Rogers is fantastic but he would be £70-80m.
He’s so dense and tone deaf I bet he doesn’t even realise how badly he’s fucked up.
This is partly why I get agitated when people fuss over whether top quality player are 'worth' the reported fee's. Oh hes not 'worth that much', 'its too much' or thats 'risky'.
Its all nonsense. A top quality player is a top quality player, they cost money, you pay the price, you then get them signed to play.
I dont give a toss what a top quality player costs, or the numbers involved, just sign some for God's sake. Because otherwise the alternative is fuck all or dross.

But he agreed with us and we had a deal with his club.
We fucked about. Fuck Levy
But I don’t make the rules, Eze has marked his card here.
Right then, time to break out the emergency list
And the likelihood is that the stalling and slowness in signing for us was in the hope of attracting other clubs, albeit not in the manner in which it arrived.
Long term, it's probably better for us, with the pain being the pursuit more than the failure to secure.
Ange will be lucky to get another job in football. Who's incompetence do you think made us an absolute joke?Transfurs R dwifficult
Meanwhile at clubs with real owners, that get the players they need in almost straight away with difficulty
Lmao oh Ange count yourself lucky sir that you got fired from the circus, poor bastard Frank has put on the brave face now for a bit
There was no agreement .
Spin from the Club. We were still haggling.
Absolute bell ends.
Paratici was at Stamford Bridge at the weekend, does he get a free ride?
There’s just things you don’t do
Or more likely we won’t buy anyone.
Comfortably our worst ever transfer window, and given our history that is entirely unforgivable. To finish 17th, lose our main number 10 and be 12 days from the end of the window having signed two first team players (one on loan), whilst all the other serious premier league clubs strengthened beyond belief? Staggeringly inept. Oh and our main target signed a new contract after a baffling sequence of events, and our second went to our rivals following some traditional dithering. Anyone now will be our 3rd target, although given where we are in the window our 3rd and 4th targets have likely moved or are reluctant to move. So realistically 5th,6th, or even 16th target. Supporting this club under Levy provides so many days of woe the stress almost certainly does not justify the journey. Absolutely spent
It’s not bad luck, it’s incompetence.People seem to be forgetting this. All other assumed incompetencies aside, if Havertz didn't get injured then this wouldn't have happened. That bit is just very bad luck for us.
We were capable of getting him earlier in the window. We were clearly interested in a number 10 before Maddisons injury hence the MGW bid.
Even if it was Maddison’s injury that triggered the bids for Eze that happened 3 weeks ago, we could have went for him then instead of leaving the squad insanely short for the start of the season?
