Kid Dynamite 7029 Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 How do you spend £1,000,000,000 on transfers in 2 season and end up with Chelsea's starting XI? Half of them are on 8 year deals too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half of them are on 8 year deals too It’s not just that either. By that I mean they’d had massive investment for well over a decade before that too. It’s not like they were starting from where we were two years ago. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 33219 Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 FFP in full effect. Shovel money in, reap the the sponsorship rewards, (formerly known as speculate to accumulate), then prevent anyone else doing the same. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden McGroin 6585 Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Man Utd are so bad. Looks like top 5 is sealed but it’ll be a battle for sixth with a big bunch of teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will only allowed to offer deals reparations fair market value, in the case of “United” it does mean any sum less than a trillion is fine.

Holden McGroin 6585 Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 I’m glad Man City won. They are my only hope to win amongst the cretins up there. I’d much rather they won than the Hembarrasing Arses, Bin dippers and Beige cunts. I think spurs will be back in the hunt towards the end of the season if they can stay in touch until Maddison and Van de Ven returns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've an apparently suicidal high line, but Martinez is arguably the best goalkeeper in the world so it's not so much of a weakness. Watkins is prolific and the way Emery has them drilled they're really dangerous, regardless of the opponent. They've the ability to hit you on the break, or play through a solid defence. They're definitely up there on merit. Spurs may well fall away though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit like us last year in that they’ve been able to field the same team most weeks. They could get top 4 but I doubt even their most optimistic fan genuinely thinks they’re title contenders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top 4 is surely a lock for them now, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
