Lavia starting for Chelsea. Be interesting to see what he's actually like, also what a year of not playing has done.
Raheem Sterling, wants clarification about his future from Chelsea after being left out of the starting line-up against Manchester City.
How long is he there now? 2 years? 47.5mil fee over 5 years so if you take off 9.5 per year then they need to make 28.5mil selling him just to cover the remaining amortisation to fake break even. He will be 30 this year. Just the minor issue of 300k per week as well. In theory if they can get 30mil back then they've washed their face even though money has gone down the pan. The 15million in wages for a player they now don't want to play is the bigger issue. If I were an english clubs I'd be low balling the **** out of them but on those wages he's not going to move anywhere outside the likes of man utd. No more than 10mil given the wages required
They've made 35 signings in 2 seasons under Boehly. By comparison, you'd have to go back to either Firmino or Gomez from 2015 to list liverpool's 35 most recent signings
I wonder how many of the 35 will be considered hits. I presume that 35 has koulibaly and aubameyang in it? At this precise moment in time Palmer is the closest thing to a hit.
There was a graphic on MotD2 showing the players vying for each position - it was ridiculous, you can't possibly keep all those players happy.
Chelsea signing Felix now. I think he was on loan there and went back because Pochettino didn't want him. Another loan spell at Barcelona, another manager at Chelsea and it's about turn.
They are the biggest idiots ever They really do not care about performance in the executive level they are just washing dirty money or something.
It is really odd what's going on at Chelsea financially. It makes no sense. You were probably joking about washing dirty money, but that would t make sense either... You wouldn't launder money in such a public setting that's wide open to everyone. I suspect they're just fools who think if they spend enough they'll eventually start to make money.
Sont even think cheksea want him. They just want to get rid of Gallagher and to do so need to sign an Atletico player to give them money. They wanted the other striker and failed and now just settled on Felix - all so they can pocket £35m of pure profit on Gallagher.
Been harassing some woman who works on the One show allegedly. Must be a fair amount of evidence if they've sacked this quick, even pervert Huw got gardening leave first.
