I think many are being a tad harsh on Nuno here.
He coached a team and brought them into the league and did some serious damage, lost key players and now its claimed he plays ‘snooze ball’ football. Tad harsh me thinks.
22 years oldHow old is hakimi ? I wonder if he sees James in the rcb role long term.
At the moment, no players have been offered, but Chelsea are thinking about adding a player or two in to make up for Inter's 80-million-Euro demand.I can't work out whether Emerson, and Christensen as part of 60mil offer, or on top of 60mil from Di Marzio tweet
Said it elsewhere but he'd be a solid Bruno backup if we can get him on the cheap. Even better if we can send VdB the other way as part of the deal.
22 ??? Damn I thought he was about 26. Feels like he's been around a while.22 years old
I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case. Azpilicueta's old, and there currently isn't anyone else who can play his role. James might be able to do it, but he'll take some time to settle into the role. I wonder if that will impact Livramento's first-team prospects in any way in the sense that he might starting taking Azpilicueta's spot in the squad.

Wasnt he leaving Wolves to go back to Portugal?
How about Sancho to United?
I have a vision of Kieran Trippier trying to talk you down off that ledge...

Missed a few out - it’s about 650m spent in 4 years. Finished 5th, 3rd, 4th and 4th. Spent another 30m on paying off managers too I’d imagine. Incredibly well run - totally punching above their weight. A model for all clubs on how to build sustainable success.
They also compete and beat us quite regularly if memory serves.It's not all of a sudden. People have been saying Wolves are boring for years. Our matches against them are one of the worst games to watch every season.

Just think people are being harsh, he’s done well at Wolves, anybody who thinks otherwise is just wrong tbh. This season they were without key players which made them a lot worse going forward.
By well run, do you mean financed by oil and able to things no other club (excluding PSG) could ever do? That's not well run, where's the PL's FFP?

eem, did you read all those articles yourself? Basically if Chelsea are willing to pay 150 mil pounds they will get Haaland. He has 66 mil pound clause in his contract for next summer. BVB said that if anybody comes with 150 mil pounds they will sell him. And that is what everybody was saying yesterday that Chelsea know how much he costs this summer and they will do everything to get their marquee signing after winning champions league.
This is what good teams/well run teams do, they go and get their man
And yet United have not signed anyone. fecking ridiculous shambles.Expect more Premier League news in the coming days, weeks, and months.
Palace fans probably were thankful to Hodgson but were kind of looking forward to a new manager with a more expansive and entertaining style. Oh well.
But it is a big day today, fingers crossed.And yet United have not signed anyone. fecking ridiculous shambles.
Let’s see who they get in first, there is a lot of managers who will do a worse job than Nuno and I bet most of their fans will be thinking the same.The Palace fans have dodged a bullet there.

Leeds can still appeal, but if the ruling goes through, then Leeds have to pay 21 million Euros to RB Leipzig for Jean-Kévin Augustin as part of a purchase obligation clause in Augustin's contract for his Leeds loan spell. For more info, check out this free Athletic article.

Allardyce will probably rock up there tomorrow.
Giving Jorge Mendes £50-75m in commission over the course of his contract.Interesting, wonder what the fresh set of demands were? With the amount of Palace players being released, the replacements had to all be Portuguese??
That's some world class reasoning. Except that these people don't need the media to communicate with each other. If Chelsea do indeed have a strong interest in Haaland, they will have contacted Raiola directly, who will have told them what the conditions for his client are.
Theres a discernable difference between Havertz from last season and Haaland....try £100m and the fact that one is the most desirable player on the planet and the other was a decent propect in the budesliga....
I'll leave you to work out who is who....
Except those times they end up with Morata after losing out on Lukaku. Or they blow £70m on Kepa. Every team makes transfer mistakes.

How long have you been watching football mate? People at the heads of their clubs don't go around and randomly telling other clubs what the release clause fees are. Those are probably the best kept secrets in the world. These things only get out to the public if someone has an agenda. I have just told you how that thing is you can believe that or believe your imaginary world where all the heads are sitting and dicussing how to weaken their teams.
And your point is?
You really have to pay attention.
Yeah, we bought Lukaku, we won the summer of 2017. But then we have the history to look at.
We bought Lukaku for 75 million pounds + 15 million in add-ons. That is 90 million pounds. And then we sold Lukaku for 68 million pounds out of which 50 million is still unpaid and we are haggling with Inter. So our net profit on that deal was cool -22 000 000 pounds.
Chelsea bought Alvaro Morata for 60 million pounds. Then they loaned and they sold him to Atletico for 58 million pounds. net profit - 2 million pounds.
You are totally correct. we totally won that deal.
But why are you looking at just 2 transfers?
Lets take a look at when Marina took over as chief of transfers in 2014. Edward had already been in office for 2 transfer windows. So...
Since 2014 -
Chelsea until last summer had spent -15 million pounds net. But we will add last summer to this also to make numbers look better for our club. So -219 million pounds spent over 7 seasons. And for that money they have won 2 premier leagues, 1 FA cup, 1 Champions League cup, 1 Europa cup and 1 league cup.
WE have spent - 646 million british pounds and for that money we have won 1 FA cup, 1 Europa cup and 1 League cup.
So if someone is arguing about Chelsea vs Man Utd. Just shut up and stay still in the corner. Don't interrupt. And that same argument goes for vs Liverpool, vs Man City.
We are badly run club and we will still be badly run after Glazers replace Edward Woodward with Richard Arnold
Re Lukaku, you've made the assumption that the add ons were actually paid out.
Release clauses aren't a secret and definitely not a well kept secret within football. You just have to the ask the agent or the intermediaries that agents use, also contracts have to be registered to football leagues with all clauses.
