Don't think Inter's gonna keep Lukaku. He's barely played for them this year and now he's calling Barella a sob on the pitch.

I am still amazed by how many languages Lukaku can speak fluently.

Well, sure, if he goes back to Barcelona, it might mark the end of my favourite day of the week: Thursdalona

Well considering we're far more attractive to watch than you lot I wouldn't be surprised.

Glad to see that you guys have reached the acceptance phase

We have two sets of posters who think Messi did it alone and what ever this is.

Not that we need to rehash this argument because of today's silly post, but just to be clear I didn't say Messi did it alone. I said that it was ridiculous to think Romero is a great CB because Messi couldn't win a WC until him and Emi came around.

Messi - goat
Emi Martinez - average with great WC performance
Romero - average

I've always accepted that we play better football.

There's no need for an acceptance phase bruv; the mighty Arsenal, the legendary United, the kings of development Ajax, the underdog champs Union Berlin, the beautiful Lake Como FC valentines day cheaters Juventus, the wealthiest nation in the world AS Monaco, UEFAolna, and some other Spanish clubs are all in the competition. This competition is so good that Roma lost the group lead to Real Betis, Union Saint-Something got a bye week, United finished second to Sociedad, Freiburg is on the cusp of glory, and we have a Hungarian team in the competition.

Have fun with Disney clubs like Spurs, Chelsea, Frankfurt, Milan, Brugge, and midtable Liverpool. This doesn't even include Irrelevent FC aka Dortmund. Case closed.

This year Messi has 10g 10a in 18 league games. 4g 4a in 5 CL games. had 7g 3a in 7 world cup games.

He may not be as good as he was 5 years ago, but he's still pretty darn good.

Him and Ronaldo are not remotely comparable at this point.

There's a reason Mbappe called it a farmers league.

Well I can be miserable and argue pointlessly or I can joke about it and be miserable? I’d rather the latter plus my dear friend, I’ve completed football recently. These small potatoes don’t interest me the way they used to.

Not spending anywhere near what it would take for Bellingham. Pretty stacked in midfield too.

 

[Chimaera]

They could still use him, but I think it’s too expensive when much of their young talent are in midfield.

I don’t think Liverpool get it done, but I am prepared to be sad.

They could but Frenkie would need to leave. And he would need to play DM soo it’s dumb.

Either they get Frenkie full time as DM or find a younger cheaper option. Zubi etc

I think if Liverpool can show to Jude that they are going to make the necessary investments to refresh the squad, it’s basically a guarantee.

Chelsea’s argument is far better now considering we are a CF, a pure 6, and another 8 away from being a legitimate team. There seems to be some sort of vision and an ownership group that genuinely cares. And London.

But City & Madrid do far better in those arguments. Squads are better and both have longevity. AND, that’s without acknowledging our current lack of champions league football next year.

Seems clear that we are a very distant fourth here unless we turn things around and make a CL push, and it comes out that Jude likes the idea of being in London.

Chelsea should sell Havertz for anything just to get his wages off the books and rid ourselves of this bum. Hopefully some German club takes him.

Would be hilarious:

PSG president Nasser al Khelaifi and Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly met in Paris to discuss a potential transfer of Neymar, sources told ESPN.

15 days after it was reported that Chelsea would never 'darken PSG's doorstep again'.

Apparently Yassine Bono should end up in the Premier League next year, with Tottenham being the favorites to sign him and replace Lloris.
