Maybe Gil wants first team football in a world cup year so we are doing him a favour? James would be a stop gap for a year and then Gil comes back.

good thing i was nott at work today, that would of happened
 
A few months ago we had the likes of Airfixx Airfixx chewing which Chelsea players we'd be cherry picking this summer:contefacepalm2:
Ah yes the company line of their finished chickens have come home to roost etc.
Perhaps he should retire after this Chelsea are still the same like many of us said they would be, same as Tottenham are still the same when push comes to a shove.
 
I don't need to watch the Wolves game again to know I was bothered in that match. And I was right to be because we created extremely little & ended up sneaking a 1-0 win due to a well worked set piece. We weren't scoring from open play in that game.
Wolves had 20 shots with a total xG of 0.71. So an average xG of 0.035 per shot. We had 11 shots with a total xG of 1.67. So an average of 0.15 xG. Our chances were 4 times as likely as to go in, yet they were the dangerous team and we were the ones "that didn't look like scoring from open play?" I suggest you rewatch that game.

What’s them signing Igalho got to do with them vetoing a signing too?

Re-read the conversation.....

It goes a little something like:

You: Fan power stopped Man U signing Arn.
Shady: It didn't prevent them signing Igalo.

Whilst not a brilliant signing he made more sense when they signed him than them trying to sign Arnautovic,

Oh come on, it's absolutely the same shit...... Both players on the brink of retrement (1 age... the other lost in China).... The ony notable diff is that at his best Arn was a much better player.

and certainly made more sense than us trying to sign Dan Fucking James.

Then you should get on twitter and rally the troops. 👍
 
Kurt Zouma was never even close to as impressive as Fofana was in that first Leicester season. In fact I don't think Zouma's reputation has ever been at that level. Fofana was 18 or 19 and already going for close to 40 million despite only having played in France.

He's been incredibly highly rated within French football for a long time. The only risk here is injury & whether said fee places too high an expectation on him. The player himself has serious quality.

Zouma was fantastic pre-cruciate injury. Regarded as one of the best young centre backs in Europe when they signed him and then performed that particular season like one of the best young centre backs on the planet, especially when you consider the shit that was going on round him. Slightly older than Fofana was but performing on a much bigger stage so to speak.

Fofana is good. He had a good debut season. 2 seasons ago. But if his norm is what I've seen of him so far this season with Leicester, then he's got a long road to get to before he's at that level again. We've seen how knee injuries can ruin a centre backs career.

Signing Fofana, after a career threatening injury, for a world record fee is quite frankly embarrassing and laughable.

I'm all for going for your targets. Everyone thought Liverpool overpaid for van Dijk at the time and of course it came to show they didn't. But it's quite obvious Chelsea missed out on Kounde so they went and got what was likely their second choice in Fofana instead and Fofana isn't on Kounde's level.
 
Feels like it - how long must we wait... Son kulu richie Gill perisic sess doc royal spence.... All wide. DMs in Hoj, Bent, sarr, skipp and bissouma. We've loaned out Glc fat Ndombele and winks whove all failed, but surely we can just get one decent attacking MF for games when we need to change shape.
No, we don't. We can change shape without having an attacking midfielder. And given how few times we will need to change our shape, do you think we will spend any serious money on this position? Meaning, what's the point? If you will play this shape half the time, then you go all out for a quality CAM. If you're only playing it 5-10% of the time, rather than get a random player, you get a quality front 3 player and you play Kane or Deki deeper.
 
So we signed Lenglet on loan and Chelsea sign Fofana and Koulibaly and possibly Gvardiol next year. Absolute piss take. Levy has proven this summer that there was no intention in competing in the future because we are not willing to sign the players we need to compete. The £150m was meant to boost our spending and enable us to do deals not just sign a few players. This is a board who did not sign players when Poch needed them most and they are shafting another manager.


Hahahahaha what a waaaart you are.
