That Billion+ pound club

[Daddyorc]

I'm loving that the Broja transfer collapsed (although I feel for him). Also that they're likely stuck with Sterling and Chilwell as they gave them stupid contracts and can't unload them. I just hope that the Saudis don't bail them out.

Clearlake Capital and Todd Bohey are a joke.

p.s. as I write this they're 1 up in the 85th minute of the Europa Conference League against that powerhouse Servette. Crossing fingers that they get knocked out of that one too.

I've never really understood how a player can fail a medical at one club & be fit to pass at another -
I suppose it comes down to each clubs individual attitude to what they / their insurers consider acceptable risk -

Madness.
Never heard of some of them. Mike Penders? I thought they'd signed one of the Moody Blues. Not impossible with their signing policy.

🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

I recall from numerous card, board and even video games growing up, typically little add-on Xmas presents, where you'd get a football game with made up players on it. That's what a reading of Chelsea's squad reminds me of.

A quick look on wiki, he is a 19yo Belgian 'keeper one the 9(nine) that Chelsea currently have. One for the future? 😉

And he's about 9 feet tall. If he's still growing he'll be like a telegraph pole when (if) he gets in the first team.

Give Ipswich their first home win.

At the end of the game acting all petulant.

Down to 4th and looking over the shoulder at Newcastle, Man City and others.

Money doesn't automatically buy wins.

At least they have Mudryk under contract until 2031!

To be fair that was one of the two calamitous VAR decisions yesterday.

Oh no! Fallen out the top 4 despite all that money spent!

Clearlake Partners and Todd Boehly must be so upset 🙁

Wait, Todd has the solution... recall Chalobah!

I logged onto this thread 'That Billion Pound Club' thinking it was about Man City....oh well, I'll log off then...!
