The likes of Maguire are happy to take the prestige and extra income for what is effectively a non job. I think therefore it's fair their behaviour comes into scrutiny.

If people want to scrutinise his behaviour that’s up to them.

Personally I think getting worked up over what Harry Maguire gets up to in his spare time is something Sun readers do.

I have no doubts that Maguire is happy to use the man Utd captaincy for his own financial benefit. I therefore think the trade off is an expectation of his off the field behaviour.

How? You don't know the details, he hasn't been charged of any offence. 

Why the media report on arrests, rather than wait for a charges or better a conviction is entirely another thread.

He's going to be charged

Will he miss the first game of the season i wonder...

Chilwell going to Chelsea it would seem. 45-50m is the price being touted which seems okay given we were quoted 50m for the likes of Dunk. Either way, it's not like it's my money. I'll be glad to have defensive reinforcements anyway. LB and CB are two big weak spots in our side. Apparently Thiago Silva could be coming in on a free. Not sure his lack of pace would survive counter attacking teams but a short team deal could work well, tightening things up and the back, providing leadership and coaching some of the younger lads...

With Werner, Ziyech and potentially Chilwell and Havertz coming in, we are definitely improving the squad so we need to improve on this season. Top four is a must and yes I'd like to see us have a decent run in Europe but I'm not expecting too much when teams like Bayern exist... Challenging for a cup would be good to create a winning mentality in the squad.

Pretty much where I am with united, the gap to top 2 is so big from 3rd and 4th.

You should be challenging for title with those signings. You don't have to face City or Liverpool every week and with that squad, you should be beating all the others. Chelsea should definitely be in contention.

Was Giggs not captain after it emerged he had been shagging his sister in law?

Roy keane was charged when he was captain. Hey Eric Cantona was made captain after his assaulting.

I wouldn't have maguire captain anyway, then again we are a team devoid of any leaders.

I’m inclined to agree to be honest. Granted Chelsea need defenders - and it seems like they’re also sorting that - but when you bring in that many top quality players in 1 window I think you’d be expected to compete.

This season I would suggest Werner, Ziyech, Chilwell and Havertz would get into Liverpool or City’s team/squad. 
 

That’s not to say it’ll be a failure if they don’t win it or anything but they should definitely be closer (points wise)

We should be up the top, yeah. Huge investment and the club is backing Lamps big time.We've not got as many title winners in our squad now but you'd imagine it's time for some of the players to step up. If Werner can hit the ground running and Frank can solve our defensive woes I'd certainly expect us to be closer to the top in terms of points.

Not... illegal?

Just my opinion here, but I would rather my captain got in a drunken bar brawl in Greece, than shagged his sister in law for 7 years and paid for her to have an abortion.

A drunken fight is stupid, what Giggs did was morally repugnant.

Oh I don't disagree but I think when it comes to morality stuff like that, its best for the clubs not to get involved.

Can any Chelsea fans explain to me where all this cash is coming from? 

Over 200m in player sales the past two years and we will sell more in this window as the likes of Bakayoko, Emerson, Batshuayi etc will leave. Pedro and Willian were on high wages and have left.

It wouldn't be pre-season if Everton did not have a poor result against lower league opposition.

Allan is the first signing that I've actually been excited about in while if it comes off. There was stat when Everton were in for Højbjerg that he'd made more tackles last season than the entire Everton midfield put together

    • Yes I'm also glad to see more experimental leftfield artists on the line up  Best line up in years 
    • Also Elefant to the Buzz.
    • I've heard him mention Deftones and Biffy as holy grail bookings in the past.   I think given Simon is back again suggests he enjoyed himself last year, not sure if they all still live in the UK so don't know if they'd match the flight thing
    • I refuse to queue for it - usually take an aeropress and some way of heating water but this year I'll be pre making a few bottles of coldbrew and having an iced coffee every morning (if we can get hold of ice, otherwise it'll be a lukewarm coffee) 
    • Himalayan salt lamps are decoration lighting that you may purchase for your house. They are made of pink Himalayan salt and are believed to offer a variety of health advantages. In reality, advocates of salt lamps believe that they can purify the air in your home, relieve allergies, improve your mood, and help you sleep.   Some people claim that Himalayan salt lamps can improve air quality, boost mood, and aid with sleep. However, there is little evidence to support these claimed health benefits.     What Are The Salt Lamps, And Why Are They Used?   Himalayan salt lamps are created by inserting a light bulb into huge chunks of pink Himalayan salt. True Himalayan salt lamps are created from salt collected from Pakistan's Khewra Salt Mine. Salt from this area is thought to be millions of years old, and while it looks quite similar to table salt, the tiny amounts of minerals it contains give it a pinkish hue. Many individuals purchase Himalayan salt lamps because they like the way they look and the peace that the pink light provides in their homes. Meanwhile, some are drawn to their potential health benefits.   How Do Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps Work?   Salt lamps are thought to have health benefits because they are "natural ionizers," which means they change the electrically charged particles of the flowing air. Ions are compounds with an uneven number of protons or electrons, which gives them a charge. They are naturally formed in the air as a result of atmospheric changes. Streams, storms, waves, natural radiation, and heat all generate air ions. They can also be generated artificially using commercially available air ionizers. It is thought that Himalayan salt lamps produce ions by attracting water particles, which evaporate as a salt solution when heated by the lamp, resulting in mainly negative ions. However, this theory is yet to be verified.   Related Topic: Is Pink Salt Better Than Normal Salt? How To Buy Pink Salt In Canada? 8 Benefits Of Pink Himalayan Salt      What Are The Health Claims, And How Do They Measure Up? They enhance the air purity   They are promoted as helpful for persons suffering from allergies, asthma, or respiratory disorders such as cystic fibrosis. There is presently no proof that using a Himalayan salt lamp can eliminate harmful bacteria and enhance indoor air quality. The argument that they are beneficial to persons with respiratory issues may be based on the ancient technique of halotherapy. According to this therapy, persons with chronic respiratory diseases are helped by spending time in saltwater caves since salt is present in the air. Some researchers have found that this approach may be beneficial to specific respiratory disorders, but further high-quality studies are still needed.   Eases Coughing As you are aware, the benefits listed in the previous section highlight the distinct characteristics of Himalayan salt lamps. When these lamps heat up, they emit negative ions that offset the positive ions in our surroundings, resulting in cleaner air quality. This process increases cilial activity in our airways, which aids in the removal substances from the lungs. In essence, Himalayan salt lamps act as natural air filters, promoting general health.   In a nutshell, Himalayan pink salt lamps not only remove impurities from the air but also assist your body filter air more efficiently, making sure any foreign particles you inhale do not enter your lungs.   They can help you sleep   There have been no studies looking into the impact of Himalayan salt lamps on sleep. However, a 2013 study examining the effects of air ionization on relaxation and sleep found no evidence of a positive effect. Thus, even if salt lamps have an effect on the air environment, it is unknown whether this will change sleep patterns. If you replace strong electric lights with a Himalayan salt lamp, the dark light could help encourage weakness near the end of the day. This is because being exposed to bright light before bedtime can cause the sleep hormone melatonin to be produced later.   SUMMARY: Himalayan salt lamps are said to improve air quality, elevate mood, and aid in sleep. However, there is right now insufficient evidence to support these statements.     Do Pink Salt Lamps Provide Any Benefits?   Although some of its health claims have not been verified by science, Himalayan salt lamps may provide additional benefits. This includes: They are attractive: If you like how they look, they could be a good addition to your home. They help to create a soothing atmosphere that allows you to unwind. They may help minimize light in the evening: If you have trouble sleeping, utilizing dim lights in the evening may help you fall asleep more quickly.     Further Ways to Purify Your Home Air   Himalayan pink salt lamps are not the only technique to improve your home's air quality. Pair them with air purifying houseplants or any of these other easy but incredible ways to naturally filter the air in your home, helping you and your family to breathe the healthiest, cleanest air imaginable!     Read More...
