I don’t think he’s worth £30 million or anywhere near it mate. He’s not at a top class level but the way he finishes is clinical and clean if you know what I mean. I haven’t seen him play and only seen the clips the same as everyone else. He does have outstanding attributes that if he was playing with better players he’d likely improve massively. I don’t think that’s worth a £30 million gamble but if there’s a deal to be done and levy can get creative to get him here then I’m all for it.
And what I was meaning about the goals don’t move is if you have a player who can finish but doesn’t have anything else he’s fucked. He’ll always stay at that level or maybe go up one level but if he has that finishing ability with pace,movement,intelligence and a desire to succeed then they can move up levels quickly.
Look at someone like Vardy,played right down the leagues but had this self belief to get to a better level. He can finish but all those attributes i mentioned has got him to where he is today. He’s not physical but his movement actually can get him out of situations that he doesn’t have to wrestle with a 6ft 3 centre back. I’m not saying Orban is Jamie Vardy but he looks hungry and has got the tools to back it up.

Depends what the manager at the time wanted - I can't imagine Mourhino, Nuno or Conte would have wanted Eze or Maddison. Hence we've just bought Maddison

I'd have certainly backed buying Eze from QPR - think he was only sold for £20m ish.

Which is why you shouldn't always back the manager, but also make the occasional club signing. Provided you're making astute club signings and not Rodons or Clarkes (who actually turned out quite decent, but we didn't persist with him).

If manager's don't play these young players that are club signings they just whither and die, losing value. Really Jose and Conte were disasters in terms of developing the squad.

Not in real terms they aren't, they have bought for huge sums which are spread out over a number of years, fine, but the money for Havertz and Mount will also be spread over a number of years too, which he doesn't mention at all.

Spreading transfer fees out over an agreed period isn't some new trick that only Chelsea have cottoned on to, everyone does it.

If there's someway that it slips through FFP by fancy bookwork then fine, bit in absolute terms they are not in profit

Then we're back to the question of, how are Chelsea doing it to the extent they are when nobody else is? Most obvious answer to me is that it's just an absolutely terrible idea.

Havertz and Mount aren't spread over years. They're booked immediately. Hence Chelsea making a profit on paper. But they'll need to continue making Havertz and Mount sales every year to stay afloat.

£745,000 a week saved if his reported salary of £200,000 is correct. Although I can't see us not having to pay towards it wherever he goes.

If we want rid of Tanguy I think we have to supplement 50% and forego a transfer fee. I feel like Ange was probably asked to see if he can salvage something there this season hence his early involvement in training sessions, noted his complete lack of application and told Danny "sorry mate, but this fat fuck is a lost cause."
 
Anyone else completely relaxed about the squad?

We've had an excellent window and as it stands, our squad is ridiculously stronger than last season

Can anyone remember any club having such an upgrade in one window ?

I personally don't want any more signings as I'd worry about squad harmony

Daddy Ange has been given all the utensils, now watch him cook 😍😍😍

They all don't stand a chance against AngeBall

And with Don Fabio pulling the strings in the background, I'd say we are primed for world domination for quite some time 😄😄😄

I'm so excited

Premiership Clubs shouldn’t be helping them out by buying their players. Can they sell everyone to Saudi league every year?
Stop buying their player and they will be in big trouble in a few years
