I must admit, I have no trouble believing in a FIFA/UEFA conspiracy in general terms, I just don't see what anybody there has to gain by loving City over. It's not like they're the only club bankrolled by oil money, and they're not exactly running roughshod over the CL.

He’d leave Derby even if he goes up? Weak imo.

I know he’s got history at Chelsea, but you’ve gotta stay till you’re in a relegation scrap at least. Especially as Chelsea have a transfer ban.

Reckon the transfer ban makes them more attractive to him tbh. Gives him a year to get to know the scouting network, see what he's got at the club, and he'd have very little pressure due to the lack of new signings.

Plus he'd have the media fellating him constantly for being Frank Lampard, and for playing English kids (cause he'd have no choice).

Chelsea must be really hoping that they don't explode with Fat Frank and no transfer window for a season.

I think it's actually a quietly sensible move assuming their ban holds up. It gives him a year to get to build a relationship with Marina Granwhatsit and the rest of the scouting staff before they start actually making signings, it gives him a free look at the team and all their loan players and it removes a ton of pressure. Any criticism will be blunted by mentioning the ban, the loss of Hazard etc.

I think that's part of the current lovely implementation of VAR, rather than a fundamental issue with video assistanted refereeing. There's plenty of ways of making it better.

I thought he was surplus to requirements and looking to be sold anyway?

He (reasonably enough) wanted first team football. Klopp always wanted to keep him, as he can play either side. I'd assumed his hanging around late into preseason meant that he'd come round.

how did kepa keeper end up doing last year? he was first worlds most expensive goalie and then i heard nothing about him the rest of the year

From extensive mots scouting, he looked decent but not amazing. Some good saves, the odd gently caress up. The exact kind of player you would hear very little about.

He didn't show much to put him in the de Gea/Ederson/Alisson group.
