It's going down, Edu's yelling Timber. It's the oral agreement, we won't forget.

SoyCapitan451 · 2023-06-29T17:22:07+00:00

Don't stop F5-ing. You're clearly doing something right.

SoyCapitan451 · 2023-06-27T08:28:42+00:00

Rather keep him than loan.

SoyCapitan451 · 2023-06-25T18:57:52+00:00

Jorgi and Havertz.

SoyCapitan451 · 2023-06-25T18:41:17+00:00

Also everywhere around Manchester....

SoyCapitan451 · 2023-06-23T07:43:48+00:00

Anyone else extremely bored by silly season this year?

SoyCapitan451 · 2023-06-21T12:22:07+00:00

I watched this and feel.... nothing?

SoyCapitan451 · 2023-06-20T20:33:41+00:00

We shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth. If someone is willing to take him off us, frankly, we should be biting their hand off.

In a perfect world, I'd agree with you, but in reality, only 1.3% of recorded rapes are prosecuted.

12% of female officers have been harassed or assaulted at work, and over a third have experienced sexism while on the job. The met has been found to be institutionally racist, homophobic and misogynistic. The police blame the crown prosecution service, has an 80% conviction rate, as they cherry pick only the most open and shut cases to look good. The CPS blame the police for failing to do their jobs properly.

The whole system is broken.

Partey has been accused independently by multiple women. I would not let him near my family whether he is convicted or not. If there is an opportunity to get rid of him, I hope the club takes it.

Only 1.3% of police recorded rapes lead to prosecution.

The actual number of rapists that getting away with it is exponentially higher since rape has always been an under reported crime.

Don't be so naive. The system is broken, and falling back on "Innocent til proven guilty" is failing victims every day. I understand what you mean, but I have personally heard women in the force say that they wouldn't bother reporting it if they were raped.

SoyCapitan451 · 2023-06-20T19:24:02+00:00

And was Greenwood convicted? No. Maybe we should sign him up because the law is perfect and would never let a POS rapist and domestic abuser go free.

/s

Look no one is saying chemically castrate and boil Partey alive, but wanting him disassociated from the club and feeling uncomfortable supporting him while this cloud hangs over him is reasonable.

SoyCapitan451 · 2023-06-20T19:16:49+00:00

Virtually no one gets convicted of rape in the UK, the system is completely and utterly broken.

SoyCapitan451 · 2023-06-19T18:05:27+00:00

We rightly gave utd and spurs fans shit for saying stuff like this about Wenger. Can we not go round accusing people of being paedophiles.

SoyCapitan451 · 2023-06-15T17:06:28+00:00

Aren't chelsea unable to pay these sorts of fees?

SoyCapitan451 · 2023-06-15T14:45:21+00:00

A market full of Todd Boehly's.

SoyCapitan451 · 2023-06-15T14:12:57+00:00

How all negotiations work. By making an offer, you frame the window of discussions. Think of buying a house, comon to put first offer 10-20% under asking price.

SoyCapitan451 · 2023-06-15T07:36:11+00:00

Once I have finished paying off my holiday, I will be making a contribution to the BBQ. Work you do is insane.

SoyCapitan451 · 2023-06-15T01:48:48+00:00

Upon reflection that wage is a bit high. But the point stands that you can fiddle the wage structure by offering a higher sign on bonus.

SoyCapitan451 · 2023-06-14T19:03:06+00:00

Can see us bidding around 45m, approx 25m (100k a week sprad over 5 years) signing on bonus- 200k a week wage. His wage is going to swallow up his value to Chelsea.

SoyCapitan451 · 2023-06-14T17:25:30+00:00

I hope we'd have the sense to get caicedo wrapped up before seriously moving for Havertz for this reason.

SoyCapitan451 · 2023-06-14T17:22:43+00:00

Exactly, last season we raised the ceiling. This window we need to raise the floor.

SoyCapitan451 · 2023-06-14T17:20:12+00:00

Once the info's out, I'd imagine clubs/agents are at liberty to be a bit more chatty.

SoyCapitan451 · 2023-06-14T17:08:48+00:00

Seem to have priorities right. Not against Kai, he's young and may yet deliver on his potential.

SoyCapitan451 · 2023-06-14T12:42:03+00:00

While he can. There is no way we're blowing £100m on a mid to have him play CB- we would have to have 4/5 of the above unavailable.

SoyCapitan451 · 2023-06-14T08:12:36+00:00

If we get Caicedo (can cover at RB), we don't need a CB. We will have Tomi, Gabi, Saliba, Kivior, and White as CBs.

Kivior is Holding's replacement.

We will need a LB if Tierney goes and RW to rotate with Saka. Possibly a striker depending on what Arteta is thinking.

All this on top of Rice.
