Lots of them are crap gamblers, though... That's the silver lining for the rest of us: watch those with more ambition than intelligence/ability crash and burn in a fire of their own hubris.

Chelsea is where players careers go to die, but theres always a fresh lot of fools that believe they are so unbelievably good they will be one of the few to survive it. A rational person would look at what theyve done to players and steer...

I think you are about right there.... Have there just been less available the last couple of years or is it all in our minds? Cant remember anyone outside of Minteh really being linked with us

Well someone is clearly making recruitment decisions if we’ve been speaking to Delap and are about to announce Alcaraz.

lol about the response I expected. You say a guy got 7 assists and suddenly: "stat nerd"

So all the handwringing here about him not being permanent yet... Probably was just because it doesnt kick in until 05/31. Contracts are more complicate than just "team pays player". You have to figure out release clauses, bonuses, and a...

If Moyes can get a tune out of DCL, imagine what he could play with a better striker? Thats what Moyes has to be thinking.

….its already been announced we’re in discussions to sign him, we’re not pursuing any of the other loanees and have thanked them for their contributions.

No PL team wanted Ndiaye at 24. No PL team wanted Alcaraz at 22. Thats YOUR argument that if they were good other teams would have wanted them. Hamer was in the PL at 25 and played well. You criticize him for joining a team that got promoted...

So.......you dont judge his play. You havent seen him play. You have no reason to believe he isnt good at those. I and everyone in the world knows stats dont tell the whole story about a player, but if you are going to come in and say a guy...

So then how do you judge his general play? In your watching of him what does he do well and what does he not do well? And often times stats are the outworking of the nuances. It is evidence of results. Not proof, but hard evidence.

For the cost of 10-15m, and a normal salary? Where pray tell are allllll these amazing players available for a team that needs to bring in half a squad in a window? He joined a PL team at 25 and played well, 4 goals and 7 assists. Who is...

We’ve had our best spell in years with McNeil out. Mc Neill should be the backup, and get someone better in.

Well, last year in the premier league he had 4 goals and 7 assists. Better than any of our CMs have been. He may not be amazing, but he may be a capable PL player.
