Xabi has also changed his set piece coach, hes not been idle.

Rodgers Deal....i think this shows Eghbali talking owner to owner and then passing a little credit to the underlings, standard procedure for top brass. One thing is for sure there is clearly a point where juniors like Stewart & Winstanley have to pass things on to higher powers. I mean Villa's top man would have been insulted if Chelsea had sent one or both of those clowns to meet him. Also If Eghbali has had some success here, he may well like to involve himself on other big deals. A player Agent and indeed owner of a selling club will likely appreciate dealing with the organ grinder even if it is just a quick lunch and handshake. We cant be sending these two (Stewart & Winstanley) unshaven greasy urchins if we want to be taken seriously. if this deal falls through Eghbali's relationship with Villas man will be pushed to and maybe beyond the limit. Its no place for juniors.

As another poster has mentioned if Eghbali has to deal with the big money transfers what do Stewart and Winstanley actually do ? If we need the Top man and the manager to sway a player or push a deal over the line are these two clowns (Stewart & Winstanley) redundant? Just imagine Stewart & Winstanley together with Rosenior trying to convince a top player to join us. Laugh i nearly bought a drink.

If that is the case we had better move quickly if we haven't got him by Christmas Arsenal will be in. 😂

RIP Kevin Keegan

Sir Alf said the Argentinians were animals in 1966. Nothing has changed. All so predictable, they cannot control themselves. They failed to win the World Cup & The Falklands is still ours. No shocks or surprises here.

Anyone, as I said most top clubs can wipe their arse on 50 mill it's no big deal. If not move on to our next dud.

Don't exaggerate Penders is only 6'6"

i think we will get 50 mill for Gusto, most top clubs can wipe their arse on 50 mill these days, it matters not. Hes not up to it and can be replaced, hey ho.

People saying we have overpaid for Rodgers 117mill whereas Arsenal are getting Guimares on the cheap 60mill and Spurs had a very good balance sheet last year its all insane financial waffle. People think they are very savvy discussing value for money transfers like its their money. I hope we continue to spend huge sums id like to see Blue Co. up to their neck in it, fully locked in where success on the pitch is the only way forward. With the recycling of the duds and there are many i think they will eventually buy themselves out of trouble.

was he under consideration for a loan move to Crawley?

i think this might be true...even the BBC are listing it & other fans are crying their eyes out. Well i never. Actually can i upgrade my "well i never" to "F*ck my boots" The bloke on the BBC has just said "Chelsea bound Morgan Rodgers" very matter of fact.

I think having an anti Tuchel fetish coupled with the fact Trump is also critising our tactics isn't a great place to be.

I think Tuchel wanted them to defend not to surrender. It was like an " open house". All welcome in our penalty area.
