getting rid of players on big wages and replacing them with cheap alternatives is risky.
Not when those players on big wages are shit
Well I was very happy with Bergvall and Gray , less so Werner and can’t make my mind up about Solanke , but will give him a chance . So the window was an 8 out of 10 for me based on with a couple of weeks to go we would get some experienced quality in . It‘s now a 6 at best for me , we never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity
So what if Cardoso has the season of his life and Chelski and Woolwich bids £100m for him 
Another window that has Levy's paw prints all over it. Don't buy the Ange line that we only buy players we want, if you pay the money they will come, but we never will under this administration.
Our young prospects look like decent acquisitions, Gray, Bergvall & Wilson. Solanke ticks a lot of boxes and the market for top quality strikers is really poor at the minute.
However, we are short all over the pitch. If Biss goes on holidays mid season again we are now reliant on kids and Bents if his form returns, major gamble either way.
If Vicarrio gets injured we are up sh1t creek.
If Udogie gets injured we are reliant on an aging Davies or Spence, will he behave, has he the defensive ability?
Richy is still here and injured yet again, should have been shipped out, needed to be more ruthless here.
We have improved our bench somewhat, but needed more additions of higher quality to really push/start, an Eze, Olise or top notch no.6.

The stats don't lie my friend, touch grass
Doesn't matter, we have an option to buy him for 30m. If we want to buy him, we buy him for that.So what if Cardoso has the season of his life and Chelski and Woolwich bids £100m for him
It's basically a loan with an option but in reverse.
Levy gets a bigger bonus , we take our cut of the sale and we upgrade the carpet in the hotel lobbySo what if Cardoso has the season of his life and Chelski and Woolwich bids £100m for him
As I said, Risky.
So I guess what you're saying is that, as a club, we've taken risks.
Glad we've cleared that up then.
Yeah, I'm happy with the youngsters, but it's a shame the established winger was Werner rather than a quality winger. And gap in defence on the left...

Truly a disappointing window. The lack of ambition of this club is maddening.
Do people actually realise that the 2019 window was actually worse than our 2018 window
I was thinking about this the other day and trying to work out which was worse. 2018 we sold nobody too of course, no it probably just shades it. The fact a club can go a whole transfer window and not to a single deal is amazing. It will never be repeated.
Hindsight is a blessing but I'd honestly go through a window and sign no-one then the shit we signed in 2019, that nonsense set the club back years.
I could be wrong, but from what I've read, that won't make any difference. I read it that we have first dibs for a fixed sum of €30M. Those 2 scumbags could bid the GDP of a small country, we'd still get him for €30M.So what if Cardoso has the season of his life and Chelski and Woolwich bids £100m for him
At last I get it , it’s all risk management. The hotel , property, concerts , NFL and go kart track are a hedge in case we are an unsuccessful team . City , Chelsea, Woolwich , Liverpool and United fans deep down are very unhappy with their all in on football glory over the last 25 years .
We hedged our failure , you’ll never sing that
like who? who have we risked in letting go?
