Cant score against us if we sign him

This would be the dream

I was more annoyed by the formatting than the source

There's a couple of players in that 5 I wouldn't have guessed. 1 - Van de Ven - Obviously 2 - Khusanov - Looks useless, not seemed fast 3 - Agbadou - Who? 4 - Brainthwaite - Thought he was just a big lump 5 - Lacroix

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2026/07/23/chelsea-favourites-to-sign-bosnia-star-kerim-alajbegovic/ Telegraph saying were favourites for this young lad from Leverkusen. Fee suggest he'd be in and around the 1st team

They did. We pay it in one go, but spread the cost over the length of the contract for accounting purposes. That's now been capped at five years due to us taking the piss with it early doors and spreading the cost over the 7/8 year contracts. Someone who works in finance will have to step in to explain why its allowed

Financial rules basically. Transfers out you can smash on your figures as a lump sum. So villa can put 117mil on their "money in" sheet. Rather than 20 as in your example. For us, you spread the fee over 5 years. So our outlay is 23ish on the next five years accounts. Sell garnacho for 40 mil for example and we're actually up 17 for this year on that deal. A swap makes both sides books look worse Its ridiculous that they need to jump through all these hoops, bit here we are

I dont think anyone has argued England deserved to win, they didn't. Argentina behaved like animals and the ref (as usual) allowed them to. Two things can be true at once. And "that's just the way they are" doesn't absolve them of the behaviour

Sky and BBC reporting were in for him. Gone to favourites with a few bookies as well

Nice to see the players interacting with the fans. Unlucky in the final Enzo, can't say I feel bad for you though

Struggling to think of anyone that was this disliked while still playing for us

Rogers and Palmer as the two 10s it is then. Hopefully Enzo is f**king off now as well

He was a world beater at wing back or full back. I dont fancy him in centre midfield at all. Maybe a right sided centre back under Alonso?

Awful player and worse person. Not in the Diego Costa or Cucurella "love him if he's one of yours" mold. Just a vile human, full stop
