After a four year investigation from breaches going back to 2009. Might as well hand them another title in the meantime, then.

I know everyone wanted City relegated to the National League and Pep thrown to the prison posse by 5pm on the day the charges dropped, however that isn't how things work and this case seeing the light means that City could be in real trouble. 

One thing I don't get with the view that City are going to get a slap on the wrist is the following: 

a) why did the PL drop 115 charges on them

b) why did the PL even charge them if they are only going to bend over down the line, as they didn't need to do this. 

c) why have City gone as far as to counter sue the PL if a deal was in place. 

d) how does letting City do what they want help out the other PL clubs, who are the other ones that 'own' the PL? 

The reason this has taken so long is owing to legal due process. Civil cases always taken longer. Look at how long the Post Office scandal (for example) has taken to come out etc.

It's probably because of who they are and the EPL's lack of notable action thus far. Do the FA actually have it in them to make an example of City, or are the likes of Everton & Forest their main concerns?

Given who the likely alternative is, that's fine by me.

According to @rubenuria, Chelsea is about to sign Joao Felix soon, maybe tomorrow, and they have given in.

Josh Acheampong and Tyrique George are the two teenagers that Chelsea rate highest. (via @TheAthleticFC)

[mkh 760]

Leeds United and other Championship clubs are weighing up a move for Bashir Humphreys before deadline day.

Chelsea are believed to prefer the outright sale of the centre-back, who has been training with the club's loan group at Cobham before a potential move.

Exclusive: Alex Matos is nearing an exit from Chelsea. Most likely option currently is a permanent exit abroad. The 2 clubs leading the race are RC Lens and RC Strasbourg.

Lens is the players’ preferred destination, but they are yet to agree a fee with Chelsea.

This is what they do in baseball. Our owners are baseball owners.

Nah, in baseball the common thing is to trade a big haul of young prospects for a single superstar. I’m actually surprised we haven’t tried that yet! 🤣

BREAKING: Oscar Bobb has fractured a bone in his leg and is now set for a prolonged spell on the sidelines. The injury is yet to be fully assessed.

Chelsea’s talks with Napoli over a possible deal for Victor Osimhen are progressing and there is a belief from sources that their asking price has dropped.

We’re definitely getting a striker bomb this week from a player we’ve never been linked to...

Is it Evan Fat by chance? Seriously, the Kid looks heavy esp for his age. Young Rooney?

Sad how right he is.

Even in a world where Frank can be passed off as Caitlyn,pretty sure 6th is in the top half of the premier league.

Understand Chelsea will depending on Outgoings look at Signing a central Defender before the window Slams Shut ✅

Club have monitored Murillo from Nottingham Forrest for a long time now but fee at this stage looks unlikely but one to keep an eye on late in window 🔵✅

[mkh 760]

With Napoli finally willing to go below £100million for Victor Osimhen, Chelsea would also have to substantially lower Romelu Lukaku’s price.

Exclusive: Chelsea striker Mason Burstow is closing in on a permanent move to Hull City. The club are ready to sell a host of players who didn't get on the club's pre-season tour of the US.

We’d be stupid not to pick him up for £42m , especially as we’d be recouping a lot of it by selling a terrible footballer in Gallagher 

The Gallagher deal collapsing with other player is only reason he’s in the picture: he wasn’t even a target until then. So yes it is stupid. Plus as keep saying - where does he play? As a 10? Nkunku is better and Cole is a good shout for there. Maresca’s winger stay high and wide to provide the width. He isn’t a natural winger so another poor fit given he tends to try and play in the pockets.

So wouldn't that render cole and neto surplus as well?

Not really, that actually suits Neto a lot as it allows him to isolate his fullback in 1 on 1s a lot more easier because usually with fullbacks tucked infield the opposite either wide man follows them creating those sort of passing opportunities for the winger or lets them go and we have another man in MF. 

Cole also has shown he can do this role starting a lot wider but I do think we may see him more centrally eventually with Maresca if he implements this inverted fullbacks and wingers high and wide.
