@JacobsBen Cheers Ben, we can read. What about Fulham?

[Paul Waller @PWally_25]

@CFCDaily Left field? They’ve only spent 4 billion

[Paul Waller @PWally_25]

This is 100% accurate!

He floats through games and produces moments but never controls games.

The way some of our fanbase talk about him, he should be controlling every game he plays

[CentreGoalHQ @centreGoalHQ]

🚨🎙️Jurgen Klopp on Manchester United signing Carlos Baleba:

“Honestly, I think Manchester United have made a huge mistake. I watched Baleba many times and I don’t see the player people are talking about.

He has physicality, yes, but potential to become an elite midfielder? I don’t see it.

£70m for him is a lot of money. If Manchester United believe Baleba is the midfielder who will take them back to the top, then I think they will be disappointed.

They need players who can control games, not players who simply run around and make tackles.

I would never spend that kind of money on Baleba”

[Paul Waller @PWally_25]

Baleba has all the attributes to be a top top player. Turn of pace, power and can drive through gaps with the ball….

But he is still very raw, gives the ball away a lot and can be rash.

Be interested to see how he gets on in front of 70k a week and a demanding fan base

[Ben Jacobs @JacobsBen]

Manchester United delighted with the Carlos Baleba deal.

Feeling a year ago was Brighton wanted 'Moises Caicedo' type money even though a price was never offered.

12 months ago, Manchester United were prepared to pay around £75m. They now add Baleba for five million less.

Baleba will sign a 5+1 contract subject to formalities.🔴

He’s injured you 🤡

Usual absolute guff from the #talkshite collective

Andy Goldstein admits the one thing he's "annoyed" about with Man United's potential signing of Carlos Baleba

[Paul Waller @PWally_25]

@Brightonian_ He’s not better…it’s 2 pre season friendlies

He could be, but he’s not yet

[Paul Waller @PWally_25]

@BrettMendoza_ Pure profit! Mr Barber will be licking his lips at this one

[Paul Waller @PWally_25]

Who’d have thought that putting the ball in a consistent area and batting sensibly would result in positive outcomes

[Test Match Special @bbctms]

Bangladesh continue to build a significant lead against Australia in Darwin.

They’ve now faced more deliveries than England managed in any innings during the 25/26 Ashes.

@WillHugall Why would he not stay?

[GerryTheGeordie @TunawithaCh]

Only took 20 years of unregulated spending and 74 breaches of UEFA and premier league rules and about 6 billion pound.

[Paul Waller @PWally_25]

@owen_bhafc Sounds like barber and his new best pal have agreed to keep the fee under wraps as he knows the whole thing doesn’t sit right with supporters.

His priority is to keep the “special connection” working wonders again

@talkSPORT Who’s the Temu Nicholas Anelka?

[Paul Waller @PWally_25]

Knifes are out for Xabi already…3 weeks before the season starts

[CFC Khris⭐️⭐️ @CFCKhris]

Xabi Alonso needs to go back to the drawing board and start getting his shit together as soon as possible.

If you can’t score a goal against a 10 men spurs team mostly filled with kids then you’re simply not ready for the PL.

First real test and we struggle to see your tactics, your set up or what you want from the players.

Depending on individual performances won’t work all the time, go ask Rosenior.

[Kieran Maguire @KieranMaguire]

An offshore company controlled by Roman Abramovich paid £6m to Eden Hazard's agent, and the Club paid £1m that was undisclosed.

According to both the Premier League and the FA, there was no sporting advantage to a career at Chelsea for Hazard (who did not benefit financially from these payments).

Purchase price £32m
Sale price £130m
Appearances 352
Goals 110
Assists 92

During that time

2 x Premier League titles
1 x FA Cup
1 x League Cup
2 x Europa League

[Paul Waller @PWally_25]

@JacobsBen Please explain to me how they did not gain a sporting advantage Benny aka Mr Chelsea PR?

[Paul Waller @PWally_25]

They don’t care pal…

You have one bad game and they’ll boo you off. Just ask Cucerella on the way out

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🔵🇫🇷 Maxence Lacroix: “Chelsea fans have to know that I will give everything for the badge. I will give everything for the club”.

[Paul Waller @PWally_25]

Love this! They should do it regardless.

@CFCDaily You don’t care enough to type up a tweet about how much you don’t care

[Paul Waller @PWally_25]

@wearebrighton That’s what any number 9 who is worth their salt do.

He’s the best striker I’ve seen in an Albion shirt but it’s a good time for us to move on now and invest in someone 8 years younger
