I've no idea if there is more to it than that. I just can't understand how it is that we seem to be the only club struggling with this. Ffp and all it involves just goes completely over my head to be honest. I don't get how Chelsea can be took over and the owner just chuck all the money around as he is, without breaching Ffp, but like I say it all goes completely over my head. Ffp is a complete and utter joke!.. it's corrupt to the core! 1

Not even sure if either would want to come to us. Also, Chelsea would probably value that at paying us a gross of around £150m. But I like your positive thinking. Edited 17 August 2022 by Nalis

Won the Prem here and left because he wanted to be a first team regular somewhere? Thats more then fair enough. Agree with the other two though, donuts booing Kante the first season he returned was completely unnacceptable. Without him there would of been no Premier league title Edited 17 August 2022 by South Shire Fox 1

I said he was applauded. When timewasting against us. After scoring about 8 goals in about 125 appearances. Yet morons boo two of the greatest players the clubs ever had...

Doubt he cares to be honest, he was a lot more overt with his desire to leave St Etienne so doubt he'll be affected by a bit of booing from our fans. Edited 17 August 2022 by Tommy Fresh

I've been saying for weeks that I suspect the financial situation is worse than the club are letting on. I'm surprised at how tough they've been on prices for unwanted players - I suspect they might have knew a bid like this was coming and needed to be seen to be in a strong position. A firesale wouldn't help that position.

MadsEmil Posted 17 August 2022 Posted 17 August 2022 3 hours ago, peach0000 said: Need to go full southampton on this and release a statement on social media accusing Chelsea of tapping up and report them to the authorities. As what happened with Van Dijk. Tell the clubs this is our price pay it or go away. It would send out a strong message that we can’t be bullied by the bigger clubs Problem is that these tapping up rules can easily be circumvented to have plausible deniability. Liverpool messed up because they had Klopp literally meet Van Dijk in person and tell him how great it would be for him over there. Clubs have learnt from that, so they now hire intermediaries, who then contact a players agent to discuss a hypothetical transfer of a 21 yr old French defender over speaker phone while said French defender just happens to be in the same room

Bablemikey Posted 17 August 2022 Posted 17 August 2022 Chelsea need to buy him for £70m & loan him straight back to us for rest of the season covering half his wage. Everyone’s happy, simples. 😃 1

Not sure how possible it'd be with Brighton sticking their noses in 🥴😅
