I know that we aren’t getting Rice type players you are missing my point of why we aren’t and never have gone after these types of players even when we were in a stronger positions to buy them

I was making my own quote actually
What am I a fucking scout. We pay a network of people a small fortune to do that.
As Ange has said that we knew Kane was going, why have we not got anyone lined up that is better than an outside punt?
Nah, not buying that cop out in this context.....
You don't need to be a scout...... One would expect the world's best strikers to be high profile players that any Tom, Dick or Harry can name; so shoot....... Name who we should buy.
I’m not necessarily saying we should have gone Rice, it was a standard point of us always going for the cheaper option
90 'opportunities'(*) to prove yourself should be more than ample....................

Hope we get it done before we get gazumped.
FUCK SAKE. WE'VE BEEN LINKED WITH ORBAN FOR A WEEK AND HE STILL HASN'T FUCKING SCORED FOR US. ABSOLUTE PASSENGER AGAINST BRENTFORD.
ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT, CHAMPIONSHIP CLOGGER.
WHY THE FUCK HAVEN'T WE SIGNED MBAPPE.
OK..... And he'll leave the Italian league champions and CL this season for us right now will he? (Having already reportedly turned down Man U and Saudi billions to sign a new deal at Napoli......)
dondo .........You see where this leads?
We are already at the "preparing" phase. You are late on this one

OK; but you WERE pitching the idea of grossly overpaying for players; so you'd rather we'd paid 80m for Maddison than 40m? ....How does that help?
Good point well made
The more chronic problem in our recent transfer business for me is that we consistently end windows a player or two short of the squad needed for the manager to really implement his ideas and make a real effort at the full slate of fixtures.I’m not necessarily saying we should have gone Rice, it was a standard point of us always going for the cheaper option
In years past we'd go for a player, shy away over the money involved, and choose a lesser option.
I don't think we've even bothered to pursue the Rice's and Caicedo's and Bellingham's of the world, but the players we've really targeted lately we've tended to get, or at least not shy away from the quoted price of (i.e. Luis Diaz)
Still fundamentally a problem of being unwilling to invest to the degree necessary to achieve major honors, but a slightly different problem.
Mate you are really not getting this are you?
You OBVIOUSLY get the players for as cheap as you can get them but sometimes to get the player you really need you might have to pay a little over the odds ,VVD and Alison spring to mind
Not sure if I've said this before but I've been on this forum for a while so here goes.
CHELSEA ARE A GANG OF ROTTEN MOULDY PISS FLAPS AND I FUCKING HATE THEM!!

Good night.
Scarlett, Veliz, Parrott, Donley, Soonsup-Bell, we already have 5 striker projects, do we need another one really?
OK.... What striker.......? We're back at square one.........
....................BUT; 50m over the value is not a "little over the odds".
