When was the last window we went into not looking for a Midfielder?
The Boys
GenV
Invincible
Loki
Us superhero fans are eating good atm
1 year left on his contract, currently earning a supposed €280k per year, we really should be all over Youssouf Fofana, even if just as a backup, the Douglas Luiz train has left and it’d be way foolish to go back and spend 60-70mil for him.
We were Hazard’s favourite destination but Chelsea paid his agent £7m in secret so he vetoed the move to us. I am sorry Arsene for ever doubting you.
Another reminder that Chelsea were the original scumbag cheating club and they don’t deserve any trophies they won during Abramovich ownership.
we should pay the 7m for them to take him back
Wasn’t it known at the time that chelsea paid more anyway?
Yea hazard was definitely desperate to join the club on a 7 year trophyless streak over the same club who’d won both the CL and FA cup that season
Damn this sub is delusional 🤣
Would be quite funny if Everton got a 12 point deduction as they’d be above the relegation spots within about three games anyway
I’ll never forget Di Maria’s legendary quote about Spurs
What do you guys think of the idea that Martinelli’s long term future is as a CF
Bruno G’ forearm to the back of the head going unpunished to mask the incompetence of the VAR signals a negative precedence for the rest of the season. Either players start acting violently since it seems that it goes unpunished, or VAR starts giving reds, making the Newcastle game even more suspicious.
International snooze window. Least good games came out recently
Is Q Timber good enough for PL? I mean we do need someone in the middle and having twin brothers in the same team could be interesting.
It would be stupid of us to loan kiwior out ,we don’t have any other decent centre back other than him
Martinelli is in starting 11 for Brazil. As per fotmob, he will be playing as CF.
Romero just made a yellow card worthy tackle and the ref just let play go on the CONMEBOL refs are special
The only ones who come out looking bad from the Arteta fine is the PGMOL.
They have no external controls or input.
They police themselves.
You get fined if you criticise him.What is actually a fair penalty if clubs are found breaking rules? Reading about the Chelsea thing and Man City charges. I can’t help but feel unless the penalty is absolutely huge it’s worth breaking the rules. Let’s say we did some underhanded shit to sign Declan Rice, then we go on to win CL/PL in the next 5 years, then in 6 years times we get a 10 point penalty. You’d take it.
If there was a real penalty like, you get demoted down a tier and audits are done more regularly. You’re probably not going to risk doing something underhanded to sign someone if in 2 years you could be dropped down a division. Obviously it depends on the scale of the rule breaking too, Chelsea and City are absolutely systematic financial doping. If you’re on the extreme end of the scale (115 for City for example). We should be talking about expulsion from the football league and stripping of trophies and titles.
I just don’t see the penalties ever being too harsh though. It’s basically in the interests of the PL that these clubs overspend and bring in the best players and managers to the league. If Newcastle signed Mbappe by making up deals and sponsorships etc, the PL would probably act in 10 years time because they want him in the league and more people watching.
