2024/2025 Premier League - The Drive for 5

But selling home grown players is exactly what these (nonsense) FFP rules encourage

I donā€™t think city were under any obligation to sell him. That only really started this summer.

Pep sold him because he didnā€™t rate him. Sold him for 45 million and signed Doku for 60 million.

Correct. City felt it best to toe the line given how they were being targeted.

This could be bigger than Salah or de Bruyne.

One player can lift a club on his own. Ronaldinho and Barcelona always spring to mind.

Palmer is an outstanding player. He could really
Transform Chelsea almost
On his.

Looking like a real master stroke by Liverpool to hold onto Salah and Trent. If they get Trent to sign a new deal it will be some start to the season.

We might have a real title race this season. Chelsea are purring too

City be delighted to be motoring so well so early in the season too.

Jacker is dancing again

Itā€™s kinda all bullshit at this stage. Everyone looks like theyā€™re playing well and within a shot until Christmas. Then Guardiola and city kick into gear and relentlessly devour points until they win it

While I agree and tend now to never get excited before January as City always come good, itā€™s hard not to think this is a real, real chance for Arsenal (or possibly Liverpool) to have a right go as Rodri is a monumental loss.

Itā€™s best enjoy the next few months so

And that fucking simpleton didnā€™t pick him for England

Jack (er) is everything thatā€™s good about soccer. Thanks to pep for signing him heā€™s a wonderful bit of stuff

Pep has tried his best to kill the Jacker in him.

Hard to disagree.

Itā€™s like Mourinho killing the kid in Duffer.

Sadly we must all grow up sometime

They also encourage playing your homegrown players and not to be spending a ball of money of players you canā€™t afford.

Yes selling Cole palmer had nothing to do with the homegrown thing.

Sure city spent another sixty million on a lad from wolves Iā€™ve never heard off along with Doku.

And the amusing thing about it is if city put Grealish for sale Chelsea would have bought him too.
