The problem is probably the 50m Chelsea want.

Very pleased with the business we done between last summer & Jan. Still work to do re incomings and outgoings, and hopefully we can achieve a good 75% of it this coming summer...I'm just being realistic about how tough it's gonna be to get rid of Sess, Tanganga, Dombs and even Spence if Genoa don't keep him.
One area we do need to focus on is the number of ENG players in the first team. We need more than just Mads & Skippy + Big Frase. I guess we'll tackle that one by integrating Ash, Devine and another youngun...hopefully they'll play and not just be there to make the quotas. But yeah be grand to get a couple of regular contributors in. Personally I've always had a soft spot for KWP and I'd welcome him back with open arms any day. Another englishman in the middle and upfront and that'd be very sweet.
But yeah, when you see how much Bergvall cost compared to Wharton, it's east to understand why clubs often go down the foreign route.
Isn't that what we wanted at the start of this window?
I am certainly happy about this window but it's far too early to rate it based on incomings.
If Dragusin, Bergvall and Werner, in time, turns out to be top class signings, then this window may turn into a 9 or 10

Aside from CB; lack of depth hasn't been the issue this season; it's the sheer amount of injuries compounded by bans and international tournaments.
If Bergvall is worthy of minutes next season then the more he gets the better...... Putting the bland and average Gallagher in his way would be a bad idea.
The above potentially applies to Devine too if Ange deems him ready.
#6 / #8 - Biss / Bentancur / Sarr / Skipp / Bergvall + possibly Devine = 6 players for 2 spots.
It makes more sense to look at Maddison's skill set seperately rather than mash it all up as none of those listed there can do what he does.
Next season (subject to movement and. again, Ange deeming young players ready):
Maddison / Kulu (???) / GLC (???) + Donley (???)
To me the very clear path is to sell GLC & PEH and use the proceeds to buy another creative/AM.
Gallagher ain't it.
Some more photoshopping skills bought on Wish
I dont want us to buy him but think there is a good chance we will . I'd be putting all our resources into a couple of game changing attacking players and a good rotation option for Udogie and make do and mend elsewhere . Plus i dont want to help Chelsea out in any way.
Most people on here are just as bad as they accuse Levy of being when it comes to over-valuing our players (many of whom they actually deem to be shit! LOL)........
I'd happily take £20m for PEH.... But could easily see it being less due to the market. Ditto GLC.
Similarly when we see people throwing similar numbers around for players like Reguilon and previously the likes of Lamela, Sanchez & Dier.
The fact is that since 19/20 the only players who have been sold for more than €15m are Kane and Bergwijn.....
- That's 2 out of 24 senior player exits.
- Only 10 of which we got ANY kind of fee for.
- 14 left for free.
Pay him £1M to fuck off
The January transfer window: From £2.36bn to £112m spent - and a collective refusal to gamble
The Premier League has known few transfer windows as dormant. It took Crystal Palace's late spending to take the figure north of £100m

Welcome to the club homie
You'll never sing that...
LB rather than a CB makes more sense to me.
I've no prob with Davies as CB4; unless we've decided that Dragusin will not be much use at RCB in which case, yeh, Romero back-up is needed..... Preferably someone with some pace to counterbalance any VDV absences.
PEH is worth more on our bench for the rest of the season than he would have been sold for in this window.
If that means we only get 10-15m for him in the summer then so be it....... He only cost us 16m in the first place.

Yep, i think its just a matter of take what you can get now. Lo Celso could easily end up being £8m to £10m. Thats the current market. Its all about getting players off the wage bill, freeing up squad places and not letting them leave on a free.
