I'm really glad to see we got him over the line before preseason. Hope we get a GK and Striker in ASAP too.
We struggled immensely at the beginning last year because we made our transfers very, very late into the window. Including when the season had officially kicked off.

Wow that takes me back lol
Never heard of NewPipe, thanks for sharing
That's pretty cool, thanks
This isn't entirely the fault of the FTC, much of the underlying problems are because of the courts.
The FTC under Biden has been going after many different industries, from aviation to publishing, while the DoJ has been trying to stop mergers in fields such as healthcare and food. Both the FTC and DoJ have lost many cases in the courts in recent years. For example, the DoJ went after chicken producers for price fixing, but the jury ruled that they were innocent. Both the DoJ and the FTC lost over half a dozen cases just last year.^[1]
It's become pretty common for companies to prepare for litigation, they no longer believe that cooperating with antitrust agencies to negotiate a settlement is feasible under the current administration.
The current administration is litigating most mergers, and has had some success. For example the DoJ successfully stopped both Lockheed Martin and NVIDIA from buying competitors while the FTC blocked healtchare company mergers in some states.
But now the Supreme Court has passed a decision that would allow companies to shop for judges so that they can challenge the constitutional authority of federal regulators like the FTC and EPA.^[2]
Midweek there are usually European matches on, so maybe on Fridays? Reddit footy subs have free talk Friday threads, maybe something like that?
I like the way this sub is right now in terms of sticking to news and transfer updates. If it turns into a wild west of memes I'll probably leave. But I can live with 1 day of the week. Daily Discussion threads would also be a great addition as ThePowerofGreek suggested.
From the beginning I thought we'd get it over the line with Β£60m, but thought it'd be structured Β£50m + Β£10m. As you mentioned he was a talisman for Chelsea for a few seasons. Last season was a bit of an anomaly with all the upheaval at Chelsea. I'm looking forward to seeing him play next to Case and Bruno
Mount + Onana + a Striker would be a good window! Hopefully we can get them over the line before preseason.
Oh it'll definitely grow, I'm sure there's lurkers that haven't interacted much yet (myself included).
No, I will not accept anything other then katnip as tender.
He is eternal. He's got a decent squad now that Palace have rebuilt, let's see how they get on next season!
