Or Pedro Gonçalves.

Wiki said he got 46 goals in 92 appearances for Sporting.

That can't be right, for an attacking midfielder?

It would be like having prime David Platt back.

The Athletic reporting that ManYoo are sniffing round Ollie Watkins. Dream on lads, no way NSWE sell the family silver these days

Mail reporting that Chelsea have agreed terms for Nicholas Jackson.

Fabrizio Romano saying they are activating his release clause €35m but there are three other clubs interested

“Chelsea have decided to activate the release clause for Nicolas Jackson!
Chelsea are set to pay €35m, discussing installments.
3 more clubs open to pay the clause; so Chelsea will be fast as player wants PL move.
Contract will be long, more than 5 year.
Here we go soon.”

Hasn't Watkins not long signed a new contract? I can't see how we would offer him a new contract with an activation cause of only two million more than what we paid for him.
If there was an activation clause, I would have thought it would have been something around the 50 million mark.

I think you’ve got a bit confused Dicedlam. I was talking about Jackson

[PaulWinch again]

He hasn’t signed anything yet has he?

Haha! easily  done these days!

I'm sorry Miss Jackson.

I'm sorry Miss Jackson.

That’s what my internal jukebox slipped into as well. Whoooooo.

Would be great If all the teams decided not to buy any Chelsea players and leave them with a bloated squad and lots of players that cant play on big wages ,  they should not be helping them unload their crap.


It's a joke what they keep doing , they need to be investigated .

I think this would actually be more effective than any FFP measures that probably won't be implemented anyway.

So does FFP only apply to certain clubs. It's a serious question. Some clubs  seem to be worried by it and others just don't seem to give a shit.

[Lastfootstamper]

I think fans are far more worried about FFP than are the clubs in the premier league. Unlike in the lower divisions, where I think there's a general acceptance amongst supporters and clubs alike that everybody's permanently skint and everything is about balancing the books.

Limit squads , limit loans and bloody limit wages ,  it is absolutely ridiculous the amount of money going out of the game that could be redirected into grass roots and sensible ticket pricing
