I see that City have agreed to sell Kolarov to Roma… so their interest in Bertrand is likely to remain also.

Cheer up gang! Things could be worse!

Just found this EXCLUSIVE snap of one of our most famous signings making his debut in Pre-Season at SMS!

Koeman is making his mark - loses star striker and star midfielder, brings in Cuco Martina and spends £100m on no one in particular.

This chap has signed a 4 year contract extension with Chelsea. He joined them in 2010 and has made 4 appearances. He’s 24. Hes been sent straight out on loan to Fulham. Why? From Chelsea and his point of view…why?

I see Chelsea basically as landlords.

They buy up all these young players, then loan them out often charging a loan fee and getting the players wages paid.

If the player develops enough to go into the first team, great. If not, they can either sell them on, often at a decent price (de Bruyne, Lukaku etc) or loan them out and carry on having their wages paid/recouping loan fees.

It’s a pretty smart business model, and fair play they’ve found a way to game the system without breaking any rules.

Whether it’s health for the game or not is a different question. I’d personally like to see things done to address it, but I don’t really blame them for doing it.

Saw this comment which made me laugh

“Man City have spent £175m on their defence?! That’s more than some countries do!”

Spurs and the pressAND Liverpool supporters :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

trying very hard to off load Spurs reserve centre back, Wimmer to the mighty Saints. :astonished:

Bearing in mind how much Spurs Chairperson…Levy? hates spending and screwing as much as possible out of other teams…especially Saints :slight_frown:

20 million for Wimmer…potential or not…you are having a larrrf Spurs :cool:

In Uncle Les…I always trust…so no messin Sir Les…only IF he is not a crock and we are not lined up for sum Dutch lad called Virgil :laughing:…we do have some very good youngsters in Klarer Cook Jones Wood and O’Driscoll coming through…forgotten the name of a scholar who also looks a star in the making…

But for now Stephens Maya and hopefully VVD. :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Perhaps they could chip in for Trident?

Now this is truly random but might explain why he wasn’t in the squad last night.
