Blus Scum and FSG are selling their transfer mistakes to the Saudis. So IF the Saudis will give us decent money for Richy and IF he is willing to go - we should definitely look into it. We’d be stupid not to - maybe Richy comes good under Ange but he’s been a trainwreck so far - if we can get funds in the transfer kitty for him (say half of what we paid for him at 30M) then we should be all over it.

Why wouldn’t the Saudis want to prestige of having Brazil’s #9 for their sports washing operation? But no idea if Richy is the kind of guy that would be motivated by a big payday over all else.

I reckon he would. Doesn’t seem the type to have any real integrity. I mean he cheats all the time. Get the money and even a top level champo player who would do better. Of course he may this season turn out to be pure gold. However it’s more like the only gold will be his hair color and May be a necklace.

Any new centrebacks we get now, ha ha, will have hardly any proper matches outside training exercises before kick off. We don’t seem to be close to offloading any unwanted players not even to the oil states as others seem to be doing without much trouble. How many years since our new stadium opened and still no naming rights deal achieved. Our new Footballing supremo ,Scott Munn well where the hell is he?

This club really needs new owners!

It is a mess tbh. No DOF, Kane issue, past their sell by date players, planning for Kane leaving, youth system a shambles, list is long ..

Yes but I was responding to a post regarding Richarlison versatility and how he could play the wide role in conte’s system but not postecoglou’s.
Paratici just got the players conte wanted to a certain extent. Conte refused to play players brought for him. Paratici only left recently and is still acting as a “consultant”so we are still going for the same vision as you put in with some input on what AP wants imo.
Paratici was never the right fit for us and should never have been appointed, another master stroke from the board

Imo he was a terrible fit he wanted Nuno and that little Italian thug as our manager.
Got deals done 😂 yeah we had some real corkers especially the deal for Gil. 25m iirc lamela and later on we loaned them back Gil and Barca are still laughing for the 35m they got for Emerson 60 m for Richarlison the 12 month search for a CB and ending up with Lenglet on loan, 40m for a WB when we no longer play with WBs and even 45m for Romero doesn’t look great after a promising 1st year and he has failed to get many unwanted players of the books to the extent that we have a 35 man squad with no decent full backs or CBs but plenty of DMs and WBs that we no longer need.
Best place for him is prison he has done enough crimes to this club let alone what else he’s been up to

Spot on! Give him some pluses like benta , Sarr ( hope we don’t loan him again) and kulu first 6 months. Jury is well and truly out for him now.
 
Side note: Zaha went to Turkey for £3m sign-on and £80k a week (approx. £125k a week). Apparently despite being offered £200k a week by Palace. I don't know what's going on in that lads head, but I suspect 'fuck all'.

haha, this is a fucking brutal read, but you're not wrong. I would laugh my tits off if this happened to spam or scum.

Yep.

An absolute fucking disaster. I'll never forgive him for inflicting Clement Lenglet upon us alone, without even going through all his other fuck ups.

We should have buried him after Nuno FFS.

Does anyone think maguire has been treated badly by ten hag and might have a point to prove at his new club?
Maguire may look like a dope and have a clanger a game in him , but to see a dickhead like Fernandez becoming captain is a kick in the hole. I don’t recall maguire ever asking to be subbed off because he couldn’t handle feta beating.

Chelsea found a way to wiggle out of their financial mess. Unreal.

We can look at it with a defeatist attitude like that.

Or we could invest in the bloody academy and make young player signings like they do. We lost Madueke for pennies, Chelsea paid 40 mill for him. Meanwhile, Gallagher comes thru their academy, as does Loftus Cheek, as does Mount. They’re netting £100m from that trio alone.

And they aren’t stopping as well. They’ve bought a ton of 17-19 year olds and I guarantee at least a few will work out.

This is the way business is done in the football world and for whatever reason Levy doesn’t understand it. We need to make our academy world class.
