Not enough players got injured during the WC.

But rumours are that the Saudi club where Ronaldo went to has now too many foreign players so they are going to send a guy to Besiktas Istanbul while Besiktas is in talkings with ManU over Wout Weghourst who is with Besiktas atm on loan from Burnley.

Imagine you have one of the best players in the world in your squad, it doesn't work out, he shits on your club in a public interview, you nulify his contract, let him go to a Saudi club for free and don't get 1 zillion oil money for the transfer and end up with 30 old guy from Netherland who got the boot from Wolfsburg and ended up in Burnley where he got loaned after 1 season.

Well here is a fun fact.

Ronaldo is available as a free agent in the FIFA 23 career mode currently and will sign with any club of choosing.
 
What a crazy game. United played well and deserved at least a point but wow City blew it. Not sure how Rashford wasn't interfering with play from an offside position on the equalizer but it doesn't matter. City didn't deserve to win that game, lots of meaningless possession and Haaland pretty much invisible. It looks like we might have a proper title race.
 
Now that the dust has settled, did Tite ever reply to Neto's legendary rant?

Nope. And why should he? He'd have to answer to every single person, professional or otherwise, who questioned him. And we have them by the literal millions down here.

Besides, everyone knows Neto is a legit retard. An amusing one, but still a retard. Why waste your breath on a guy prone to outbursts live on TV, and who literally needs tons of medicinal marijuana to control himself?

City don't have the killer instinct, Arsenal are gonna arsenal, Newcastle don't have anyone alive to remember the last time they won a title, Tottenham are falling off a cliff, Chelsea are nonexistant, Liverpool are trying to rebuild and inconsistent as fuck, United are playing on something that would insult a shoe string budget, and then you have fulham, brighton, and brentford just chilling in the top half of the table.

Going to be a fun end of the season
 
Seems Spurs are after David Raya from Brentford. Lad has been stalling contract negations. Meanwhile the tradition of signing someone who had an "okay" world cup continues, as Haji Wright has managed to gain interest from Crystal Palace.
Maybe they think his goal against the Netherlands was intentional lol. I can't see him scoring a whole lot in the Premier League, but hopefully I'm wrong.

Relegation battle will be just as fun, currently just 2 points between Southampton in 20th and Leeds in 14th. it seems like this is morphing into a decent season.
 
Chelsea has paid 100M for Mudryk :story:

12 professional goals for club, 9 for Ukraine youth teams. How on earth is this lad worth 100mil Shaktar have scammed Chelsea there.
Arsenal were close to getting his value down to a british worth (they have an inflated price tag for players because of the money they have) but Chelsea are just desperate for any player that can make them (potentially) better

Chelsea have such a bloated squad, particularly in attackers, theyre also full of fraudulent players like Loftud-Cheek and Pulisic.

They are basically going to have all of them go away on a free transfer because nobody is going to spend money on them. Who would honestly spend money on Ziyech, Aubameyang, Pulisic, Loftus-Cheek, Azpilicueta, Cucurella, Kante (who is basically out of contract now), Silva, and Jorginho. Plus Felix leaves in the summer so that's another one who is in the squad who they paid for and will get no return.
Basically, Chelsea need to buy the right players now and let go of deadwood so that they can potentially rebound in a few years. But considering who they are buying, it doesn't look like they are going in the right direction. Plus Financial Fair Play is going to come raining down hard on them (or it won't have any merit and other clubs will go just as crazy)
 
Is a player I've forgotten about. What happened to him?
He has been injured on and off again for a while now. He played twice this season, with the last game happening in August. He had surgery on his hamstring in October and is expected back at the end of Feb or early March. Normally, I wouldn't think that Kante of all players would be deadwood but he is 31 years old and turning 32 end of March, out of contract at the end of the year, and has missed 47 games and 284 days from different injuries since the start of the 2021 season. So you have a tough decision on what to do with a player who is largely responsible for Leicester and Chelsea winning the premier league and the latter winning the Champions League

Hes been bouncing from injury to injury. Had knee issues start last season and has been out since summer with a hamstring injury. Rumour is he is off to the Saudi League to play with Ronaldo or Barcelona.

Silva, Jorginho, Kante, Betinelli, Zakaria and Felix all leave in the sunmer. The problem for Chelsea is theyre stuck with shitters like Ziyech, Mendy and Kepa until 2025. Kovacic is down to a year left in the summer and will definitely attract interest. Pulisic, Loftus-Cheek and Auba are all there until 2024. Its seriously grim reading for any rent boy.
