With Sess, the signs should have been heeded..... The year he came up with Fulham (and then got relegated) he left no impression (regardless of goal and assist tally's).........
Johnson has at least risen to the (EPL) occasion upon arrival.

What the hell has the colour of their skin to do with anything??? Did i say anything slightly racist???
They are using their owners money! Money the club doesn´t have, or their daily operations bring in = CHEATING!!!
Were you born yesterday?? I hate to break it to you, but what Chelski, Man City, and PSG have been doing the last 15 years is CHEATING!! And it has destroyed football as we knew it!
Isn't one big difference that we bought Sessegnon after he was injured, and before we saw how he recovered from it?
The devil is in the distinction here.
Probably the most stupid post i´ve seen for a long time, just beat the post it was answering!Any club that wins more than us. Spends more than us. Or shows more ambition than us must, by definition, be cheating.
I think that's how it works, mate. .
That is....not how the football business works or has ever worked.
Come on nowProbably the most stupid post i´ve seen for a long time, just beat the post it was answering!
That's Joanie your talking about!
Most clubs in the premier league (in fact all of them, even bloody us now I think?) have had money put in to the club by owners.
One yacht and 100 lawyers!
Not to mention every other level on the pyramid, other league in the world, or time in football history.
A football club in a promotion and relegation system durably running off of only its own revenue is an impossible dream. ENIC have broken historically unprecedented ground in how low they're willing to run the wages/turnover ratio, but even they haven't achieved the cold fusion perpetual motion machine of a "sustainable" club in an open system.
Now when you can be an anticompetitive cartel colluding to keep labor costs down like the NFL? Different story.
Possibly. I can't remember tbh.
In which case , it's even worse. Due diligence wasn't done , just like Ndombelly. Same window as well. Not to mention Lo Celso .
Jack Clarke was actually the best purchase of that window and he probably played about 10 minutes in total for us!
Whoever was responsible for that window should have been sent to the gulag !

they probably wanted us to pay them and pay his wages
My guess is 50p, a packet of Maltesers and a £20 gift card for the Spurs Store when he makes 50 league appearances.
Ok sorry! Let me rephrase, they are using A LOT more money than their revenues bring in. They are operating on huge losses! Better?
I really fail to care much whether big spending is 'organic' (i.e United) or whether some billionaire has put some cash in to the club. Whatever it is, it all traces back to somebody along the line investing money in to get the club to that point.
The valid reason to care about the Saudis is that their money happens to come from a particularly Not Nice source & in the case of Chelsea they basically are actually cheating.
Was better in the old days when you could get away with a packet of smokes and a couple of cans of Boddingtons
The further away we get from it the clearer it becomes that we would've been better off not spending any money that summer. Not a single signing achieved anything
