Probably more a plea "SOMEONE must know how this works"

Maybe a good signing on a free....

I almost have to respect how vague a headline this is.

Who is it?

Icelandic press don't need to be as careful

Icelandic footballer Gylfi Þór Sigurðsson will not be charged with “an offence against a minor” and is, therefore, free of all charges, the football website fotbolti.net reports. An investigation team collaborating with the Crown Prosecution Service has concluded that the available evidence does...

Oh right. God, I forgot all about that.

Even without the baggage, it's about 5 years past time to think of him as a Premier League player.

From the bits I've heard it's the correct decision as it was borderline entrapment. However being in that position in the first place is pretty scummy

I heard exactly the same from a Scouse acquaintance. He wasn’t the first and no doubt won’t be the last.

Fair play to him if this is true. One way not to blow all your money.

The Athletic have gone full Chelsea

They deleted it as it was totally weird for a news site.

Jurgen is a nut but I don't think that's as bad an option as Lampard was for Chelsea tbh.

Shameful. Brainless.

Rent boys, sign on, always the victims. Just some of our greatest hits over the last few weeks. At least 2 supporters banned for racist abuse in the last couple of years. Football clubs all have arseholes supporting them

Todd Boehly gone full Morgan and blasted the players in a dressing room rant.

This is going to end very badly

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

It would be hugely amusing if we caught them in the table

He's not going to bite the hand that feeds him.

I think there's a chance, Chelsea know they've nothing to play for, they seem to have little team spirit, Frank and Boehly are horrendous, while we are on the up.
