We have imbeciles running our club.

 

Yep. This is true.  I think recent signings Neto and Felix are both decent players. But should we perhaps have sold some players first? Maybe we could have bought them before the season started even? We could have planned a pre-season with them involved and we could have sold and moved on the players that they would be replacing. We - or rather 'them' - didn't do any of that because they are fcckuking ass clowns.

But here we are.

I don't think he is, he certainly doesn't score or create more. He looks nice on the ball, but rarely actually produces anything.

They are different players as Jangz said - apples and oranges.

Felix does score more, in fact Pedro doesn't score many goals at all.

Well I didn’t expect this but someone in our hierarchy thinks he’s the bees knees, so I guess we’ll have to see. Huge gamble. I just hope this means we’re getting Osimhen as we desperately need a striker. If it’s Felix and Osimhen coming together, it doesn’t look so bad as Felix playing with Jackson upfront. 

Neto and Felix in ... 

Surely two wingers are out the door now ?

Raheem definitely one of them ... probably Noni the other one ? 

Loans with options to buy galore. 

Circus of a club

Imagine Clearlake and the DoFs will now give Felix the #7 shirt ...  🙂

It's OK, tiktok and twatter bellends will love all his useless spins and drag backs that lead to absolutely nothing of substance.

We are signing @just ?

...Oh hang on... I saw the 'nothing of substance' bit and jumped to conclusions. His spinning and days of drag are long gone...

i just watched the sending off on his debut footage.  And well look at THAT Chelsea team compared to the one we have now.  So many different players.

 

 

If that stupid statement on Sunday didn’t then this signing certainly does spell the end of the Sterling Saga.

Probably also turns a profit on Madueke and trigger a loan for Mudryk?

Apparently Maresca has already dropped Felix for Wolves away for "Technical reasons" 🙂 

Felix's camp typing up a statement as we speak!

So we went from wanting to play Palmer in the 8/10, to Nkunku impressing there in pre-season, to buying Dewsberry-Hall, to playing Enzo there to now buy Felix. Only one can play in that role, while neither Nkunku, Palmer or Felix will do the wide winger role Maresca wants. There is no chance for Maresca to make it here in these circumstances, and it will not be his fault when he’s sacked within 9 months. 
 

Poor Chuckie.  Really liked him but he’s probably better off leaving now anyway.  Bet he out scores Felix this year if he gets a decent move.

I think one of you or maybe Sconnie opined that the saving of wages on Lukaku and Sterling or Chilwell would soften the blow of breaching the invisible salary cap that apparently isn't there for Osimhen. I think that this could be a very salient point tbh.

They will need to pay off Sterling first. I feel that situation will get very messy.

The irony being that Maresca kind of wants an 8 that can transform into a 10 but also to have the wherewithal to be an 8 that can support the 6. none of the players we are buying tick all of these boxes. 

I genuinely think that Carney, if truly injury free, will be that player. In the right environment I believe he has the ability to be a Bellingham level player. Sadly this place is not the right environment.

I really like Carney as a player. He was to be the next RLC imho. I honestly think he was better than Gallagher. I think in a way he was too similar in style to Palmer, maybe? Anyways, that said, the club signed KDH and there is no way KDH is better than Chukwuemeka.  I don't see a place for him currently.  I hope we loan him, rather than sell him.

This is totally correct imho.  And so we really did replace Carney with KDH right?  Not Felix.

Big if. 

And id think the management believed in that as an interesting factor if they hadn't just signed neto 

we have too many wingers, I've honestly lost the plot on our transfer policy this summer. 

So we have just bought ourselves Joao Felix. I thought we already tried him...

Even if Sterling was willing to give up 100k per week who is going to pay him over 200k per week? Unless he is given away to somebody who would take a chance at full wages he might do a Bogarde.

Transfer to get the profit on Conor in the books ! They’re probably just hoping that JF has a flukey good season and that he is worth 5m more in a year or two.

Move to Saudi or stay here and not play.

Why do many people quote Saudi, did they offer him big money in the past or something? I know they cleared us out of players during the dressing room blitz but they took all the Muslim players, Sterling isn't Muslim!

He would do well at Villa or someone, not sure why it has to be Saudi or Chelsea!
