Frank should have known what to expect when Baldy placed 3 shovels against the training ground fence and asked him to take his pick.
I don't know what else Frank is going to say. He's a new employee where transfers aren't really his job, yet he's the one who has to face the media.
He's not going to have a Conte style rant two months into the job before a ball is kicked. I'd imagine he's frustrated too but he really can't be openly saying it.
Lange and Baldy get to hide behind Frank who is the public punching bag.

That is over 150m...no chance
Personally I’d take Harvey Elliott , good range of passing , gets stuck in , decent shot on him , 22 years old and not huge money , wouid hit the ground running . I’m not saying he’s the answer to all our problems , I just think he would suit our system very well and he’s up for sale so shouldn’t be difficult to get over the line .
Very true.
For me MGW and Paqueta aren't on a level with Eriksen, Dembele and Eriksen tho
They are fucking trolling us‘The right opportunity’
This fucking club
Absolutely. And let's be real, that window isn't making us a challenger to liverpool this season but it at least shows some kind of intent to catch up.
He will be very enthusiastic as he tries to rebuild his reputation somewhere else after we have destroyed it
Yeah 100% but I'm at least encouraged that Frank isn't going to publicly take the pressure off their half-arsed scams like Ange did.
Id just forget the defence for the time being. Frank's style naturally lends itself to making defences better as units than the sum of its parts.
We need to fully focus on being able to hurt other teams. 2 players needed.
Id go for paz and leao.
Im not very familiar with paz but he does look good. Younger than id want for a 10, we ideally need someone more complete now.
On leao, yes im not his biggest fan, hes lazy off ball BUT as I said defensively we will be ok. We can afford to have a player like that. Id much much rather rodrygo but thats a pipedream with these owners.

A week until Burnley and our squad depth is worse than last season
This is exactly the issue — we only seem to sign players when we think we're getting a bargain, rather than targeting who we actually need. That’s how we’ve ended up with players like Richarlison and Kulusevski, who don’t have defined roles and are more like jack-of-all-trades. It’s also why we keep ending up with so many players who feel broken or misused.So what your saying is we are the "TK Max" of the Premier league!
Take the Raya situation, for example. We were interested, but then decided he was too expensive and went for Vicario instead. It’s not necessarily about quality — it’s about cost. And now even fans have started thinking this way. How many people last season said they’d accept Werner on loan if it meant we could invest elsewhere?
You’re seeing the same pattern again with Palhinha. People are already saying, “I’d take him if it means we can spend more in other areas.” It’s like we’ve been conditioned to think like bargain hunters rather than building a balanced, competitive squad.
They'll get it.
Meanwhile, we sign players like Ndombele, Sessegnon, GLC, Richarlison, Gil etc and end up having to give them away .
Why?
I swear Chelsea are just sending money out the back door somehow to clubs to buy them.
Your Missing the most important factor - will they take £100K a week or Less............. I think if we actually broke our wage structure we would have had some more players in, its just players know they can go to other clubs and get a 50% + bump in wages
At the start of the window absolutely not but right now I'd take Billy Elliott.
He reminds me of Lamela.
Extremely left footed, dribbling style is also similar. Likes a slide tackle too.
Because we only need to sustain. We don't need to win anything or become competitive for all the fat cats to pick up their wages.
Nah.So what your saying is we are the "TK Max" of the Premier league!
We're a one off sale at Ashford Outlet.
