Chelsea seems to be in serious serious financial trouble lol. The funniest part is they probably can't even sell a lot of their players to get out of it cuz the problem is with amortisation and with how high the transfer fees are it would need to be quite high to get it done XD

And somehow the press will insist that they're going to sign Osimhen right up until the transfer deadline.
Back to back Cunty Cups?
??????
Continental League Cup
Jesus that's a horrible nickname lmao
It's absolutely horrible, also horrible the fact that no one official realizes how not far off Cunty Cup it is when they decided to promote it as Conti Cup.
Nah it's good it's cuz they all but officially call it the Conti Cup and it's really not far off XD
@OlPatchy2Eyes @Wengerite nobody (unless they're a bell end) calls it that for obvious reasons.
It's funny
Are there any "sweetheart" players in the squad who you want gone in the summer?
For me it's Jesus.
ESR and Rammers, I think for me. Unless I misunderstood the question, lol
Didn't ask about transfers you expect to happen :/
I mean players who have a generally favourable position in the eyes of fans and whose exits would cause some controversy. But you want them out anyway.
I kinda read it similarly to your explanation.
My interpretation was players we were sweet on that we wanted to stay, but will probably be sold.
Players I want to leave that people like is difficult... I like Zinny and Jesus, but their availability is flying a crimson flag.
Maybe Nelson or Nketiah to a lesser extent? But, we've got to be mindful of home-grown players.
Honestly think rn Nelson is more important than Nketiah, Nelson backing up Saka is a role I doubt many players would be willing to take while still having quality, whereas Nketiah while a very useful option is also in a position where we have many options and no clear first choice, and so a loss wouldn't be as bad.
That's a fair point. I suppose if we could find a winger similarly to Trossard (in that they are good bargains and can slot into the role) would be good.
Nketiah has stepped up for us on occasion and offers something different in attack, but we don't seem to be too reliant on that since Arteta prefers players who help in the build up phase.
It's a tough call, but I guess that's what big clubs do to improve.
My argument for Nelson is the same that it has always been, honestly: find me someone who'd be willing to take his spot that's better than him. Is he the best? No, I think most people can name better wingers. But he's PL level, and willing to take his chances despite having literally the best winger in the world ahead of him. How many are gonna do that? Also I love the lad so I'm biased cuz of Bournemouth lol
Ohh man, that was beautiful... I just watched a highlight of it again. It was like a pressure valve was let off, lol
Could you explain the concept of a sweetheart player?
Cedric is not cus everyone wants him out.
Reiss maybe considered one because a, academy product and b, former starboy candidate and exciting youth talent.
Odegaard is definitely one because club captain plus always reliable.
Bottom line is, if their exit would cause significant outcry amongst fans then they are.
That pitch for the Gold Cup semis is awful, an actual water slide. Lacasse and Fox better be safe.
