Forest replaces Palace in the Europa League, Palace deserves better honestly. Why was it Girona and Citeh able to compete in the same comp, like either you allow for all or don't.

This is so fucked up. I feel really bad for Palace and their supporters. Pure bullshit.

Salzburg and Leipzig have been doing the same for ages btw. It's on paper because of like a blind trust or something, but in practice is just because they're cheats

Hmm, Norgaard and his wife just had a kid. I wonder if that's why it took a little longer than expected for him to have his medical.

That's gotta be it. Every other signing this window got announced in a row so fast

Still giddy about the Olivia Smith news

If the club have that kind of money to splash on Chelsea rejects I can't see why they couldn't afford Sesko.

Been thinking about this a bit and I wonder if it was just a case that the club thought they had better bargaining power with a Gyökeres deal since the player is also pushing through the move.

Whereas Sesko may end up demanding a much higher fee, meaning less funds to contribute to other transfers.

I obviously have no idea, but it's what made sense to me. Also considering the fact that the stumbling block for the Gyökores deal seems to be over an extra 4m up front, at least according to reports.

Yeah that's what's bothering me about the whole thing. £50m for a Chelsea reject is too much eventhough it isn't my money. There's only so much trusting the process I can take. It's time and time again Chelsea.
