alistair I don’t think anyone wanted him to go, but no blaming him for joining a team like city where you’re going to get silverware Vs our (clusterfuck) transitional phase
hugopal I think Todd is trying to make squads the same size as the nfl
They need to reduce their huge amortisation bill to meet PSR and have put their highest paid players up for sale. It’s clear most of the football decisions are being taken by Boehly. Total clown show.
Could it happen to a funnier team? Just wish it was happening whilst Jose was there.
Where is Sterling off to then? How much is he worth these days?
Surely Ali Al Kebab will be moving in for him?
As a purely football decision, there is no way Sterling doesn’t make that bench. He has three years left on his £325k a week contract, one he signed under Boehly. He could stink the place out if he wanted to.
alistair He could stink the place out if he wanted to.
Not sure he’ll want to spend 3 years training with the U-21s.
Smallman1 Bogarde did
Did wonders for his career!
Sterling has a far bigger public profile and more influence in the dressing room. Whatever Bogarde was being paid, it was a fraction of that. There’s always Piers Morgan!
alistair Bogarde was apparently paid 15 million for not playing for 3 years, no small sum at the time.
They had signed a Dutch international from Barcelona.
Gallagher’s move confirmed. Must be relieved.
alistair plus Chelsea buy another player as part of the deal!! Got to keep that squad numbers up
Vardy’s had his half time Red Bull. Life in the old dog still
RichM it’s absolutely ridiculous, funny to watch though
It stinks of Boehly acting like Aegon Targeryen, wild decisions left right and centre with no thought given to the overall strategy
RichM why you’d go to Chelsea right now if you have other options is beyond me and that’s discounting the “fans” penchant for turning against their own like no other.
Getting João Felix should be good. Shame we couldn’t buy him before, but the manager didn’t want him.
BlainSA hopefully Jackson retains his place upfront. He is so shit he would fit in well at Utd
BlainSA Shame we couldn’t buy him before, but the manager didn’t want him.
That won’t be a problem again with Todders at the wheel

One in the eye for the ‘ internet justice’ mob.
