Pressure put on the interns to spy but was that from Tonda or someone else?

Panic ye not. There is still the January window to do some tweaks etc. Plus the free agent market. It will take a little bit of time for the newbies to get up to speed and scoring (remember how Mane was slated, and also Finn Azaz when he joined). The bigger worry is what happens to Tonda …

Tommy Forecast was a pretty bad one

I agree with this. Also think the uncertainty regarding the FA could also have an effect - particularly on Tonda.

Oh dear.

Portsmouth makes sense for Bazunu 🙂

Interesting article in the Athletic regarding the ‘leniency’ of the FA towards Chelsea. Article is behind a paywall so here are some clips: It’s some result for them if you consider the scale of offending — financial chicanery, dodgy deals, cheating, whatever you wish to call it — that was brought before the English Football Association (FA) without, ultimately, leading to anything more than a £10million ($13.4m) fine. It goes on to compare the treatment of Chelsea with Everton, Forest, So let’s recap what exactly Chelsea did to warrant their 74 disciplinary charges and decide for yourself whether it was less or more serious than the disciplinary cases involving the clubs who, coincidentally, aren’t regarded as part of the Premier League’s ‘Big Six’. There was, to quote the FA’s judgment, clear evidence that Chelsea had “deliberately flouted” the system in a way that “reveals a shameful and arrogant disregard for the rules of the game, and which has done so much to bring the game of football, and the name of CFC, into disrepute”.

Because he prefers the North?

We’re very good at signing crocks

If the rest of Europe are not bothered about any 72 hour rule, then scrap it. I do believe that it is up to the clubs to make sure they cannot be spied upon regardless of whether their grounds are secure or not - after all this is 2026 not the dark ages.

Our fishy friends might like to take him back?

Ten pence?

One of the things I like about Tonda is how he got a tune out of Archer, Edozie, etc. when others have failed

That would be my worst nightmare 😱
