Their transfer business recently has been absolutely bizarre (I know Caceido does fill a position they're missing but still) They had to start Chukwumeka and Gallagher yesterday in midfield and they've got Brighton's sub keeper from last season in goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 What’s happening at Chelsea is really bizarre. As Stevo says, they have spent MEGA money and the squad is still patchwork, and it’s patchwork without much world class talent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO they still don't have a proper goal scoring number 9 if they push lukaku out of the door, got plenty of wide men who will get say 1 in 4 but no actual striker their best CB is 39 years old 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 14, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 14, 2023 They've paid about a quarter of a billion to Brighton alone. In the last 12 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 It’s why teams like City will keep pulling away. They have the financial backing AND clever people behind the scenes who know how to get the deals done on good players (within or outside of the rules is up for debate).

Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Mancini going to Saudi Arabia for 40 million a year over 3 years, of course he has no problem with blood money as seen from his Man City days but another sad day for football to see Italian football set aside for them.

The_Steve Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Across six live matches broadcast on TV over the season’s opening weekend, the 11 to 14 August, viewers were shown 6,966 gambling messages, including logos on shirts, pitchside hoardings and commercial breaks. Of those, only a fifth were accompanied by a message supporting safer gambling, according to the study. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/sep/19/football-fans-gambling-messages-premier-league-opening-weekend The article also brings up real concerns about how gambling companies don't disclose advertising in their content online. There's an overwhelming amount of gambling adverts on SSN and TalkSport has at least one gambling advert on *every* ad break. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 said in the match thread at the time watching the Burnley vs man city game, Burnley had 2 different gambling sponsors on their shirt and training kit (which I'm sure someone said was actually the same company) and then at least 2 more showing on the advertising boards and then sky did their win % calc thing whoever sponsors that shite now and then whatever they show at half time it was definitely noticeable to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
