Boehly's group is. That's not debt that Chelsea is burdened with. It's debt that Boehly's group of buyers is saddled with.
And spare me the snide "you're on crack" comments. I don't believe I insulted you in my response.

That's the problem with our club having a plan we will get clowns like you crying like a cunt because we got the majority of our business done early
I would be mad as fuck if we would be in for less talented Ndombelly... who is not wanted by better team then Wet Spam.
Fact that Aouar is most closely linked to Nottingham and Paqueta to Wet Spam just goes to show real level of these players from the team that finished EIGHTH in Ligue 1.

As a closing point it's worth remembering we are not looking to sign the players you lot have watched, we will be signing the players that AC/FP have watched and evaluated. They may well be the same person but very different players.
Why just "one of the most creative".
Turn it up few noches more.
"Best that has ever played the game".
"Genius like no other before him"
"Future Ballondor winner"
"Most talented human being ever lived" etc.
FFS man has never been a starter in Atalanta... :contefacepalm2:
I remember similar talks when Moura joined as well. That during one previous season, he was close to top for "chances created" or "key passes" for PSG.
Yea, what a wizard he has been. And lifted the whole team up on his own.
I make you right but its one of the few things i find seriously weird with Conte. Imagine the players we'd have missed out on over the years, not least Ardiles and Modric.
Tbf his key signing at Chelsea was Kante
Don't think he's solely fixated on height
No, we're not crying out for a creative midfielder. You may be crying out for a creative midfielder, but it doesn't look like Conte is.
And as far as the positions you are complaining we didn't fill, have you seen what was available for these positions? Can you name me a player that was available and that we wanted that we didn't go for?
You couldn't make this shit up.
Well perhaps you can?

One week to go and a lot going on. Lots of players being linked and a few more that have not made the media. I'd ignore all the "spurs are interested" headlines right now no matter where they are from, as we have put the feelers out for a lot of players. Especially home grown ones, agents, selling clubs, even people at the club are jumping on them and blowing them out of proportion. If FP likes a player, we've enquired, if AC likes a player we've enquired, if they are being put forward by their agent or one of our scouts and we think they are decent we've enquired, etc etc etc. Zaha, enquiry..... Dan James, enquiry..... Ziyech, enquiry.... Madison, enquiry..... I think you get the point, just because we've asked the question re their availability it certainly doesn't mean we are looking to sign them, because AC doesn't actually want any of them. It costs nothing to ask the question, and knowing the situation allows things to change quickly to best fit the jigsaw.
I have a couple of names we are looking at but even then I'm not convinced they'll go anywhere because FP has a lot of names on his list right now and besides the fact we know one of them needs to be Association trained it'll be a case of how the two we want in best fuse together, both in fit (one of the two HG at least) and also cost.
One thing I'm certain of that I can add is that we are not only looking in this country for the HG option, and have definitely had more than just enquiry contact with one player from overseas and this player has not hit the media yet.
As a closing point it's worth remembering we are not looking to sign the players you lot have watched, we will be signing the players that AC/FP have watched and evaluated. They may well be the same person but very different players.
Now try not to get this shut down ffs.

You’re going to get cooked by everyone but you’re spot on
Be heartbreaking wouldn't it. How on earth would we cope
Honestly. Our fans :contefacepalm2:
Is he really shit or are you just scarred by Lyon midfielders? FWIW I’ve never seen him as quite the star everyone on here did, but at £35m his versatility and dribbling would surely help us. He’s not a great playmaker but he’s a strong ball carrier, can play wing or 8 like Malinovskyi which I like, has good attacking instincts and interplay.
He does hang onto the ball quite a bit and isn’t quite as explosive as you’d expect for his skillset.
Sure, but are they ones that Conte wants? I'm sure we could have gotten most of them, but the fact we didn't go after them should tell you something.
Villarreal gave him a one year deal with an option for two more, they didn’t take up the option and released him.
winks linked to roma, thank you jose
let's keep a low profile..until it's a done deal
First off, I’m not saying Traore is a good option or anything. But to measure it based on successful % of crosses is a bit flawed. Having watched Traore play, I can confidently say the majority of those crosses are coming from 1v1 (or 1v2) opportunities. He has to take a man on to get a cross off because he doesn’t play for a side that creates space for him.
Compare that to Royal who basically only crosses the ball when he’s unmarked.
Naturally, it is far easier to get a cross off when a defender is not 2 feet away trying to block it and taking away 70% of the crossing angle.
Traore’s strength is not his crossing technique but the attention he demands from the opposition. He almost always draws at least 2 defenders… which means one less defender somewhere on the pitch. All he has to do is float a ball to the far post and now there’s a numerical advantage in the box.
If that’s who they spunk the big money on, that’s a relief. Isak is really talented, uses his body well, has potential, but he isn’t a superstar, not the player who’s going to fire them to top 4 any time soon. I think he scored like 10 total goals last year for La Real. Good player not great one.
