    Maybe not the popular thing to say on this forum but for the right price I'd take a chance on him. Not my first choice but he's a decent choice.

    Chelsea are a shit club with racist fans and no history

    Morgan Rodger’s saying they are the biggest club in London is clown shit

    Pay the elevated price for Yan and be done with it at this point. We obviously need a left winger of high quality who can stretch the defense even make them double team.

    maybe we should sell gabi for 100 mill to PSG and buy Barcola for 200.

    Those guys and tech bros have inflicted societal damage on a scale us attorneys (unless you work at 1First Street, NE) can only dream of.
    :p

    Should I assume that 1 First Street, NE is the DC address of the DOJ, because Blanche and Bondi have done a pretty good job of inflicting societal damage.

    No, it's the address of their enablers.

    We should counteract the imperial supreme court by moving it to Omaha, Nebraska. Absolutely no reason for them to be in DC.

    Join in the financial crimes. Pay £90m for Bruno. Sell them Nwaneri for £60m with a £70m buyback clause.

    Berta, you're welcome, please send me my 5% agent's commission fee.

    Not directed at you, but man that Prem proven hype is such a fraudulent thing. It makes my head spin. The laziness of EPL teams recruiting, its insane.

    There is nothing Rogers is better at than Barcola and the way France setup and England setup are also things to keep in mind, and then think about how we setup. Barcola would play like Martinelli btw

    This is why you gotta think about the game in terms of "usage rate". There's only one ball, people say stuff like this like everyone jsut goes on the pitch with their own ball doing whatever they want. Make it make sense.

    People think about the EPL in a way that is not reality. The EPL is a league built around player movement with some televised events in between. Once you think about it that way, everything makes sense.

    I cannot believe that we all just watched the world cup and there are adults with high cognitive function who really believe that there is no alternative to Rogers, in all of the world of football. It boggles my mind, and I aint that smart.

    However, if you are an EPL club, sure you gotta do the homegrown shenanigans, etc. but the reality is you are appealing to the fans. Clubs are running their "business" on fan engagement, and internet clicks. Execs are running their "book" on "CYA". Due to the tribal nature of EPL, which is also why we all love it. Rival fans are at each other's neck on line, providing max engagement while celebrating/bemoaning the fact their club lost/signed Rogers. Click farms are doing stupid numbers right now. Agents won, the club won, the player won, the EPL won, Sponsors won. Football as a game? who knows if it won. Doesn't matter, we're all here tuning in, innit?

    If you sign a "prem proven" product you have checked off the first actionable item on your "CYA" list. You get fired for signing some unknown motha********a, but you can plead your case and stave off execution by the Chairman by pointing out that the player you signed for too much money was "prem proven" and "everyone wanted him".

    It's a merry go round of entertainment man, we, the fans are the only ones interested in trophies. LOL

    Arteta wanted Rogers over Barcola and Martinelli is for sale, I don't think he wants to play the same way.

    I agree it's nonsense. Eze was PL-proven, Zubimendi had only played at Sociedad and the club bought Norgaard as a PL-proven security blanket. Eze was poor for the first 4-5 months and Zubimendi adapted instantly.

    The fact that Title Winner Mik is too lazy to look elsewhere is alarming. Again, Footballers are like women, to think that there are no other beauties out there when you got damn near unlimited funds compared to the rest of the football world is fahkin lazy and it disgusts me but what do EYE know.
