Tosin & Mudryk deals with Chelsea

It’s more likely that every player in the Prem is on something that only those who have been caught. The level of testing is pathetic compared to other sports and it’s deliberatly that way.

Do you still read Lance Armstrong motivation books?

We all know Soviet sport has been doing this industrially since the 70s. Russia is still banned from athletics for that reason
 
People keep saying Mudryk is a no lose gamble. They are wrong. What Mudryk is is a gamble. We needed that extra attacking player. So instead of spending money on a top level talent that has proved as such over the last couple of seasons, we took a risk on a player that hasn’t played in two seasons.

That it is a loan means it is less of a risk financially as far as transfer fees are concerned. BUT it is a risk in other ways. If Mudryk fails, we will likely finish lower than we would have had we signed an established top level winger.

Mudryk is a punt. Maybe he pays off. I hope that he does. But that’s a wait and see.

Who did we choose not to buy?
 
I encourage everyone to read this. Draw your own conclusions. Don't rely on mono-dimensional 4 word rejoiners for your opinions. At least give ytourself a chance to see the larger picture.

Come on - Meldonium was something developed by the Soviet military to improve the endurance of their soldiers in the Afghanistan war. It's not something you accidentally find in your wife's Colgate. It's the same thing Sharapova and all the others got caught doing.

The FA went soft because they knew serving the full 4 years would permanently end his career.
 
Do you think we screwed up that deal or it was just that City came in for him and he chose them over us?

As I understand it, the deal with Ndiaye was actually not contingent on Richy, it was apparently done and agreed between the clubs, however without getting into the details I heard, what we saw is what it was and there's nothing more we could've done to get the deal across the line (again, we were apparently right there). I know you're likely aware of all this and the details, I just wanted to say that for once, I do not think the club could've done any more to get either this guy or their first choice Gakpo.
