Football - a matter of life and death? No, its more important than that!

He's a good manager, at the wrong club.

This could be a decent signing. 

 

 

The reaction to his leaving from both the Leeds fans in the comments and the players and staff in his last game should tell you what kind of a player he is.

Sigh chelsea signing felix is sad

Neither Arsenal nor United were going to pay that much for a 6-month loan. Especially when Arsenal already have Odegaard (with ESR as cover) and United has Bruno (with Eriksen who can play there too). Even with the reduced ask, it's still costing Chelsea €17m for 6 months (€11m loan fee + €6m in wages). Felix also operates best as a creative secondary striker rather than as a CF. He's more creator than goal scorer as his scoring record would attest, so I'm not sure how Potter will fit in another second striker who doesn't score much. Doesn't seem as though Felix is going to help solve Chelsea's scoring woes any more than Havertz does since they are fairly similar players.

ESR is just coming back and imo Felix would have been a good signing as he could have played a variety of those forward positions. Though the loan fee is a lot.

Seems we're closer on Mudryk though

I disagree. The fee was ridiculous. Far too much. 

I suppose this signing means they're no longer interested in Mudryk. Which is nice.

It's a genuinely bizarre signing for Chelsea. Fixes precisely none of their major problems.

I don't think we should sign Memphis coz there's waaaaaaay too much baggage if it does go wrong again, but I think he'd help our problems quite well. Don't know if he'd get on well with Simeone but what can you do.

Spending your days playing golf, before movinbg to the MLS - at least that's what some Welsh rando once told me.

Haller made a cameo appearence today for Dortmund. He came on as subbed for Moukoko in the 75th minute during their 5-1 friendly win over Düsseldorf. Talking about Moukoko apparently Newcastle have offered him a frankly obscene amount of money for his signature.

9m € p.a. guaranteed salary + 30m € signing fee.

Dortmund's rumored offer is really modest compared to that.

3m € p.a. salary + bonus payments + 10m € signing fee if he extends.

Kobbie Mainoo starting for us against Charlton. Interesting that he's apparently jumped Iqbal in the queue for minutes. Otherwise a line-up of first-teamers, albeit not first-choice first-teamers apart from Martinez playing his way back in, and Antony.

[polishgenius]

Can't even begin to tell you how angry this would make me.

[Daemon the Leaner]

well Rashford was shit when he came on, until he wasn't.

 

[polishgenius]

I hope we don't loan Pellistri again and give him a few minutes. Him and Garnacho on opposite wings is fun to watch.

First league Cup semi since 1976,  absurd stat really.

Can't really work out why you put "despite Maupay departing" in there. He never looked a goal scorer at Brighton, and even less so at our place.

Though it does seem like Potter's biggest weakness is getting his teams to score.

Just that they lost one of their key attacking players and their manager — who were both viewed as performing strongly — but despite all that disruption the new manager got them scoring a lot more.
