Is Chiesa on a bonus as well?
Should’ve negotiated that all clauses (especially the ones after 10 and 60 games played in all competitions) are void if Nunez gets to 70 offsides.

About 3 games?

Suspect it’s more to do with Slot not seeing a future for him here than anything else.
Could well be a deal being lined up with Al-Hilal to happen before the club world cup so we’re keeping him off the pitch to avoid risk of injury. Would tie in with those “not feeling himself” comments from Slot a couple weeks back.

No, they are ment to be moist.
That’s my suspicion too. If Nunez is going to Al Hilal there’s a few more bob if he’s available for the club World Cup. He will be fresh and raring to go.
Just guesswork but it looks plausible to me, since we are winning the league anyway.
Tsimikas seeing some action is a shop window exercise I think. There will be a few clubs interested, and he is showing a decent level so we will get some decent dough for him. I expect Robbo to see out his contract as a back up for Kerkez, before going to Celtic.

Ben Mee is an asshole!

Tsimikas is seeing action because he’s the better option at the moment.

And sometimes I just wonder if people are reading far too much into things.

Only “sometimes”?

I don’t know if this is what you mean, but I think Kostas got the nod against Leicester because Slot thought we might need his delivery (which is much better than Robbo’s)
Andy is still the better player, and he is certainly better in transition than Kostas - he is quicker, more alert, and he has a better football brain than Tsimikas.
I would be very surprised if Robbo doesn’t start against Spurs.

I think Kostas will start. They’ve got Kulusevski operating on that side and Kostas is quicker than the current Robbo.
He really isn’t.

Robbo runs out of steam pretty quickly. The drop off is markable.
Tsimikas can maintain his speed pretty well.
It’s a current difference in form, though not so much to reward Tsimi, but it’s understandable if Robbo has been droppped for the last few games. Don’t think it’s putting Tsimi in the shop window nor that it means Robbo is leaving. We’ll see. Each has it’s own strengths and weaknesses. What Tsimi has over Robbo is a bit better ball manipulation. But some are trying to read too much into certain moves lately. We’re trying to win the league.

Lately? It’s always been the case. People just speculate and frequently interpret things just to fit their own preconceived narratives.
Not just on this forum, I hasten to add, but throughout the media.

Even read somewhere that we put Kelleher in the shop window when he recently played those extra 2(?) games because of Ali’s head injury.

How else are we supposed to sell him??? It’s not as though he has an established body of work as a starting goalkeeper in the top flight???
Satire, in case anyone needed to be told.
According to Miguel Delaney - Chelsea have “stolen a march” on this lad.
Liverpool are plotting a £95million double-swoop on Bournemouth this summer as the Reds anticipate a busy transfer market with the aim of strengthening their squad.
Left back Milos Kerkez is a top target and central defender Dean Huijsen, 20, is also a player of high interest despite fierce competition from Chelsea and others.
The Premier League champions-elect held an important recruitment meeting last week and discussed their main ambitions for the summer window.
Confidential has reported previously that a big summer awaits and it would be no surprise if as many as four or five new signings arrive.
Huijsen is definitely on the list to improve the centre-half department - but Liverpool are not alone in their pursuit as Chelsea, Arsenal and Newcastle have all been credited with an interest in the Spain international.
Sources have told Confidential that Chelsea are the front-runners to sign him but Liverpool are still in the picture.
