The new Petar Borota? 
Everyone signing and collecting good money. Personal ego’s may even promote their thinking, and that they will become a regular starter under Pochettino… Until they don’t…!!
Hard to keep a small crew happy that play regular games… Almost impossible, to retain harmony at the club once realisation sets in, that most have little, or no use to the playing side of things… Disruption, rebellion and after hours party mode will become rife at the club me thinks… Sooner rather than later would be my wish :0)

Did Pep manage to keep a straight face, when he said this?

Let’s hijack this… just to piss Boehly off and to raise the price to 50m.

Actually, that’s not what I read into Guardiola’s comments. The article begins by saying that Guardiola was at pains to say that he was not criticizing Chelsea. To me, he actually sounded envious of Chelsea’s apparent freedom to spend so much so quickly. To my mind, he was giving a nod and a wink to Chelsea that he would be happy to be in Pottechino’s position. Maybe he’s thinking what others on here have said, that if Chelsea don’t finish in the top four then Potch would be out and maybe he would like to be in and reap the benefits of Chelsea’s spending.

Probably helps justify City’s spending and allows Pep to point at others.

The Chelsea situation is just a little weird because of how much they were able to spend under Abramovich before FFP, carrying a huge stock of players(value) but also a massive debt. With that debt being wiped out at the point of the forced sale and not payable to anyone, the disappearance of the debt is akin to a massive one-time profit. Not surprisingly, no one ever considered that kind of scenario when writing FFP regulations.

Let’s be clear, City’s issues are due to shady sponsorship income.
They really are being cheap on goalies.
Sources out the Turkish club say they’ve got him on a free transfer.

They’ve spent 2 windows trying to get rid with 2 separate deals falling through. I don’t get their approach but this seems what they want

So their £90m man misses a penalty, while their £115m man gives away a penalty.
Shame.
This Chelsea side could do so much better if their owner invested in them.

Don’t worry they will buy a few more in the week ahead.

Chelsea fan on TalkShite saying they need to buy a striker. When asked by Pardew who they want he said Che Adams
