Well, in the non footballing world, Covid fucked up the supply chains helping to drive inflation, as did war crim Putie Poot with his Ukrainian adventureneering.
Also, and more germane to football world, the top 0.1% have gained several trillion in net worth, at least until recently with the stock markets going into a spin.

Zaha would be a good buy.

I really, REALLY wanted Wilf like 2-3 years ago when we were linked with him. He’s still highly effective and hasn’t really dropped his level at all but he’s 30 in a couple of months. Much like giving Auba a 3 year deal, giving Wilf 3 years or maybe even more is very risky.
At this point in the window, though, I wouldn’t say no to another PL ready attacker who is a terror in the open field and is direct as hell. 

I really like the look of this Zacharyan kid we’re heavily linked with. Despite being a teenager he looks good enough to come here and contribute in the first team now. Already playing at one of the bigger Russian clubs so has experience. 
Wonder what the plan is for him. Looks too good to drop into our youth setup. 

We have a free run at him this summer and it’s one of those cases where a top talent dreams of playing for Chelsea. If we waited and he had another great season there would’ve been many other big clubs after him. Most notably PSG. And then with a bidding war he would’ve cost even more than this already high price we’re paying.

hold my beer

Send Borja on loan maybe…

Why? Is Gvardiol supposed to be better than Fofana? 
I don't agree. As long as Fofana has fully healed from his leg break I'd say he's currently the better player of the two and they're both still equally young and developing. Fofana is already settled in the PL and will probably settle quicker.

In what way is Gvardiol any more proven?

Or Gvardiol might have a season not so great and a year from now no top club would even want him. The same happened with that Lacroix dude or whatever his name was, last year he was all the hype and this year he's already forgotten.
At least Fofana's proven himself in two countries already, including EPL.

Lukaku as well.  

Same, probably my most hated team of all (the fact that their fans are insufferable deluded clowns for the most part doesn’t help lol)…
They didn’t impress me today, decent 15-20 mins at the start but pretty poor after that, I don’t think they’re better than us.
 

Think Arse have been pretty shit today. Started really well in the first 15 minutes but then looked poor. Palace mistakes for both goals.

Saliba looks a real good player. Fucking hate Arsenal.
They haven't even been that good tonight. 
Average at best but Crystal Palace have been poor in attack.

Arry Redknapp is alright. Proper old school plus if it wasn't for him, we may never had seen Frank bless us with soo many good moments.

170 million spent so far and Todd still want Fofana, De Jong and maybe a striker (Aubameyang?) 
Now THAT'S an exclamation mark. And they said Chelseas big days are over 🤣

80millions pounds and he is our player 

Then you do think he's lying. 😀

Don't see any reason for Harry to lie, no skin in this for him.

Didn't sound to me like he was misrepresenting what he heard. It's only a matter of whether his ManU contact gave an accurate assessment of the situation.

Update on Levi Colwill. To be clear: it’s a straight loan to Brighton until June 2023, there’s NO buy option included. 🚨🔵 #BHAFC
Colwill is already in Brighton at the training center, while Marc Cucurella contracts are being checked then signed by Chesea. https://t.co/qUImIg9pZk

Cucurella is a sublime signing, Colwell  is good but he ain't ready yet. 
Not a chance he is getting in that back line. The bench is no good for him, playing at Brighton is.
Now De Jong, Fofana and a striker...nice meal great food

Good job it's not your money then init pal. BTW that food u bought other week forget it don't do that again to expensive them jeans your wearing? Take um back to expensive oh oh wait that house u live in would be cheaper in Iraq mate u well over paid.
