Why not, he's the leader of the group, transformed from the norm by the nuclear goop.

Chelsea have solved their striker problem by *checks notes* buying yet another midfielder who has scored 0 (zero) times for France in 34 attempts.

I too, am convinced Declan Rice would rather go out in the CL group stages and then play out his career in the Europa Conference League than join the reigning CL champions.

Loftus-Cheek has gone to Milan for £15m which seems crazily low. Not sure about the Chelsea strategy of selling players for low amounts and buying them for high amounts

It turns out if you're desperate as gently caress to sell someone, anyone, people offer you less for them.

Not sure how Chelsea could have foreseen the invention of supply side economics tbh.

That's gotta knock your confidence as a player, when the loving Saudis try to negotiate the fee.

I don't know what my price for going to Saud would be but it is a lot less than that.

lol at the idea of Gerrard poring over scouting reports, staying up all night watching video analysis and watching anyone live.

Also lol at the idea of the entire recruitment process being "I saw him play 8 years ago and I presume nothing has changed since".

Why are you disrespecting future Euros Winner Harry Kane?

You can't actually transfer international team OP.

The league? Spurs can’t even win a cup, Kane has won nothing so far, let’s not get too silly here.

I’m indifferent at “failing” at Bayern but watching Spurs go around like a sailor on shore leave buying up binmen? Always hilarious.

It's like the Audi cup means nothing to you.

Or me.

Or Anyone..

Bayern somehow losing 4 straight titles would be the best outcome from this, I think we can all agree that.

City has a sell-on clause too, which is another incentive for Southampton to push the price up.

Anyway, this might all be moot. I've seen reports saying Lavia wants to go to Chelsea now too.

That seems like a fitting end to this whole farce.

Meanwhile, John Henry looks set to make the most futile step possible...

Assuming you're kidding yourself you're competing with City, paying £53m for a guy that was dumped by City after playing 2 games feels like an error.

How does FFP deal with paying players out the rest of their deal to gently caress off anyway?

Very clever, amortise his fee over infinite years meaning he costs £0 (zero).

It's times like these you wish you had a better knowledge of Foo Fighters song titles. My poor brain just doesn't work that way.

Anyway, Chelsea fans will be up in arms when their players wind up spending everlong on the mend when they're trying to breakout of midtable mediocrity. Monkey wrench.

At this point Chelsea aspire to mid-table mediocrity.
