Might be up for it vs his former club, but otherwise I agree

He's just reiterating what the first tweet in this topic said.

Inflation must be going absolutely mad, every time I check the thread he's gone up 2m

He'll never come here, don't get your hopes up.

He was good in the Olympics

i've always loved Mourinho

Nothing to read into that, we're well below the league average in terms of being ruthless with sacking managers. It's just people thinking we're shite and liable to go down and assuming we'll pull the trigger in a panic.

Doesn't matter if you spend on shite if you're not particularly concerned with winning anything.

Just seen this on Reddit, extract from the Chelsea press release on Conor Gallagher leaving: « *Last term, the 24-year-old played 50 games in the Blues’ midfield and, in the absence of our captain Reece James and **vice-captain**, regularly wore the armband* » They don’t even mention Chilwell’s name

I don't think you can loan two players from the same club

The crazy thing is, as far as I can tell this is so that Atletico Madrid has the money to sign Gallagher; which because he's homegrown makes this deal worthwhile for them balancing their books. Disgusting club, I really wish nothing but the worst for them.

I do agree, but also I think size and physicality can compensate for quality to an extent when you're not talking about a Man City level squad

Or somebody who is willing to understudy one of the best strikers of their generation for a year before taking over completely

Didn't they just sign him this summer - thought he'd get a bit of a look-in. Or was he purely signed as a makeweight on the Douglas Luiz deal?

Yeah, I think I would have taken him over Skipp, but now there's no reason to go after him.

I wanted him as the KDH replacement - but seeing what United are expecting for him (30m+) - he's not worth that.

Watched him live twice, he's really got something about him. Hertha fans love him, he's seen as the next big thing from the club for sure.

like that in theory, like it less in practice when it's Jordan Ayew +1

I think Cooper will get a tune out of him. Has something about him, and looks like a player who leaves it all on the pitch

Looked great. I still think we need another first team quality attacking midfielder in, but if Buonanotte can put in a shift like that for us semi-regularly this season, that puts a lot less pressure on us.

That's a shot, I'm counting it

Missed that, but doesn't really undermine my main point which is: we have somehow ended up back up with almost the exact same backline we got relegated with.

Cannot believe we spent 15m on Okoli only to end up playing Faes and Vestergaard again. What a nightmare

On the bench tonight, so nothing particularly close

Solanke starting for them
