    Romeo Lavia has apparently chosen to join Chelsea over Liverpool now as well…
    I've read that the Lavia deal (50m) will take their spending to over 900m in 3 windows since Boehly took over. 

    Chelsea the club with a 40k capacity.
    Can anyone explain how one club can spend 900 million in 3 windows and this is ok with Fair play ?
    How much have they received for players going out ?
    Good to see yet another player who wants to play in the Champions League, NOT.
    Amortisation. Most of their players are on 6/7/8 year contracts so the cost is spread. If you buy a 100m player on an 8 year contract it costs you 12.5m a year. They sold over 250m of players this summer, so for now they're ok. 

    Also all of their signings are fairly young with an eye on the future so they won't continue to spend like this. 

    They'll be fucked though if a few of the players don't perform because they won't be able to sell players when they're on long expensive contracts, and also if they don't get back into the Champions league.

    MNF is absolute class. The new technology and Carney adding her opinion, fascinating stuff. That piece about Salah and what he sees was awesome.
    Best football programme on the TV by far

    she does speak a lot of sense, but Christ her voice is annoying - mind you no more so than Carragher

    Man U a bit sleepy so far. Wolves have had the best opportunities.

    Wolves the much better team so far (that's cursed it)

    Thought Wolves would really struggle this season but no way will they go down if they carry on playing like this.

    Granted Man Utd have not been very good but Wolves are not letting them play.

    Wolves don’t look the total train wreck that most “experts” were predicting they would be.

    Guilty!

    Not that I'd consider myself an expert!

    Their overall squad is still miles ahead of Luton's and Sheffield United's. 

    Just a case of will they be better than one of the likes of Fulham, Bournemouth, Burnley, Palace, Forest, Everton and Brentford.

    Anthony and Wan Bissaka both in 30 seconds get away with what would be guaranteed bookings at lower levels. So inconsistent

    Antony is so overrated it's unbelievable. Like watching a shit blond Nani

    Game changed when they took Garnacho and Mount off and put Sancho and Eriksen on.

    Tells you a lot that ManUre find the urge to bring on McTominay for Rashford to hold a 1-0 win

    Why on earth do United not play Sancho on the right - that’s where he played when he got a boat load of goals and assists for Dortmund. Antony is shit as well.

    Anyone else worried they’re gonna go the whole season saying ‘what’s my name’ whenever the commentator says Onana

    Keepers get too much protection if they don't give that as a pen

    Should be a pen but as it's united it won't be given.

    Wow, he's absolutely cleaned his clock there, may as well let players just absolutely rugby tackle eachother when the balls in the air
