Good for her.

Looks like Sheffield United are going for successive relegation, Ben Davies is on a hiding to nothing going there!

[Crazy Dave]

In a show of true professional pride, Michy Batshuayi, 27, who signed for Chelsea in 2016, who hasn't had a sniff of their first team (and never will), and has already been out on loan four times has.....extended his contract with them. Just prior to being sent out again on a season long loan. 

 

What a pro.

They've got a whole bunch of players they've spent a lot of money on, who always end up on loan somewhere. Those players nearly always sign a new contract with Chelsea before doing so. Batshuayi, Drinkwater, Barkley, Zappacosta, I think Baba Rahman is still there, possibly Victor Moses and Loic Remy also...

Winston Bogarde is nearly 51 and he’s still training with the kids.

Like I said in the 'Definitely True...' thread, his Chelsea contract didn't have an expiry date so they're still paying him.

Moses has just signed for Spartak Moscow permanently, but only just!

Yes, very sad. To be honest, I like Law. He was a great player even though he played for both manc club although mainly united. Scored some cracking goals and even liked to smoke a fag or two (that's a ciggie for the uninitiated). The cunt!

 

Hopefully this terrible illness doesnt rob him of all his memories.

Shanks was his manager at Huddersfield for a few years up to time he came here.

I will forever love his backheel goal that sent the Mancs and their feral followers down to the 2nd division.

We were at West 'Am that day.As we didn't have t'interweb and mobile thingies some people had trannies and word soon got round. We lost 2-0 (eyes were on the Cup Final the following week) but we came out the ground bouncing and singing 'bye bye Man Utd bye bye' to the amazement of all the 'ammers skins spoiling for the usual scrap. One girl ran from our lot and hugged one of them. They were totally fucking bewildered by it all. The usual skirmishes ensued but maybe not as bad as usual.

Helps with FFP as the length of their contract amortisation means his value is at its highest the longer the contract.

 

Lets face it, he’s being paid more there than he’ll get elsewhere, plus a nice signing on/loyalty fee, and Chelsea probably get a fee for the loans and something towards the wages which make it viable.

 

Just a guess, but makes sense.

[Strontium]

If a rich owner wanted to use loans to get around FFP, they could secretly supply money to the loaning club which would then come back to your club as the loan fee, thus enabling said rich owner to illicitly inject more money into the club than they would be permitted under the rules.

 

Not that I'm suggesting this is what is happening, of course...
