People say we cant be fast? First rumor today and 2 hours later its a here we go

70m for someone who scored 9 goals in Serie A, on par with Tammy, less than 34 yo Arnautovic. Oh my god this striker market is rotten.

Mbappe would be on 80.000 per hour. So that must be a long session.

Klopp and Poch - brothers in pain.

We could easily double that 🤑😏

We dont know if even one of them could. Both are kids

But they were negotiating a lot. Just Atalanta arent as bitchy as Brighton 🤣

What? United is after Hojlund for months

Yes we did get our money back for Morata, but he was absolutely useless. We replaced Costa with Morata, which was a clear downgrade for a lot of money and was a huge influenc in our extremely decreased number of goals in the 17/18 season. Ampadu: another useless player, didnt strenghten the team at all Rüdiger was absolute shambles before Tuchel came. Remember that 99% of Chelseas fanbase wanted him being sold to Spurs before his Tuchel revival. His reception today is heavily influenced by his Tuchel performance, before that we was basically seen like Cucurella today Emerson was a backup, yes, but to who?? Fucking Alonso. And yes, Alonso scored a few goals but everyone knew how limited he was and that we kept him way too long. So instead of buying a LB that is actually better than Alonso we chose to just buy a mediocre backup. Not making the team any better Barkley: another player that didnt give the team anything Drinkwater Bakayoko as well Only Giroud was a useful player. We were champion in 2017, but the problems in the squad were visible, we heavily relied on Hazard. But we had a good foundation to become a dominant force in English football. But instead of actually strengthening the squad with quality buys, Marina and Emenalo in their hybris chose to just add backups and additions to the team. Only 1 player was actually useful and it was no surprise that we didnt get into top 4 in this year. It may have not been a financial disaster, but this transfer window was a turning point in Chelseas history. After this window we werent able to challenge for the title anymore.

This was Emenalo/Marina masterclass. Still the worst transfer window ever:

And this will be his coach next season:

Not that bad. Definitely something to work with.

After watching Gusto, Angelo, Santos and Casadei I give our scouting departement the benefit of the doubt, even if hes not really cheap.

Cmon, u never heard of him (just like me). So we cant judge yet. I bet a lot of people would have cried about us signing Caicedo from Ecuador 2 years ago.

Some journo on Twitter claiming this guy was Brightons replacement for Caicedo that De Zerbi mentioned 😂 Not sure if trolling but it would be too funny if true 🤣

Same age as Lavia and 1/3 the price 😂

LOL

How much have we actually spent this window on youngsters?

So no Caicedo? Hes a kid himself with only 1 year of PL football. Angelo is far more experienced than Lavia e.g

Well basically these transfers are investments for the future. If we buy him now for lets say 10m, loan him for 1-2 years, he performs well, and his value will go up. If Strasbourg would sign him now for these 10m, no way they could sell him to us for these 10m without having UEFA all over our arses. So basically the idea behind this is that we could get a player that is worth for example 30m for the 10 we initially paid. And then we can decide whether we wanna use him in the squad or sell him elsewhere to make some profit. Its nothing new really. Roman did the same with Vitesse and his famous loan army.

Probably bought for cheap and loned to them afterwards.

Sell Sterling and get him in 😏

That Mitoma guy is pure class

Yes they can loan him for 40m
