By the time I was awake, he'd removed it but not before others had picked up on it. The thread has since been removed. Now everyone is speculating as to what the nature of the news is, and whether or not Geoff was serious or joshing. Gobsmacked ? Ok, I’m going to put it out there given the news coming out of Barcelona....Geoff, it’s not an audacious bid for Luis Suarez ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant that because they were forced to play the youngsters, they were a bit more likeable. I knew it wouldn’t last. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems as though Havertz and Thiago Silva are about to sign. Can't wait until they sack Lampard so I can go back to hating them again. oh, don't let Lampard get in the way of that!

The People's Hero Posted 24 August 2020 Share Posted 24 August 2020 Havertz is a cracking signing. The fee is high but its almost irrelevant in these non FFP times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanSP Posted 24 August 2020 Share Posted 24 August 2020 Chelsea fans have no right to ever complain about other clubs spending more and winning stuff in the process, whether or not they win trophies in the next few seasons. Their spending has been ridiculous and yes I know they had a transfer ban (yet still got Pulisic ) I've got a Chelsea-supporting mate and he's lapping it up right now.

Stadt Posted 24 August 2020 Share Posted 24 August 2020 Lampard can’t coach a defensively solid side and they still have toss defenders. Even if they sign Thiago Silva and Chilwell they’re going to be porous. Says a lot about the quality of the league that they will comfortably finish third or above though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambert09 Posted 24 August 2020 Share Posted 24 August 2020 If only one of the 3 big signings is a success they are going to be a real force next season.

The gap in points between Man City and Liverpool and the rest will be big again. But go for it if you think it, I'm sure they'll be decent odds.

I do get the joke but wasn't the whole thing that an offer of *over* £40 million meant Suarez was free to talk to clubs if he wished? It wasn't a release clause, Arsenal did the logical thing in that circumstance - the only off bit was that Suarez was never gonna entertain a chat with them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a rumour about a potential return to Ajax but I doubt they'd meet the wages he's on at Barca. I am surprised he's free, I know he's 33 but his record is still unbelievable. Will be a great signing for a European side (unless he goes back to South America as a fair few South Americans do go back). The one player I'm disappointed with not being able to see live was Suarez (think he left Liverpool the year before we went up?). One of the best of this era for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's on 15m Euros a year at Barcelona (roughly £310k a week). He most certainly will take a payout as nobody will pay him that. Still a good player but he is a fat, slow, 33 year old who's lost his explosive pace. He could probably still kill it in the Dutch league tbf.

peach0000 Posted 24 August 2020 Share Posted 24 August 2020 To be fair without a transfer fee you may well find a club willing to pay him that he is still quality. Wouldn't be surprised to see him in the MLS though. Inter Miami would be my guess based on absolutely nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
