Cheatski are still scum

Will be interesting to see if they manage to turn it around. Just popped onto the shed end forum and some of their fans seem happy that the 3 promoted clubs are so bad as they can see themselves getting relegated under Bohley!
 
Apparently Poch has urged for more transfers in January.

The gall displayed is staggering.

It would be funny but I can see them cracking on with another spending spree in January and somehow getting away with it..If the risk is getting fined some pocket money then why wouldn't they.

Whilst I don't think either player individually is terrible by any stretch they were tremendously fortunate to bring in such huge fees for Mount and Havertz which somehow made things look alright FFP wise despite the billion quid outlay..

If they just get to spin the wheel time and time again it is a joke and it doesn't need to be said but for clubs that actually have to / choose to work on an actual budget, it's not a level playing field.
 
This list is bonkers! And only a few have featured as far as I know.
Add the 20 or so the year before, and it's madness! Getting so little out of so much is incredible!

You look at that list and add in modric and Carrick who would have been on it for their time and we demand big fees but you can't say that the buyers don't get value for money in comparison to some of the flops on there.
 
As Gallagher is a youth product, selling him gives total profit on their books and so more room for manoeuvre with incoming transfers. They'll really have to consider a decent offer that might come in for him.
He really cannot be judged much on displays in blue this season, but his busy work for Palace really indicates a player of promise who could be used well by Ange.
Sarr, Gallagher, Bissouma and Bentancur as midfield options is a strong list.

I don't see him as enough of a threat creatively/goal wise, hustle/press type, minor upgrade on Skipp?

Don't see him as cheap to buy, or cheap wages, think this is "yeah, we could be interested but only if everything aligned", i.e. Chelsea needed to sell, he wanted to leave, price was right

I agree, i have never been impressed by him to be honest and i doubt he would be sold cheap.
