Used to go to London for business once a year. Absolutely hated it. Can’t go outside for a smoke without someone bumming you for a cigarette.

He is not going to Chelsea. He will be a united player. no doubt.
Oh yeah I forgot about that!
Funny how much things change but don’t at the same time. We’ve got ourselves a manager who is signing players he has close ties to just like moyes. Yet we all believe this time around it’s much more positive.
You love itawful. Just awful. Boooooooo
We went from winning the league to Baines & Fellaini.
We just finished 7th - it's different.
Suggests we're going to pay his back pay, source doesn't seem to particularly reliable though:

Ahh diddums what’s wrong? Is it the thread title?
I don’t understand the lure of London. It’s a fecking shithole.
At least they're nice enough to ask
I enjoy it, lot of moaning about it, though. The usual nonbelievers, mostly
We're absolutely desperate for ball-playing midfielders in the pivot and we would have spent all summer chasing just one individual, at the behest of our new manager who supposedly has a good rapport with the player, only for him to reject us and join a rival who was until that point having an legendarily disjointed summer with all manner of players wanting out and priority targets joining other clubs. It would really weaken ETH's authority in the market going forward.I mean, it wouldn't be that bad.
It would be one thing for him to stay, as the player felt he was owed money and refused to leave, but another for him to leave and then join Chelsea. It would be farcical. Chelsea would have kept their powder dry and then done a Malacia to us.
Bored of this pleb now. Season starts in 5 days and we've messed yet another window up. If we do end up paying him what Barca owe him then we are mugs and they have had our pants down.
Exactly, there are private conversations about what you really want and there are public conversations which are about saying whatever you need/your agent tells you to say, to get the best deal. ETH knows him well and is having the private conversations whereas we are all fed a mixture of the public conversation and whatever shite the JohnnyJerkoff Journalists can think of to get more clicks.......
Agree with all that but not as bad as 5-0 v Liverpool.
London might seem like a shithole to the average Joe but if you’re a famous, multimillionaire footballer with a wife it’s probably a glamorous paradise. The best of everything at your fingertips.
Yeh I agree. That was a sign of what was to come.
feck sake, months of chasing someone who doesn't fancy it here?
Another year of McFred it is.

I wouldn't lose sleep if we were to end this saga today.
Can we go and chase other players now please?!
Can we go and chase other players now please?!
based on what? One reporters opinion piece? Really?
Maybe we will have a bit of FrIqbal by October!
Until January when it all starts again.
Dawn of the Dead wasn't too bad
Indeed. It's a billionaire's playground. Manchester is not. Literally the only reasons FdJ would go to us over Chelsea is the ETH connection and we might pay more. Everything else is in their favour. It certainly won't be helping that CR7 is kicking off in public again and might be staying. I wouldn't want to join a dressing room with him in it.
Anyways, if Frenkie really chooses London over our project and ETH, then we don't want him.
Is this supposed to be a challenge or something? our ancestors drank piss all the time. Homo sapiens only started drinking from water fountains when they couldn't pee, was thirsty and thought that drinking piss was unsustainable.
If we don't sign FDJ, this one has to be on ETH...he'll have known more about the stuggles, and still didn't look towards another midfielder.
There will be players in League 1 who would do a better job than McT

He can only choose London if Chelsea were actually in for him. He can't just rock up to Chelsea with his suitcases and proclaim that he's chosen them can he??
Who was the plank who did exactly that on deadline day once?
I actually have a different take on that. I actually think when you’re that rich, you have everything at your fingertips regardless of where you live. I just think the perception is that London is just nicer to live in and a more “it” city which is why these guys prefer it. But in terms of spending their money, they can do that literally anywhere.
i like the fake one better
Pretty sure it was Peter Odemwingie trying to get a QPR move
It'll take more than that to get him going now after what he's seen the past 24 hrs.
God I hope the lads prove wankers like this wrong.
What a boring transfer saga this has been. Literally the same thing over and over for a month or so.
Nah the restaurants are better. The hookers are better. The theatres are better. The shops are better. The parties are better. The stadiums are better. The airports are better. You can walk around and nobody bothers you. All the stuff footballers like.
Oh no... Simon Jordan has spoken. EtH better run away from this deal, he's embarrasing the club. Says the guy who chairmaned Palace into administration
How about he stays? This transfer isn’t happening.
At the moment, Chelsea are going to have to match our offer (or at least present Barca with an offer considered equally attractive) if they even want to negotiate with De Jong. Logic would dictate that they aren't willing to do that.
