Finally found out why Chelsea are still doing the long as fuck contracts despite UEFA's new rules and it's hilarious
Turns out, the PL doesn't have the same rules yet, so by doing it, since they're not in Europe, they get the same benefit as before.
hahahahahahaha Chelsea aren't in Europe :)
Are they expecting never to qualify for the next 8 years? It doesn't add up though. I think they're just ripping the band-aid off and saying we'll take the fine or whatever and load up on young talent now. Ideally if they hoard enough young talent they can even ride out a transfer ban.
That is a problem for future Chelsea, fuck those guys
- Todd Boehly, probably
That makes sense. Now I just want to know why Lavia and Caiceido both prefer Chelsea over Liverpool. I guess cold hard cash and that's it? But it's not like Liverpool would be paying them in Mars bars and recycled copper piping or something.
I'd rather be part of a decent rebuild project where I could become a lynchpin in midfield, than be clueless Todd Boehly's latest import buy in a misfit system.
Disappointing that Tierney doesn't even make the squad for a game we went into with the intention of inverting Partey from the right.
Honestly, even just so that he's happy he shoulda been on the bench for that game. Can't understand why we would want to bin him off — unless we think that Zinchenko can magically stay fit playing every game this season. Who do we play in the CL for rotation? Even assuming Timber was available which he clearly will not be anymore, if we want to rotate, Tierney has to play. That or we only rotate in part and risk having one injury to our defence make the rest play as much as Saka. It's not like he's a bad player. As versatile as Tomi and Timber are, they can't play all spots at once, and Tomi's had several long injuries that make me worried about his long-term fitness.
Timber apparently a meniscus injury according to Benge
As crazy that it may seem, Tierney might be the best LB we have in terms of staying fit.
That's fucking terrifying lol.
Even he is injury proned...ffs we have no luck in terms of injuries even when we sign more players.
Just wondering if it's our medical team, the training methods, combination of, or just luck.
Yanited have not looked the same since they beat us preseason
so 3-6 months away for Juri, I hope there are no Long term consequences
I'm just hoping it wasn't an ACL, and it's just like something simpler that has less long-term shit... I hate this club sometimes. Can we please just get some better physios.
@Astrealix @HaleEndGrad isn’t our main physio leaving?
Here's a fun one: an unreliable tier source says Spurs are interested in Balogun
500m or fuck off for that lot
Would be funny if Flo turned them down.
"I'm desperate for regular first team football. But I'm not that desperate!"
Hear they came in some money, £104m with a buyback clause.

The Wolves were robbed, but seriously can they not find any player who can finish?
Didn't take too long for a VAR farce to screw a team over. Hope this isn't foreshadowing the rest of the season because last season VAR was an absolute affront.
Tale as old as time...O'Neil got "the apologies call" afterwards, hope he had a few choice words for them nutsacks
I don't even know why the Beer Cup exists - is it for Man Utd to claim that they're not trophyless? Abandon it and let players rest ffs
Is Mauricio approving all these signings? I don't remember him being this dumb. They just got another "youth prospect" striker from Santos.
Love when one club hoards more talent than it can ever hope to utilise and players join their ranks for the... um... vibes I guess?
Not everyone is as bright as Mikel Arteta Amatriain
