I think it's a combination bud. I reckon some of the players in our squad could, and have had offers but they believe they should be in the CL. Delusional...It's not a shame, it's sad indictment of where our squad is.
It's also the effects of our terrible purchases in past years. A DoF would help, but the core problem is the players we bought and the salaries we put them on.It's just Barca have been hawking him around all summer, which has led to scores of links at other Clubs. Nothing got done because the terms to take him weighed heavily in favour of Barca, so no Club was interested. It's all about Barca getting his astronomical wages off their books.
It's gone down to the wire because of the terms but now Clubs are smelling an opportunity in the last 48hrs of the window as Barca might have to move on their terms. 100% this would have peaked our interest and is worth seeing what could be negotiated (although personally I'm hugely dubious of the motive of the player, his injury record, and his desire to get back to Barca when loan finishes - we aren't some school for invalides recovery so they can get back to their club).
Our target is clearly Johnson (or one of him with a couple of irons in fires used to smoke out or fall back on as alternatives).
Any issues we have regarding getting rid of players though his hugely frustrating, especially as the players concerned aren't on massive PL wages. It's this area where we are underperforming and we are still feeling the effects of not having Munn and/or another under him with our Sporting Director/Technical Director operations. Still reflects on poor planning and execution.
Have we replaced kane yet?Calvert fucking lewin !?!
Fuck the Mail, what's NewsNow saying??Mail online saying we want eze. Reckon we could chuck in a few rejects as part of the deal. Also think we should go for Calvert-lewin and offer richarlison as part of deal. Let's be honest hes been a flop.

Sterling has been their best player by a mile playing on the right. I'm pretty sure Poch considers him the main guy for that position and is not considering to move him away from that position.Well, I thought my point was pretty clear: Sterling normally plays on the left side but since Chelski do not have a quality player right now for that LFW position right now Sterling is played there (and may well be there permanently).
I am sure Jackson, Mudryk, Chukwuemeka, Diego Moreira, Nkunku and several others could play there if they are asked to...

That's a superb move for all parties. Ipswich or Coventry would have been where I'd have liked to see him spend a season, both develop youth well.
Training body for our physio department?!Calvert fucking lewin !?!
Sterling has been their best player, yes....and time will tell where Palmer will be played...Sterling has been their best player by a mile playing on the right. I'm pretty sure Poch considers him the main guy for that position and is not considering to move him away from that position.
the likelihood is that Poch will go with 4-2-3-1 with Palmer eventually occupying that central role (at least until Nkunku comes back).
Have we replaced kane yet?
It's saying we've sent out a bid of $110million to Madrid for RodrygoFuck the Mail, what's NewsNow saying??
we're definitely bringing someone in if that happens.
But better thank Skipp and probably Hoijberg too.Conor Gallagher could be our Jude Bellingham. Without the technique of course, but hey, a wildly overrated attribute. Gallagher is something like a much less talented version of Bellingham.
I look forward to seeing him live out for usIt's saying we've sent out a bid of $110million to Madrid for Rodrygo
