Ok. Him being talked about in some US soccer specialist bubble, or him playing for the US NT doesn't count as 'being heard from' though
The problem is he is not even in the pecking order is he?

I'm actually happy to hear that because Harit is a talented player who deserves better than Schalke.
To be fair, seems like they agreed to one fee then upped the price at the last minute, at which point Chelsea pulled out. I think walking away is the right move, and to be honest, I was secretly hoping this deal wouldn't happen anyway.
Imagine having to help another club loan your best player for free.
It's cruel that you keep tagging @Rektsanwalt under these tweets.
The main reason we cant sign a CM is because we havent the space to register any more players aged over 21. Money is very much a secondary issue.
I'm obviously not saying we should have loaned VdB on deadline day, that would be idiocy on top of idiocy.
Like with Lingard and Martial it should have been made crystal clear he's not in Ole's plans back in June, that he won't get many games this season, and he should have been encouraged to find a move elsewhere.
That's why I didn't do it here, but I see that you did it for me anyways.
Yeah. That’s definitely why we didn’t spend the 80m on Declan Rice.
Only idiots want us to spend 80m on Rice.

I was at the same place you are before the gold cup. I know it is a nothing tournament, and I know he plays for a non-traditional footballing nation, but he has something very rare in US football; arrogance. Not the bad kind, but the same kind Dempsey had and that is lacking in most of our footballers. He truly believes he is the best player on the field but he also worked his ass off in every game, all while playing a new position and being the best player on the pitch in the semifinal and among the top in the final. I am not saying he is going to be word class or even the best player on his team, but he will be a major contributor in a top league within a few years.
Or not.
Two words.
Official: Jeison Murillo returns to Celta Vigo on loan again, this time with a purchase option.

So that's the bet then - him moving to a bigger club (doesn't have to be a top club, but an upper table club in the top leagues) than Mallorca at some point in his career. Or him even chased by a top club, even if the move doesn't come off. Scoring at the World Cup will count too.Agreed.

And what's the stake?
Let's say - if I lose, I have to watch 3 MLS games of your choosing and write a short report about it here, and you have to watch 3 BuLi games of my choosing?

Ditto.
I only said what I did as there seems to be a fallacy on here that Chelsea get everything right in the transfer market!!
Make him watch Schalke, it's only fitting.
You’re a bad bad man. #youlovetoseeit
Works for me!
I would take that bet regardless as I watch 1-2 BuLi games a week as it is (RBL and BVB of course) and besides, you should be watching FC Dallas anyways to see who your next signing will be.
I can't. The terms say "BuLi".
shush you.

I was kind of going for the same joke. Should have added an "instead".
I would say that is not fair compensation on both sides. So either you are super confident or have not watched enough MLS to know what you will be subjected to. But, you made the deal so best of luck.
Patrick Roberts is still contracted to City? What the feck
What do they mean again?
Real Betis made throwaway joke comment in a Tweet in 2019 about Bellerín and commencing negotiations for him. My guess is that their comment is related to that.
Ahhh ok, thanks
In which half decent competitions is the window open past Sept 1? Russia, and ... ?
