If true, then I reckon you could take your pick of Chelsea’s current strikers to buy.
Wouldn’t be surprised to see us get Giroud now, £5m or so. Batshuayi and Abraham would be too much.
We can't afford to gamble. I hate the french prick, but if it benefits us, so be it. Besides, it would kill the Scum if he contributes even a little bit to our success.We have Harry Kane who never gets injured and next season will be able to play every second of every game we might play.
Let's not bother about a 2nd striker because we all know they will only end up on the bench crying.
They have a multi billionaire owner.If Chelsea have money why don't we ?
I know you say the stadium but we've been run so well in the past 20 years so surely ENIC will be prepared for such a situation![]()
They just had a year where they didn’t spend a penny due to transfer ban and also sold a player for 110 mill(hazard).If Chelsea have money why don't we ?

Abraham will want first team football, especially with Euros coming up next season then the World Cup the year after. He’d get more games at Spurs, but would still want to be number 1. Also would cost £50m considering his age, nationality and experience.So Chelsea buying Timo Werner, but the 8th richest club on the planet would have to make do with Giroud, for £5m, because Batshuyi or Abraham would be too expensive

Come on.If Chelsea have money why don't we ?

Fair enough But my second post remains the same . We're in big trouble if we don't somewhat improve our squadCome on.
You know why Chelsea has money.
They are A) coming off of a enforced transfer ban where they were unable to spend money on players.
B) coming off the Hazard sale, which clocked in at over 100 mil.
C) Roman have been known to use the club to launder his money out of Russia.
Don’t see why people are against Giroud. He’s the perfect option to come in for/playing alongside Kane. He’s a better Llorente.

Are there 4 from this group of freebies that can significantly strengthen us do we reckon? I think so
We are in BIG BIG trouble if we don't invest this summer
What's the point of the stadium if there's nothing good to play in it..
When Chelsea buy a player, the overriding factor is how much will he improve the team.It’s sickening every season we end up with fuck all and Chelsea tend to have maybe 1 or 2 baron seasons, then they are back to winning titles etc. Spurs never seem to buy the quality Chelsea do.
Chelsea get Werner. We get Giroud. And you'd be happy?
Chelsea have Werner. We have Kane. I know who I'd rather have of the two.Chelsea get Werner. We get Giroud. And you'd be happy?
Is it any wonder we're the butt of so many fookin' jokes

I think it's safe to assume that there will be next to no spending not for the first time, can't worry about Chelsea they stay amongst it by pulling off big deals and winning stuff on regular basis.We are in BIG BIG trouble if we don't invest this summer
How can we be ambitious if Chelsea are going out and getting Ziyech/Werner and we're sniffing around Chelsea rejects and some contract rebels its pathetic.
We need a CDM , CB , RB and a ST. Levy took out a loan. There are deals out there if we are creative , time to do some good business this year. No excuses because we will be even further behind.
