Chelsea Transfers

[Vesper 30,091]

we are so lucky to be in the EPL

we are the ONLY league that can truly compete against the Saudi billions simply due to players wanting to play against the best players

sure, Barca, Real, and Bayern can do so individually on reputation and results alone

but even AC Milan, Juve, Inter, Atletico Madrid, Napoli, Dortmund, and yes PSG, (to lesser extent as they can also pay huge wages, even if not Saudi level) PLUS all the rest of the smaller teams in La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1, and the Bundesliga are FUCKED and will only become more so as all those leagues become more and more drained by the Saudis and their filthy lucre

but ffs it disturbs me to no end to see violence against women attempted to be gaslit away and claimed it never happened (as if, for example, Greenwood's partner beat the shit out of herself)

I actually agree with alot of your points, but I also stand by the fact, just because a women said it happened doesn't mean it did, the reason there is so much gaslighting is because there is so much false accusations from men and women, unfortunately the two come hand in hand, more recently you have underage boys and girls now going out in to clubs pubs what ever at the age of 14 with fake ID and they look 21, sleeping with adults males or females and shit just hits the fan.

He was a good young player, shame a drunken conversation was even recorded in the first place, if every one recorded convos of Thiers partners saying stuff when they are drunk the courts would be absolutely rammed everyday 

a shame?

yes, but NOT the way you mean

If she doesn't give enough of a shit to not get back with him, why should I?

her stupidly going back to him has nothing to do with lessening the brutish, criminal, violent beatings/treatment he inflicted and certainly does not erase or even marginally ameliorate Greenwood's horrid moral character as a human being

Clearly it does, she got back with him and bringing up a child around this violent horrible human being who's apparently bashed her head in a several occasions, if this is all true the only person I feel sorry for is then child.

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. 

my West Brom Baggie-loving m8 is just utterly despondent, lolol

you are confusing/conflating poor ex post facto life choices (ie going back to him after the abuse) with legal/moral clearance of horrific actions

I'm not confusing that at all, she is, she had the chance to put a woman beater behind bars and set an example for women everywhere that if she can do it to some one like mason greenwood, there is light at the end of the tunnel for other women, she didn't she dropped all chargers moved back in with him and had a child and now bringing that child up with a monster in here own description. Going back to my original comment of " I have absolutely no sympathy for here" I stand by that 100% there is no legal actions to even consider she made sure of that.

Could we take the rape discussions to the pub forum? I think it is important discussions and it saddens me that people that drug, rape women who are drunk get away with it by having access to well connected lawyers, let alone people that are absolutely guilty of beating, raping, and breaking the will of a person. 
 

It is however making this thread difficult to read. Our compliance to Brighton’s bullshit transfer games is irritating enough.

Only thing I could think of is his age. Because we bought Slonina

I’m just so sick of the club dealing with Brighton.. they keep taking our money and we aren’t getting any real value. There’s gotta be better deals out there somewhere that won’t take nearly as long. I’d rather we leave Caicedo there where he’s upset with Brighton and hands in transfer request and we get him in January. Brighton already have seemed to piss him off by not accepting any of our current proposals after what they told him last January.

The top 6 teams got what they needed in the transfer market and maybe only cosmetic changes remain for them , while for us   we are yet to think about a goalkeeper, another striker, at least 3 midfielders and possibly a defender.
The fact that for us the season ended back in March, players were expected to be targeted. Apparently nothing like that
