OFFICIAL FOOTY THREAD ⚽️: Rodri wins 2024 Ballon d’Or

[rolaholic]

£600M spent over 6 months...

I don't care about the long term spiel they spun when they hired him, Graham Potter is officially on the clock after this sort of outlay man

There's gonna be no bedding in period whatsoever after that sort of outlay. The pressure's gonna be very real right away because missing out on CL football is gonna become extremely costly for them now.

He's about to discover what being Chelsea's manager is all about.

 

[AZwildcats]

Glad to see Enzo in, feels good to have Chelsea this ambitious in the market.

I feel bad for Caicedo, the Brighton fans/media are gonna vilify him for the rest of the season. I also don’t see why Brighton wouldn’t take that money for him

 

[rolaholic]

Boehly is a mad lad. This transfer window has been ridiculous

Just pulled off the most expensive transfer window ever....in Winter

**** is insane man

We need a stronger adjective than Silly SZN now because of him

 

[AZwildcats]

Take care of our boy d3si @swerve MetalMario AZwildcats

I feel for him man, pressure is gonna be astronomical on him

He’ll be fine. He got thrown into Argentina’s starting lineup during the world cup and played a huge part in winning it all. He can handle the pressure.

chelsea forreal had a fifa window
they still try and resign kante?

 

[rolaholic]

Not even a team but...the government?

 

[rolaholic]

Whew

 

[8pm at msg]

Jesus saves, Boehly spends

Yes, they intend to extend Kante. The rumor is that they offered a three-year deal

 

[rolaholic]

With all the hoopla going on rn, what's gonna happen with Lukaku when he comes back from loan?

He cost 115M the summer before last yet he might not even have a spot in the team when he gets back

 

[AZwildcats]

Honestly man, I’d give him a run in the squad. Especially since the move at Inter has not worked out at all

I'd like to see that too with the talent that'll be there around him but can't help but think he'll be relegated to a squad player after the likes of Nkunku and Mudryk are firmly established starters.

**** might even throw Felix into the mix too if you guys end up making his deal permanent

Gonna be a lot of bodies

 

[8pm at msg]

I think Lukaku should be kept on perpetual loan

I don't want him back here getting his Cancelo on cause he misses Conte

 

[haicheo]

Can’t believe RM didn’t take Cancelo when we have no fullbacks currently and he can play RB and LB. Seemed like a pretty low risk move to see if he’s worth signing at the end of the season too.

Im assuming a big reason is they didn’t want to get in to a loan + obligation to buy on a player and having an overloaded squad for next season.

We all know that no matter how this season ends there will be a new Manager at the club come June.

 

[rolaholic]

If Conte survives the season there, could see him demanding Levy to sign him

Could also double as a Kane replacement depending on how his contract situation plays out

They finna lose Kane, so why not.

Ziyech loan fell through after Chelsea sent the wrong documents to P$G 3 times to torpedo the deal







The LFP will file an appeal to get an extension granted to sort the paperwork amid the sabotage

 

[LA Diggler]

Why did Spurs have Porro dressed like the Pied Piper of R&B? Nasty.

 

[rolaholic]

Gotta feel for Ziyech, that's the 2nd time he was done dirty on deadline day.

He was supposed to go back to Ajax in the summer before Chelsea played hardball.

They better hope that appeal works because angering P$G tends to backfire for clubs though...

 

[d3si]

Damn, I feel Ziyech

Geez, three times? Suppose they cannot use the dodgy fax machine excuse? Just kidding

PSG staffs were probably dealing with Chelsea interims

 

[ronaldo nazario]

Guessing that's a play on Zorro.

 

[Bantz Lord T]

Guessing that's a play on Zorro.

Bingo.

 

[MetalMario]

I'm flabbergasted at the amount spent this window as well. Somewhere out there Roman is smiling about Chelsea going from russian eccentric billionaire to american billionaire

sidenote: The hustle thats being going on for years I'd be damned if I see a news article saying Covid took a huge toll on Liga NOS clubs. prolly had paid vacations all the way down to the ballboys

 

[Bantz Lord T]

Smart move by Arsenal to bring in a trophy magnet as they’re trying to win da Prem
