    I think checks and balances, and other Republicans have made him rein back as the markets were in freefall

    Seems like Delap is also going off the table. Something like Gyokeres to Arsenal, Delap to Man U, Isak to Liverpool and Jonathan David to Chelsea could happen

    🟡João Felix has been offered to Galatasaray the player will leave AC Milan at the end of the season and has already been linked with Galstasaray in the past. Joao Felix has also been following Galatasaray on Instagram for some time, so he at least seems to have sympathy for the club. (via@_samiyenhaber) 🔵According to journalist Christian Falk: Chelsea are interested in Konstantinos Karetsas and are already in contact with his advisor. Chelsea are also prepared to pay the €40 million demanded by GENK to secure the "wonderkid" Konstantinos Karetsas. Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Bologna, Udinese, Dortmund and Bayern have been scouting the Greek international for some time. 🔴Chelsea handed Jamie Gittens transfer green light as 'movement' made for Borussia Dortmund star. Chelsea have received an update on Borussia Dortmund star Jamie Gittens amid reports of a potential return to Stamford Bridge. The forward attended academies at Chelsea FC Reading and Manchester City and has risen to prominence in 2024/25, mainly through his performances in the Champions League. Gittens scored his first two goals in Dortmund's 3-0 victory over Club Brugge in September. Gittens has been with the German club for nearly five years since leaving Manchester City's academy in September 2020. After spending time in Dortmund's youth system, Gittens has gone on to reach a century of competitive appearances for the senior side, contributing G/A 17/12. (via@Bild)

    they bought players who were clearly going to be world class (for the most part) or already were (at least IMHO) or at minimum were rock solid It is why I said PSG was the death of Vesper's wish list examples: Gianluigi Donnarumma (signed on a free when he was 22yo) Matvey Safonov (would be our best GKer if we had him atm) Willian Pacho Nuno Mendes Achraf Hakimi Joao Neves Vitinha Khvicha Kvaratskhelia Bradley Barcola Désiré Doué Ousmane Dembélé Gabriel Moscardo (out on loan atm) Hugo Ekitiké (has exploded in value at Frankfurt, the one stupid sale they did lately) Xavi Simons (from PSV by way of Barca, sold to RB Leipzig for a huge profit) Warren Zaïre-Emery is a PSG youth product

    Our hierarchy are probably now looking to current PSG as our blueprint. Sold or let go of all their huge name superstars and brought in a bunch of young, hungry talents who are all blossoming into a world class unit together. A team that can grow together over a long period. We can almost 100% rule out signing the like of Osimhen because we still won’t go near his wage demands. Or anyone else in that upper echelon. We simply won’t be a club that goes for ready made stars any longer. What we WILL and have already done is spend insane money on teenaged talents in hopes that some will turn into the next world class superstar. We may not like the strategy but it IS a strategy. The issue I and most of us have is that we desperately need to supplement these young talents with proven quality in specific positions which this board has refused to do. Buy all the young talents you want everywhere else, but at striker, CB, and keeper we HAVE to bring in proven players who are 25+ if we have even a prayer of taking a big step forward next season.

    It was but I think now it is abundantly clear we have to go for this type of forward signing as opposed to a Delap or Jackson profile of player - young, bit of potential, needing room to grow yet. Same with a CB and a GK. Maybe even a left winger… If that means we have to spend a bit more on salary and risk it, then we have to do that. We need some guys who are proven and going to deliver from day 1. They genuinely tend to want bigger salaries and the very good one’s have plenty of options so if we want to get players of this ilk and ever become a top top team, then we need to bite the bullet eventually. Just look at that DailyMail article above this post, this is going to be the case for every elite player/elite youngster when we have real competition for them. Agree on Isak but generally think he will be waiting for a Real Madrid/Barcelona. Unless Liverpool throw a fortune at Newcastle in the summer if they sell Nunez to Saudi. This project 2030 and transfer approach from BlueCo is going to continue to kill this clubs chance of ever becoming a regular trophy winning side again IMO.

    and this is from an owner who signed off (with the Dodgers), along with the other owners, on a 10 year contract for 700m usd for one player (Ohtani) who turned 30 years old 6 months later (the largest total contract in sports (all sports) history at the time, and the only one now larger is only 65 million usd more, (Juan Soto with the New York Mets), BUT it is for 15 years, so far less per season)
  16. Vesper
    Mendes my number one LB want for ages zero chance we will ever get him, at least not for years

    That was the rationale for many of our woeful big money forward signings though. They all hampered us for years afterwards and were very difficult situations to get out of. At the risk of going through this entire debate again, it is very possible (perhaps even probable) we will just end up with a very expensive player who doesn't do a lot for us, and end up in an even worse situation than we're in now. And then we will look back and condemn the sporting directors for blowing everything on a player with one elite season in his career, persistent injury problems, and who's main motivation is openly and transparently exclusively about maximising his wealth. I think the argument for someone like Delap is not that they might be able to do it in 2-3 years but that a guy who scores 12 PL goals (so far) for Ipswich, massively outperforming his xG scoring from basically nothing, if placed in a team that creates way more opportunities he maybe can already do a 20 PL goal season. And at a much lower risk to our ability to succeed over the next few years if it goes wrong. From the expensive options, Isak would be my pick, at least he has shown he can do it in PL and there is something to be said for the strategy of aggressively going after elite PL players as they emerge no matter the cost (a strategy that back in time did Man Utd very well, and more recently Man City did really well).

    Insane rally in the market. Still like I said in perspective this pull back was good as we are insanely higher from 2008 financial crisis, as well up from Covid high.
  28. TheHulk
    Look at the talents they've collected in 2 years and compare it to most of our junk which we also spend more, crazy how these 2 wankers Winstanley and Stewart are still in a job.
  29. nyikolajevics
    "Adeyemi is a black Mudryk" definetly caught my eyes.
