Ah, two years ago we brought a centre back into the team who ended up not being here the same time the following year, and then this time last year we signed a left back who ended up not being here the same time a year later. And they were two good seasons. This time next year we'll have more...

I tend to agree, but then we had Ben White for just one season, he was great, Cucurella for just one season, he was great, and if Colwill is just one season too, we don't get the transfer profit but if he costs us nothing at all that's fine. Pre Cucurella many peoples choice for best...

I said it earlier and will say it again - this is a new Chelsea ownership, new board and new sporting director - "Chelsea don’t sell top talent without one" applies to the old regime and we don't know if it applies to the new one yet.

Looks like the going rate for our defenders at the moment is 50m+ Soz

Destiny, Angelino and Gomez... are we trying to form the new Spice Girls? :p

I know little about it and I'm sure it's not possible for everyone. But with interest rates so low its daft for anyone not to be on a fixed rate mortgage

This talk of buybacks, that is indeed what Chelsea have liked to do. But that was under the old ownership. Now they've got a new owner, new director of football, who's to say they will still follow the old model.

Why? I'd do exactly the same as the club. Although less effectively, no doubt :p

True though. We don't stand in the way, except in cases of a,b, etc. Its also the right thing for us to do. Not standing in the way is accepting 42m for Kalvin Phillips, or Saints selling Mane for 30m. We stand in the way all the time, Stephens, Dunk, Bridcutt, White to Leeds, Ashworth...

Reckon? Got him out of Barca reserves and into Getafes first team, quickly moved him onto the Premier league shop window, and within a season he's got two of the biggest clubs in the world trying to buy him and he'll soon be playing in the CL and possibly World Cup. All by the time he's 24...

It's also a bit selective from Naylor as well, to be fair. "Brighton don't stand in the way of any member of staff bettering themselves, provided the price and timing is right for the club". Or, to put another way, Brighton do stand in the way of members of staff bettering themselves if the...

Well, its what a lot of people think our policy is, but I'm not so sure it plays out exactly like that. What have we actually sold? Bissouma, sold after four years and >100 games in the last year of his contract, Burn, after 4 years, 70 odd appearances and now the wrong side of 30, and Ben...

Why do Chelsea want to spend that much on Cucu? They've already got Ben Chilwell

The England men pulling off their medals last year was one of the worst pieces of bad loser petulance I've ever seen. Hated them for it. They all gave us a great month of enjoyment that raised national spirits during the pandemic and we were proud of them, coming just short but giving us all...

Who is this supposed to be uncomfortable for though? For me, I cannot imagine being more excited and buzzing if England's men win the Euros, than I was last night. And I'm absolutely fine with that. Bring on the World Cup next year I say, at this moment in time I'm looking more forward to that...

Me too, really enjoyed the game i went to at the Amex and all the games on TV. But I for one am definitely going to see the Albion play WSL games, today I'm booking tickets for the first game against Villa. To be honest I've little choice as both my daughters are demanding it, but kidding if I'm...

I read second hand a quote from an Athletic article about transfer requests: “It takes the heat off the owners,“That’s the only reason to do a transfer request in this day and age, so it convinces the supporters that the player doesn’t want to be there and that the club aren’t willing sellers.”...

It's harsh on Cucurella that he will ultimately be remembered by us for this, just because City want to lowball us. Arsenal came in early in the window, got to our valuation of White quickly and without leaks, and they gave us money and time to buy a floppy haired defender from Getafe. White...

Good. Seems like they're going to immediately assess the take up off the back of the euros, and if good we could see more there. I understand there is a limit on number of events that can be held there each year, wonder what is the maximum number of games they could switch to the Amex?

Just a prediction. The 'If Welbeck remains fit' part of your post isn't a minor disclaimer' but a serious concern. Hopefully he does stay fit, but it will be by regulating his minutes, can't see him playing every game. But regardless, I have really good vibes about Undav, and I don't think he's...
