Clubs that overachieve like they did tend to struggle the next season when they have Europa League football.
