18 goals this season in the Eredivisie. 10 assists on top of that. And only 22 years old.

There's no loan fee. We're just paying his full wage.

Which again as stated. Is no different to last season, so we're no worse off and will have zero bearing on the business we do.

When you factor in Perisic was on more, he's cost us sweet fuck all.

Ummm... what the fuck?

What kind of a backwards logic is that?!?

If you replace one player with another, how does it come to "not costing sweet fuck all"? It still costs money - overall costs not increasing is not the same as not costing anything. I mean, if you would be leasing a car for which you pay 700£ per month. And you return it to vendor and take on another car that costs 650£ per month... then... are you getting car for free then? Or are you actually paying 650£ ? :D

Werner will costs the salary he is on (and which he is not even close to be worth of) and that's a fact.

Plus there are more abstract things - like opportunity cost. We took on a foreign player for a season who is not really good enough. Alternative would have been to... you know, try with someone that at least MIGHT be up to needed standard. But we can't because he takes one of foreign players spots.
 
7 goals and 9 assists to Sarrs 3 goals and 3 assists , Gallagher incredible at pressing and comes across as more of a leader, plus a much needed homegrown player. So yes he is preferable to Sarr in just about every metric.

However if that £50m eats into the budget enough to cheap out on a top winger and centre forward then i agree with you. We should be able to get all 3 but we know how it goes. For what its worth i think he'll end up staying at Chelsea.
No we can’t afford £50M on CG when we need tomimprove our attacking quality. Eze plus a top CF is needed more than CG who is not even a 6 which is what people want more. We have enough midfielders of the sane ilk plus the youngsters. We can’t play them all.
 
Little overhyped for me.

20 goals in 66 appearances nothing to write home about. Of course a lot are likely off the bench, and a little out of position, but then they also have Silva / KDB feeding you.
Feel the same.

maybe I'm missing something, though?

Apparently another elite pressing player.

£68m. We'll be paying £45m+ on the the likes of Toney or Giminez.

Think both will be less than that tbh but essentially Alvarez is twice the price of either.
