Him and Maatsen for £85m has been a total waste of money so far.

I agree. I still maintain our summer transfer window was very very poor

What the Chris Heck is an on-field presentation ?!

I don't know, but we probably could have down with one tonight.

Haven’t we discussed to death that the Maatsen deal is to get around PSR? We buy Maatsen for an inflated fee and Chelsea buy Kellyman for an inflated fee so we both stay within the rules.

Kellyman was worth £10m ish. Maatsen doesnt look a £25m player. He cannot defend.

It doesn't  really help us with PSR as we over spent on him and onana. Chelsea did us over  a barrel on that deal. Maatsen 20m player tops

£19 million actually. Having already bought Chuckwhatshisface for £20million.

The difference is, Kellyman has probably been given the keys to a big house somewhere and told to come back in June, and Chuk has been sent elsewhere, whereas we're actually having to use Maatsen.

He can't defend for shit, is my main problem, and we frequently find ourselves relying on his ability to defend, whereas Kellyman and Chuk might as well be vintage cars, houses or art works, they're basically just numbers on a balance sheet.

But you said the fee's were over inflated to get around PSR. Kellyman I would say could have been sold for £10m to anyone, meaning we valued Maatsen at £25m and he's soft as fuck defensively and looks like he wants to play as a winger.

Where is onana ? He's not only missed the battle , he's missed the war.
Frustrating.

In the tunnel, dressed like a clownshoe, doing exuberant high fives after we fluke past Chelsea, for the social media team, largely.

He's not good enough anyway, he gets nowhere near Kamara/Luiz at their peak.

The Chelsea keeper threw one in in the last minute. That's pretty flukey. And I'm referring to one match, not 'when we do win' in general.

But not about the very basic penalty not being given?
