    Silly season is right around the corner and I am excited for so many reasons.

    It’s also somehow Dec 13 and I keep wondering where the time has gone. I hope everyone has been preparing for Christmas ahead of time, cause by golly time is running out and fast! So fucking excited for the holidays this year!

      As an aside, i think we need to tame expectations for silly season this January. The raya deal shows we’re already tight on FFP, plus our women’s team literally has more players than we can register already cuz Gio didn’t go on loan. Need to sell to buy on both ends, and not much to sell imo.

        I think we have a few players who may need to evaluate their future: Holding, Cedric, Partey Jorginho, Elneny, ESR, and Ramsdale. You are probably right in that we sell players, and maybe look to the summer to spend.

          Tbh besides Cedric and Partey I think I’m fine with keeping all the rest, unless they want to leave.

            I’m fine with them all leaving IF we have the chance to upgrade. I’d like ESR to stay but I wonder if his career would do better elsewhere.
