Is today not the end of the week?

And ultimately flaccid

Depends if we each have to do our national service as part of Chelsea's squad that weekend.

I think Wharton was pretty nailed on to join us this summer before Slot was sacked. But it's interesting that, given he didn't go to the world cup, there's been nothing else about him for any other club since then. I do wonder if that means we've told him to sit tight and once we get a gap in the squad (like Jones) we'll be back for him.

We're stuck in negotiations with JD Sports and they're not budging...

Obviously for many reasons he's sort of been out in the cold when it comes to working directly with the club but I wonder if this is the start of a thaw in that situation. It's not for me to say whether or not the Hillsborough families can or should forgive him for that interview, but he's always seemed absolutely stricken with remorse about it afterwards. So I don't hate the idea of him being brought back into the fold again finally.

Saw a suggestion online that Real wanted Zubimendi now from Arsenal.

I do wonder if there's a sort of delayed World Cup effect going on.

Modern football is great isn’t it?

That actually made my skin crawl.

Be interesting to map that onto a bunch of other geopoltical issues and see where it lines up.

At the moment it feels like the only acceptable outcome for us/society is that moments after signing the deal Bezos is attacked and eaten by a bear. And I'm willing to negotiate on that happening before the deal is signed.

Can never tell which ones are going to land though. Who knew this was a trigger for me?

We f***ing do not. Liking NFL? I’ve never been so insulted.

It'll be interesting to see what team we put out to start with against Como next weekend as you'd think that'll be relatively close to the starting team against Newcastle.

Is it the age thing where he can't be registered for us until he's X years old?

Also that Araujo's agent was more interested in getting the deal done than fluffing Romano throughout the process.

I don’t hate that

That's potentially true for most of the human population.

Also seems like the sort of player we'd then try (and fail) to buy from Palace in a year or two. If he's available cheap go and get him now.

Because of course they do.
