Briefcase Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) Chelsea are due a bad season (bad by their standards anyway) so may as well just get it out of the way with the transfer ban and start again next season. Take the hit this season, try bring in some youth players and then if its a terrible season you have reason to ship out some of the current squad and start all over again. I do think Allegri is a good shout though. Speaking of managers isn't Emery's contract up at the end of the season? Without trying to sound negative if Arsenal get off to a bad start (opening fixtures aren't easy) I could see a lot of pressure on him building throughout the season. Edited June 17, 2019 by Briefcase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Johnny Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I'm confident that a year of fiscal conservatism will finally get Chelsea to pull their ruddy socks up and learn that they can't go on relying on handouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Bifkin Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I am looking forward to Frank Lampard leading Chelsea's golden generation of youngsters to domestic and European glory next year. Any Chelsea fan who disagrees is probably a foreigner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not going to do anything this season, but maybe in 4-5. Without the ban we're 4-5 seasons away from completely collapsing anyway, what with an increasingly disinterested owner and there being very few managers left in the sea. Frank is a terrible decision mind, Latin GCSEs or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Bifkin Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 In news that will surprise no-one, smelly French cheat Michelle Platini has been arrested on corruption charges. Time for this country to pull out of UEFA too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awards Moderator Frankie Crisp Posted June 19, 2019 Awards Moderator Share Posted June 19, 2019 Looks like Wan-Bissaka to Man. United is a done deal at £55m. Excellent business for us, assuming we don’t buy ten Jordon Mutchs, and in him that lot have got an incredible talent. He’ll be England’s RB quickly and for years to come, and they’ll either have a diamond for a long time or will make a shitload of profit if they sell him when a big club comes in for him. Been a Palace fan for nearly 35 years, a season ticket holder over a decade and he’s in the top three talents I’ve seen in our shirt*. He’s only 21 and he’ll just get better. * yeah, yeah. I know.

Paid Members PunkStep Posted June 19, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted June 19, 2019 Who else is in your top 3? I'd go with Joel Ward and Marouane Chamakh. You'll spend a bit of that money on Max Aarons, who must be good if United were looking at him as an alternative to Wan-Bissaka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I read City were dropping £50m on Cancelo. A back up right back. What a time to be alive, Steve Nicol would be worth £100m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Ambrose was too good to be rated. But yeah, Max Aarons is the number one target and I’d be happy if we shell out a few bob for him. Whilst AWB is an exceptional talent, the level our club’s at doesn’t warrant panic when it comes to replacing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted June 19, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted June 19, 2019 Gorgeous Gomes for 22m is just sensational business. Particularly in today's market where I maintain I'm worth at least £500,000. It's an outrageously cheap fee for a player of that quality. Everton basically had a pedal all over Bareclona's back and made them clean up the mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
