106,000 likes for summarising story that had already been published isn’t bad going.

Maybe if I invent a silly catchphrase I will get 106,000 likes on my EWB posts.

I hear if you get 106,000 likes NBT will get your post tattooed on Lineker.

That's really expensive for Felix on a loan, especially when you factor in his new Atletico contract making the chances of it becoming permanent almost non existent.

Chelsea are deep in the "uhhh fuck just uhhh try anything" mode.

I fully believe that Todd Boehly just wakes up each morning, scans a few twitter rumour feeds and picks a guy.

It's the pilot for sequel series Ted Lasso: Soccer Chairman.

I can picture the scene...

"Into the dying minutes here, here's Garnacho, whips it to the back post...WEGHORST! Derby day delight for the debutant!

He makes it Manchester United 1, Manchester City 4!" 🙃

In reality he won't be registered in time now, but it would've been handy.

[Colly]

Also Garnacho would never be that direct. Maybe if he mishit it while doing a daft trick?

Chelsea now looking to hijack the Mudryk to Arsenal deal. This Boehly fella is nuts.

EDIT: They've now agreed a fee with Shakhtar so it's all down to the player who's been twerking to join Arsenal for about a year.

[Matt]

I don't know what's more confusing, that Chelsea think another winger-cum-10 is the answer or that some cunt I'd never heard of until last week is going for 100m

[gunnar hendershow]

Todd Boehly really does get all his ideas from scrolling Twitter.

[FestiveJack]

Arsenal have gotten the better deal here. Not shelling out 95 million euros on a player who just isn't better than Martinelli at all, and who also probably has a difficult attitude based on his actions since Arsenal became interested and who in all likelihood, eventually try to treat Arsenal the way he's treated Shakhtar.

[Colly]

Confirmed. I'm in the Matt boat of having no idea who he is.

I really hope we have other targets in mind - because we cannot make the same mistake as last season and not add at least one attacking player to the squad. We are far too light in that area of the pitch. 

Totally disappointed with this news to be honest. 

[FestiveJack]

Mykhailo Mudryk, 22, playing in the Ukrainian league (16th in UEFA rankings), 10 goals, 7 assists, 18 games, moves for 100 million euros.

Andreas Schjelderup, 18, playing in the Danish league (17th), 10 goals, 1 assist, 17 games (and 200 less minutes), moves for 14 million euros.

One of these players will be a success. It's not the Ukrainian. 

[stokeriño]

I'm so pissed off with the transfer 'strategy' of the Boehly administration and it just keeps fucking going full tilt.

[FLiam]

It is bizarre. Not sure even Potter knows exactly how to fit them all into a coherent team. Eerily very Nottingham Forest-y.
