I know it would be nice to keep them all as employees but if they literally have no work to then I’m not sure it can be fully expected for the employer just to keep paying them for another year.
Ya I am seeing plenty of journos criticize arsenal for the willian thing

They are completely seperate like you say

It's going to be matchday staff, these companies arent charities, it's sad but they dont just throw money away, on purpose

You still have to run the business as you would

Someone will surely sign Watkins soon

Athletic had an article last month that his buyout is 18m

That's a steal, hed be a perfect plan B/cover for Spurs, Arsenal, or United

they sign everything but CBs it seems. Fine by me ... as long as Rüdiger and friends are there, it doesn't really matter.

Prolly need a new thread soon

Season is only 3 weeks away

But surely the signing of the window so far has to be the one where a team signed a multi time league winner on a free who has been posting solo workout videos....

I was thinking Paddy Evra although it was a PL team inquiring about him.

Chelsea is signing everyone. Havertz, Thiago, Ziyech, Chilwell and I think that there was someone else? Pretty insane.

Timo Werner.

yeah, they are going ballistic. I guess that happens when you have to make up for last year's transfer ban ... oh, and the FFP shackles for oil and sugardaddy clubs are off as well, of course.

I don't know how I forgot Werner. But yeah, who cares about FFP these days (apparently we do ) when there's no penalty.

There's still like six weeks left in the transfer window, Roman probably has another couple hundred million ready to go.

still, they need a new goalkeeper and another CB. Silva turns 36 next month, he's the shortest short-gap you can possibly imagine and he's not going to fix the defense by himself. They conceded 54 goals, for crying out loud ... that has to be some kind of record for a team finishing in the top 4.

It's Roman, he'll probably find the Oblak release money in the sofa of one of his yachts, and then get Koulibaly for good measure. Man is just playing FIFA at this point.

What a day (and summer) to be a Chelsea supporter.

Today really emphasizes how important getting Champions League football was. Didn't care about FA Cup at all as long as we got top 4. Would have been nice to win but...

Truth is, it's all about money and CL has almost nothing to do with it. Spurs had CL football for a number of years in a row, made the finals and we didn't have players clamouring to play for us. It's cash, plain and simple.

In other news (that I'm surprised isn't in this thread), Harry MacGuire had a little altercation on vacation in Greece. It's hard to know what happened there, but apparently some kind of fight with a police officer. There were conflicting reports that he and his friends tried to bribe the officer (while they say they were asking about what the fine was) and things got out of hand somehow. Now Sky Sports is tweeting that he was found guilty:

Surely if Eric Dier got a suspension for running into the stands, a fight with a police officer is going to mean some lengthy time off for him?

Odds are if Maguire attempted to actually tackle/assault someone he probably missed....

Is this a serious question?
