Yep and looks like we are signing Rutter for £40m. Blimey
That's a blow for Leeds. But at least there's plenty of time in this window to replace him. The last week could have been a bit testing!
How come Brighton are still so fabulous in the transfer market? Didn't they lose all their recruitment team to Chelsea?
All they lost was the person in charge. However Tony Bloom (the owner) created his own database called StarLizard which is the most comprehensive out there. That is the real key to our recruitment not who is in charge.
Chelsea are an absolute car crash and I can't wait for all these 8 year deals to start really biting them

Ah okay, that's good. It's a really good strategy. As a QPR fan it irritates me that Chelsea signs up practically all of the decent young players in south London and then then those that don't make their first team squad get loaned out to Championship clubs. Annoying.
Having said that they just sold Maatson, Hall and Hutchinson for £100 million and as they were youth players I think they can offset all of their fees for FFP.
In the sense that "fan" is a shortened form of "fanatic", i.e. someone who displays excessive enthusiasm for & often fierce, unquestioning adulation of a particular cause, no, but I do take a keen interest in the team's results & am disappointed by losses, though I soon get over them. I haven't been to a match since the 1967-68 season, when I saw Boro beat the mighty Chelsea (with the likes of Ron Harris, Charlie Cooke & Peter Osgood in the side) by 2-1 at Ayresome Park in the second round of the League Cup. That said, I couldn't resist the temptation to gloat after a fine, unexpected win by a team to which Carrick had made seven changes from the one (Carrick's first XI?) which beat the Swans at The Riverside on the opening day of the season over a team with the Dirties' pedigree.
