It's good to see the Richarlison Defence League is running strong.
I'd rather give him a run of games this season then panic buy a number 9 for 100 million on deadline day hoping they'll replace Kane, which will never happen anyway.

Oh I agree! I'm just amazed you're the voice advocating for peace!
I know they called in a favour and sold a load of old toot to Saudi but they must be way past any sort of FFP limits, if such a thing matters anymore.
If there was another #9 even close to Kane we would never have got 120m quid for a 30 year old with 1 year on his deal.
Why Harvey White?
Nah, Ndombele is worse.......
It doesn't really get any worse than a lazy footballer who'd rather not play.
(And no; before anyone says it; this is not remotely the same as Disco Benny only seeing the game as a job..... He was still a pro who brought 'it' when the whistle blew!)

We're at +£50m net spend. With the Kane money. Where is it coming from? I genuinely think the £150m cash injection last year was to buy Kane's replacement before Kane goes and that is Richarlison. And he ain't gonna be good enough.
When Bobby Robson was coach of Ipswich there was max 1 substitution allowed from a max of 5 players on the bench. I'd bet my arse that Ipswich rarely had anywhere near 5 on the bench as they probably had less than 16 players on the books.
The game was also much slower meaning injuries would only really have happened when someone got their leg broken by a thug. And no one would get knackered plodding about and need to subbed off.
It’s wild how things have changed. Plenty of summers at Spurs in the late ‘80s, early ‘90s, two players in and couple out would be considered a busy summer.
Until Levy lowballs for the next two weeks
1 year left on his deal, he's 22 in a month, wasnt a regular on loan at either Pompey or Derby. Might go on to have a decent career but it wont be here and probably not the prem.
Can't believe we named a new captain because Kane left when Lloris is officially still a Spurs player and captain.
The same Saudi's that bought from them this summer, are also funding their purchases via clearlake capital.
The premier league think it's fine though. And our media "experts" are too busy picking them to challenge for the title.
It will be too late by the time the premier league realizes that all these chelsea assets will end up in the Saudi league and that league is accepted into the CL or part of a new super league with Real, Barca, and Juve.
I bet Madueke is delighted he signed for them! Lol. At some point players, particularly younger ones will wise up that this is a player farm not a football club Boehly is running.
Some things are worth arguing about as there's enough evidence to do so.Oh I agree! I'm just amazed you're the voice advocating for peace!
This one isn't.
My opinion is that Richarlison is nowhere near good enough. But I will give him time to prove me wrong.
I didn't much like him at Watford or Everton though,
Levy likes to get players on loan with a purchase later, Dejan, Romero for example. Wonder if he’ll do something like that again to reduce the amount spent this window?
This........
There is no net spend per window. That's just for TV graphics that sky and the crew use to get interactions.
In real terms we paid 6m to Juve for Kulu this window and probably about 10m to Sporting for Porro.
VDV will be in installments as well.
A lot of what we have to spend will be based on how much Bayern paid up front for Kane and by the sounds of it, Levy rinsed them.
Alomg with Caicedo and Lavia and still 8 year contracts. How the hell are they being allowed to get away with it.
