JLINGZ on his way???.......maybe he can sell his merch in the club shop :levywhoa:
 
...That's exactly the impression I get.

The front of their "pay us when we sign someone" tactics astounds me.

I thought cults like this only existed in the deep south of America.

It shouldn't be allowed but I guess it isn't against the law. All a bit weird and not on if you ask me. It's like walking up to someone in the street you don't know and just handing over some cash to them for no reason.
 
Might have made sense pre-Kulusevski but that slot is filled.
But that Kulu slot needs a back up. Love Moura but he is inconsistent. Lingard is a total buffoon but during that spell at West Spam he was excellent. I can see Conte liking his speed and directness on the counter attack, however I think he will end up somewhere he is guaranteed to start every week.

Chelsea have huge budget this summer, and the new chairman will spent it no matter what. The best we can wish for is they bring in flops.

I personally hope Barca gazump them to Rapninha, or destabilise him so much that he isn't committed to Chelsea.
If they spend £50m on Sterling, £40m on Ake, £70m on De Ligt... imo that's £160m of spending and they haven't even improved that much as a team. Neither of those CBs are as good as Rudiger, and Sterling can bottle big chances.
If they do that ^, we've probably had a lot better window despite spending slightly less.

Lingard ain't no right winger.

Generally agree, but what the chairman will or won't do is guess-work....... Their fans are having a very nervy window.
 

Reading youngster Tyrell Ashcroft has departed the club in favour of a move to Tottenham Hotspur.

The 17-year-old has been touted as an exciting young prospect given his performances for the U23s side last season.

However, the defender has now departed the Royals for North London, as confirmed by Tottenham.

3 reasons why Reading must do all they can to secure Leeds United transfer agreement

“This would be an excellent signing” - Leeds United midfielder wanted by Reading FC: The verdict
Ashcroft made four appearances in the Championship for Reading last campaign as the club narrowly escaped relegation under Paul Ince.

All four of his games for Reading came as starts, as he made his debut in a 1-0 loss to Millwall in November of last year.

His other three appearances came in December and January of last season, as the team lost three and drew one during that time.

Ashcroft’s playing time was reduced to only with the U23s side upon the arrival of Ince midway through the season.

Ince is now building a side to compete in the Championship once again next campaign, but he will be without one of the club’s more promising young talents.

Ashcroft joins Josh Keeley in arriving at White Hart Lane, where the pair will link up together as part of the Development Squad going into the new season.

The Verdict

This is a blow to Reading, who could have used the additional cover from one of their more exciting prospects.

Perhaps the lack of game time under Ince was an indicator that his time at the club was going to come to an end soon.


This is an exciting next step for Ashcroft in his career, and the opportunity to train at such an elite level will be good for his development.

It is unlikely that he will earn the same first team playing opportunities compared to if he had stayed at Reading, but he is still young enough that this shouldn’t be his biggest concern just yet.
 
You have to ask questions to where that money goes? Is it really that expensive to run a website? Don’t they get money from adverts on the site too?
I'd actually like to know if there is some kind of watchdog they can be reported to, as not only are they taking advantage of the (clearly!) mentally impaired under false pretence, but one of the guys running the scam is legit abusive to his marks, along with the abundance of questionable innuendo made to an audience which you would presume includes a number of minors...

However, with the internet being the wild west of the modern day, I very much doubt it...
