They seem to be going away from what made them good. Replacing macallister and caicedo is going to be tough.
Throwing more shit at a wall and seeing what sticks.
Honestly, they may aswell have just kept Tammy.
Romeo Beckham signs Brentford B deal
Romeo Beckham - son of former England captain David - joins Brentford's B team on a one-year deal from Inter Miami, with the option of an additional year.
www.bbc.co.uk
As it is, Brentford probably know what they're doing, and he'll be a superstar for them...
....for what it's worth, Brooklyn Beckham once sat on my neck (bear with me) when I was 'Doodles' doing an aftershow Tweenies 'meet & greet' at the M.E.N arena back in the day....
Paul Scholes, Phil Neville and their families were also there...
Not really related to this thread, except it was his brother!!
True story that!
Presumably, he's just to deputise for Nkuku.....?
Just how in the name of justice and fairness can Chelsea still be able to buy players?
Fcuk sake the PL need to get a fcuking grip.
Totally fcuking disgusting.
Rotten vile entity.

A real answer , the PL ffp rules are based on company accounts that are backward looking and their accounts covering the new spending haven't been published. We laugh at Spain and Barcelona but their rules are on current spending
Looks like it will happen, great move for him after 6 extremely successful years at City (14 trophies, fucking hell).
It's getting even sillier now, with the Arab countries beginning to wield way too much power.
Again the football authorities are complicit to this financial excess.
Creating footballers who are infinitely greater paid than their talent suggests and leading to an even greater distirtion from reality..

In fairness, he’s gone from loadsa money to absolutely fucking ridiculous money. Family will be set for generations to come.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he pops up at newcastle on loan next season and this is a ffp ploy.
True yes. But he was talking about playing in the CL, all the ambitions to win something significant, etc., then takes the easy money.
He's a footballer in the prime years of his career, already super wealthy and, as far as I'm concerned, he's wasting his talent in a crap league in a country that I have little respect for. (Remember Oscar at Chelsea? Disappeared in China and pissed away his talents). Plenty of time to cash-in towards the end of your career if that's ya thing.
Money and greed overrule everything for some folk unfortunately.

Thought it said he would go back to Sheffield when he left City?
Saying that I’d be delighted if Saudi teams swooped in for ndombele, dier and Sanchez
Agreed.
This is quite the coup for the Saudis whose league was in danger of becoming a rest home for the overaged, past-his-best superstar.
Great to see Modric resisting even though he had a massive offer.
Was just going to post about this, went down in my estimations as a footballer.
This signing could be the game changer. It’s relatively easy, with bottomless cash, to attract guys at the end of their career. Less easy to attract ones in their peak. Neves could be the first domino here.
FWIW, I think people underestimate the Pro League. Been going about 50 years and attract very decent and knowledgeable crowds. People who are questioning offering the old guys £200m a year when that gets them a couple of players like Neves instead.
And now four teams have basically been nationalized, with four more getting huge injections of “private equity” money (that has nothing to do with MBS or anyone he’s ever met, honest guv), their position of being around the 30th strongest league will be much higher soon enough.
