They are genuinely me on FM.

1. Sign a bunch of 16/17/18 year old wonderkids
2. Loan them all out to clubs I like or ones that will offer wage cover
3. Remember them all at the end of the season when I have 50 children turn up at the gate suddenly
4. Sell the ones that aren't turning out quite as hoped

And then repeat until I have an army of young players

 

What is he gonna do to ensure his team doesn't drop points when in the lead position?

 

so many keepers

a bit surprised no one has made a move for Kelleher but also pleased because I like Kelleher quite a bit

 

Far too good to stay a number 2, surely?

 

personally I think he’s really great, excellent with his feet and good shot stopper. perfect deputy for Alisson and would be a worthy starter if, for whatever reason, Alisson wanted a move to Saudi or elsewhere for big money

not sure why nothing has materialized for Kelleher, doesn’t seem like the club would stand in his way of making a move to start elsewhere. and if Chelsea can splash 20m on goalkeepers with no pedigree, surely 30ish for a keeper with multiple trophies to his name who is ready to be a #1 starter is fair

 

Just purchased my Blackburn away kit from the team store. Very excited. How long do you think standard international shipping takes? I’m not sure if I’ve ever bought anything from the UK before.

 

This depends on the distribution company, surely?

 

Yeah, it didn’t say who was delivering. I’m going to assume two weeks.

 

Frightening signing by Spurs, this. If they produce the same amount of chances as they did for Richarlison last season...

 

This will be fun to follow

 

Solanke signing scares me. I hope it works out, but it feels like such a massive risk. Hope he proves me wrong because I do like him.

this makes me feel a little better about it though I guess?

 

Best kit in the league

 

Solanke is a good signing for Spurs. Not a world class striker, but a big step up from what they had and lets them play Son in his best position.

Think it’s a bit of an overpay though.

 

yeah, having a striker that’ll actually be available to play unlike Richarlison will be helpful, and one that has pace and seems to fit our system better will be nice. Do agree the money seems insane but English tax also hits as always.

 

30m obligation for Nketiah is good business.

 

After not playing anywhere last year, de Gea seems to be signing with Fiorentina. Good to see him back in the game and think Italy will suit him well.

 

This is exactly what I wanted to hear.

 

And he’s a better option than Toney, who it seems is now going to stay at Brentford for another year after Arsenal, Chelsea, and Spurs have all rejected him. Must suck lol.

 

lol of course they are

 

TBF he'll probably be reveling in the fact that he'll be able to pick his new club in the summer with his (likely) last major contract.

 

How do Chelsea still have money to spend lmao
