The Mudryk saga absolutely sealed this for me. He was so obviously being paid to push Chelsea’s agenda.

In the end, I’m quite grateful in that case.

 

Lmao £25m?! Are they taking the piss?

 

GREAT QUESTION! Because we have apparently 0 desire to transition youth talent to the first team, I am not sure anyone can answer it for you since he never sees the field. He was included as part of the CWC roster only to ride the bench for most of it. That's the biggest reason he wants out, so he can see field time.

I'm very interested in seeing him fill the role while Davies is out with injury and give him a chance to prove himself this fall before he follows Vidovic, Kratzig, Tillman, Zirkzee, Yildiz, and others I'm sure I'm forgetting, out the door.

 

Chelsea news: Bayer Leverkusen interested in Raheem Sterling

Lmao, how did anyone at Leverkusen watch him playing for us last year and think "We can fix him"

 

I could be completely wrong…but the way I read this whole MGW thing is that the Forest owner knows he can’t prove Spurs did anything illegal when triggering the release clause. But he is still furious about it. So he is stalling the best he can, hoping another club swoops in and offers more so he can take that deal instead. And I think most clubs are more likely to steer clear of the drama. So I’d bet it eventually happens. But my god is it annoying.

 

I don't want to stereotype the Dutch, but ten Hag definitely visits certain cafes in Amsterdam.

 

“Tottenham have entered the race for Rodrygo” is something I just read. I want to be excited. But I know it isn’t real.

 

I’m not totally convinced Rodrygo is worth the money Madrid will get for him. I’d obviously be happy with it haha but 90m sounds crazy considering his production.

 

Just to add a wee update to the WTF are Celtic doing in the transfer window...

We start our league season in 12 days and there are reports stating we're letting our winger Yang, go to Norwich on loan presumably with an option. The principle of this is sound as Yang probably isn't good enough for us - the same with Luis Palma who has went to Poznan and Marco Tilio who is going to Rapid Vienna - but with these three wingers having left/reported to be leaving this week. We are now left with Maeda and Forrest as our only two senior wingers. This comes after a month old report stating we bid £1.5m for a winger and his team wanted £5m.

We'll see tomorrow when we fly to Italy for our final two friendlies if its the truth about Yang but to go into a league season with two senior wingers, with our bank balance and having sold Kuhn for £17m is a disgrace.

 

Chelsea in the process of wrapping up Simons and now are in talks for Hato.

I hate them.

 

Think I'll give this Arsenal v Milan match a watch.

 

If Madrid are truly willing to sell Ceballos for 15-20m, United and Tottenham should be airlifting a check to Madrid immediately.

 

I'm having a wonderful time procrastinating at work watching the game. More midweek lunch time games please!

 

Ethan looks like he has taken a big step up. Absolutely bossing the game.

 

The children are coming on. Dowman and Salmon are both about their debuts at 15 and they’ll get half hour.

 

They were born after I started posting in the ap.net football thread. Disgusting.

 

Shouldn't be allowed.

 

Dowman looks ready, honestly. Nichols and Salmon have been good too but think they need more time.

Hale End just churning out ballers and they’re all 15/16 years younger than me Jesus Christ.

 

Torriani looks like he's going to be an excellent keeper.

 

Tottenham squad is so bloated we added another friendly for Saturday. Two friendlies in the same day in effort to get everyone minutes. Insane lol we need to sell some dudes.

 

Not a great boost for your confidence, I imagine

 

The Lyon/Forest transfers have been so fucking dodgy

 

Botafogo are involved, too.
