I know it’s considered poor form to hope for a big name signing and, instead, we need to demonstrate a sort of restrained wisdom about procuring the right player for the right position but, fuck it.

I’d love to see us go get a big name, even if only on loan. Chiesa, Raphina etc. Someone exciting.

Getting excited about your team signing an established player is part of the fun.

They’re handing out 10 year contracts which allows them to spread the fee in the books.

Crazy stuff- they’ve also hoarded players, they have 43 in their squad now I believe, will be 44 with Neto.

Not anymore you can give a 10 year contract but you can only amortise for 5 years on the books for FFP. They must be planning a huge sale at some point.

Think about it this is a private equity firm that is suppose to generate profit for shareholders spending money like a drunken sailor. Something is very fishy.

Think of Daniel Levy throwing his credit card at everyone. It doesn’t make sense.

Why aren’t the Limited Partners of the PE firm kicking up a fuss? Surely they can see this is madness. They’ll also have no leverage when they’re selling.

The only thing that makes sense is heavy Saudi involvement

Probably?

So Chiesa, Bakayoko, Kubo, Raphinha as options? Madueke wont get much of a sniff there now but not sure he's really that much of an improvement and we cant deal with that mob. Marcus Edwards as the cheap last minute desperate option but i hope not. Or just get Eze and stick Kulu back on the right.
 
I know it sounds like copism but if players can see whats happening with Chelsea i.e their enormous member (roster :troll: ), and still want to go their, then they're not worth pursuing. I 100% agree with Ange on only bringing in players who want to be here.
