http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/32784375 FFP was more or less scrapped unofficially a couple of years back, conveniently right around the time PSG started to spend big, funny that, isn't it Mr Platini? (Glad that prick is gone).
Yep it's been f'ed up for a few years now. I wouldn't be surprised to see a billion pound signing in my lifetime soon.
Anyone watching Spurs vs Chelsea? Alonso's free-kick was inch perfect, but since the Chelsea goal, Spurs have been all over them. If Chelsea don't fix up soon, it's only a matter of time before Spurs score. They've gone close a few times already. Rudiger and Christensen have been struggling in defence. Especially the former, who has been given the runaround by Kane.
Morata is extremely isolated and Chelsea can't push up because Spurs keep winning the ball back from them. Conte needs to make some changes because they're getting overpowered in midfield and have no threat going forward with everyone so deep in their own half.
Alonso! 2-1! Two goals for the left-back. Spurs' defending there was absolutely diabolical, Lloris should have saved that comfortably!
Swap Alexis for Messi? http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/...jean-michel-seri-andres-iniesta-a7905351.html
Chelsea line up Thomas Tuchel to replace Antonio Conte at Stamford Bridge http://metro.co.uk/2017/08/23/chels...ace-antonio-conte-at-stamford-bridge-6871866/ Loads of rumours of Conte being sacked across all the papers and social media. Would probably be the most ridiculous decision by them to date.
Looks like PSG are set to sign Mbappe for £135m. They are going to have to offload a few. They have some real quality in that squad. Think we should go for Lucas Moura and Draxler/Rabiot/Pastore. .
I would love any of those guys but it's hard to tell whether we're still in the market because of our existing baggage. So far we've off loaded Gabrielle and possibly Gibbs soon, but those are defensive players. We still have a whole raft of attacking forward players, so i can't see anymore coming in. Personally i would target a Cazorla type player, as i think we will struggle without him. But we don't seem to be in the market for one. We will regret that decision.
There's very few 'Carzorla types' around. Seri is a very similar player. But I also think Lemar was targeted because he has some of those qualities on the ball (despite a different starting position) - But yeah the squad misses Carzorlas creativity and ability to speed the game up. I still think we need to toughen up and adding some power/physicality to the side would help. We're also very bad in the air so a signing like Van Dijk would be great as he would address both issues.
I agree, Van Dijk would improve us, but i fear that he wasn't in our primary targets and other teams are more desperate for his signature. Also i'm not sure that Wenger is after a defender.
Not sure we should be losing so many defenders so late in the transfer window unless we have concrete replacements. I don't think it helps a team to run close to transfer deadline day.
Come on now - Why would you assume anything soo rational? We do crazy last minute transfer business almost every year.
Maybe one-day we will have a boring transfer window where we get all out business done in the first month and a half and then prepare the team for the new season. Wishes wishes...
