Chelsea have come into form of late 

I thought they would be a disaster but fair play to the Coach. Im not convinced they have been fully tested except Man City on the opening day plus they got lucky at Bournemouth.

Inzaghi is a target for Utd apparently.

 

Shame that because he's a brilliant manager.

He isnt swapping Lombardy for Cheshire or Greater Manchester.  Plus Inter are in very good shape. Man Utd dont actually have a world class player in their squad, Casemiro was at Real but not now.

Premier League chief claims the outcome of Lassana Diarra's case has 'EVERYBODY worried'.. and admits it could cause 'complete anarchy and chaos' to the transfer market as we know it

West Ham United vice-chairman Karren Brady insists the landmark ruling regarding the Lassana Diarra case 'has got everybody worried'.

The European Court of Justice ruled on Friday some of FIFA's rules on player transfers are contrary to European Union legislation relating to competition and freedom of movement.

The ruling is seen as crucial because it could make it easier for players to terminate their contracts and join another team. 

 

As a result, it could bring an end to big money transfers as players would hold all the cards, allowing them to pick and choose their next move. 

It has Brady fearing what it could mean for the market moving forward.

'The outcome of the Lassana Diarra case has got everybody worried,' Brady wrote in a column for The Sun.

'But one thing is for certain: if a player has the right to terminate their contracts because they want to go elsewhere, then so would their club.

'And the result of that would be complete chaos and anarchy.'

Brady added: 'If players can simply break their contracts and move around the world the entire system will collapse.'

The Hammers vice-chairman also protested what the ruling would mean for clubs lower down in the English football pyramid.

Several Premier League stars began their careers in the lower reaches of the English Football League (EFL), with some also breaking through at non-league clubs.

Those teams often insert sell-on clauses in case the player goes on to even bigger and better after securing a move.

Exeter City is one club who has benefitted from sell-on clauses as they were entitled to 15 per cent of Ollie Watkins' £28million move from Brentford to Aston Villa in 2020.

The club also received a tidy windfall from Jay Stansfield's record-breaking £10m move from Fulham to Birmingham City in the summer.

In her column, Brady used the example of non-league side Maidenhead United receiving £4m as part of West Ham's £40m deal to sign Max Kilman from Wolves.

'That's life-changing money for a non-league club but if there are no fees anymore that won't happen and the impact will be incredible.'

Diarra's case was prompted when he signed a four-year contract with Lokomotiv Moscow in 2013 but the deal was terminated a year later after the former French international was unhappy with alleged pay cuts.

Lokomotiv Moscow applied to the FIFA dispute resolution chamber for compensation and the player countered seeking compensation for unpaid wages.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled in favor of the Russian club and the player was ordered to pay 10.5 million euros ($11.2 million). 

Diarra claimed his search for a new club was hampered by FIFA's rules stipulating any new side would be jointly responsible with him for paying Lokomotiv.

The former Real Madrid player also argued that a potential deal with Belgian club Charleroi fell through because of the FIFA rules, and sued FIFA and the Belgian federation at a Belgian court for damages and loss of earnings of six million euros ($7 million). 

With the lawsuit still going through Belgian courts, the case was referred to the ECJ for guidance.

The Bosman had an unreal impact, the "Diarra" could be the new one. It could result in clubs offering lower wages but players will have to remember if they are requesting moves then they wont get a full pay up on the outstanding contract. 

 

As for the smaller clubs Im pretty sure they can still insert some sort of clause with bigger clubs relating to QTY of games played plus request higher initial transfer fees.

Crystal Palace 0-2 Liverpool

Arsenal 5-0 Southampton

Brentford 1-2 Wolves

Leicester 1-0 Bournemouth

Man City 2-0 Fulham

West Ham 2-0 Ipswich

Everton 1-2 Newcastle

 

Aston Villa 3-0 Man Utd

Chelsea 2-0 Nottingham Forest

Brighton 1-1 Tottenham

Liverpool will score three.

Arsenal may be restricted to three.

Brenttford will beat Wolves 2-0 maybe 3-1.

You could be right about Leicester.

City will concede at least one against Fulham but it won’t matter because they will score more.

Ipswich might just get two against the Hammers so it will be a draw.

Everton v Magpies is the most difficult to predict. 1-1?

Villa 1-3 United, I’m afraid.

Chelsea 4-0 Forest.

BHA 2-1 ‘Spurs.

 

EDIT. Half time at Palace 0-1 but I made my prediction before looking. No need to change. Three it will be.

 

EDIT 2.  Three it was not. That’s the Scouse for you. Let you down when you trust them.

If he manages to sort the defence and swaps the goalkeeper Chelsea will be top 4 edging out Villa and should win the mickey mouse Conf league.... especially if West Ham can do it.
