I hope Rants keeps up the pettiness :pachaha:

Did you listen to him and Hajj’s show when Martial went to Sevilla, shyt felt like a funeral. :mjlol:
Nah. Was they uspet or something? Breh will be back in a few months, depends on who we get as manager though since Cavani is leaving.

Statman Bains looks relieved because he was sick of Martial FC. :russ:

They were in a deep depression talking about how Tony may enjoy his time in Spain and push for a permanent transfer. They made alot of valid points though, Martial does offer things that Rashy and Mason can’t.

I can’t stand that annoying Statman kid. His shameless CR7 stanning is pathetic. :hhh:

@Kunty McPhuck Southampton have figured it out. :wow:

Shopping at Cobham gives you better better value for money than anything else. Livramento on a permanent deal last summer. Simeu as a free agent and Broja on loan which they want to make that permanent. And now the latest:



From Musiala to Lamptey, the club is losing super prospects whilst carrying some ageing or just plain terrible senior players.

Obviously you can't keep them all but Azpi is on his last legs and is leaving in the summer so it would have been great to have Lamptey or Livramento ready to step in. Musiala looking like a future world beater but Chelsea stuck with deadwood like Werner and Pulisic. Dreadful squad building and planning as usual.

Problem is Chelsea have too much talent and not enough space or time to use them all. And the academy is probably seen more as an revenue stream than anything else (like Real use theirs) and that isn't going to change with Marina in-charge of the day to day. Will be interesting to see what happens with clubs only being able to loan out 6 players.

The new loan rules only allow 6 players above the age of 21 so it shouldn't affect the academy prospects too much. Ideally you want them coming back around 21-22 anyway and to be ready to complete for a spot (like Mount, Tammy etc).

Hopefully the new rules stop the bullshyt loans of players like Drinkwater and Bakayoko etc being around for 5 years lol.

It's still a revenue stream. Which has probably paid back most of their transfer fees and wages long term instead of taking a loss on just selling them within a 12-18 months.

Saudi and Iran both through to the World Cup. Both cruised in qualifying with near perfect records. Renard managing Saudi - results dont lie with that guy, he gets results wherever he goes in the international game.
