I was wondering why no one seemed interested in taking Ben Chilwell from Chelsea's bomb squad because he's a solid top flight wing back when he's fit (granted that's been a bit hit and miss of late), but then I learned that he's on 200K a week. Madness.

Neil Maupay absolutely doesn't bother me at all. I don't get it. What is it that threatens you about someone better than you, funnier than you, and less willing to bend over and silently take it like a bitch than you?
Too much hate in the world...can't you let they young man have a bit of a chirp and a laugh without letting it worry you? I can sort of understand the frothing at the mouth non-scoring striker haters, who understand nothing but numbers...but then Danny Wellbeck, Emile Heskey, and countless others make it pretty obvious they are worth taking the piss out of. A shame the entertaining Maupay public service has moved from our league.
It's a bad number....but it would be better if you got circa 40 fit weeks out of him, than one. He could be on a quarter of that and I wouldn't touch him with a barge pole.

I don't mind his social media antics anything like as much as I object to him being a dirty cunt of a player.

That thing no longer exists, sadly.

Obviously Chelsea would have to pay a share of that but this: www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ben-chilwell/verletzungen/spieler/316125 looks like someone who's had repeated issues since he did his ACL, so you are going to be paying a fair chunk of those wages for someone who's not going to available much.

So Lyon paid £30m to us for him staggered over two windows and now they've loaned him to Everton.
And their owner is Textor, who is also trying to buy Everton? This is dodgier than one of our Olympiacos loans.

Modern. football. is. bent.

It seems Vlachidimos and Pliers are getting loaned out by Newcastle.
Move on, nothing to see here.

Isn't it with an obligation to buy ? I heard €40m

Chelsea got 30M for Lukaku, which is both an excellent return given his performance for them and a shocking loss given they paid over three times as much.

T'athletic is reporting Toney off to Saudi.

I do think our Wissa bid is us trying to be clever. I suspect we know Brentford are going to have PSR issues without a sale, and they're struggling to shift Toney, so we've offered to 'help out' by taking Wissa. Like they did with Johnson. Cheeky sods.

Looks like being a transfer window that broadly supports the 'team unbuilding' theory.

Jason Sancho to Chelsea. Was getting worried they might be short of players.

Give them a break, they've got a big game against Shamrock Rovers looming.
