I don't expect us to buy much of anything. 

Well maybe another Zapocosta.

I got a serious question here, it's is there actual value in the transfer market anymore? I mean look at the sums of money being thrown around for slightly above average players??? VanDijk? Lukaku?? Pogba??? Mbappe??? I'm hearing Coutinho will go for 100m too? It's just madness!

I'm struggling to find a decent price for anyone so maybe the best thing for Chelsea to do is exactly what we've been doing? Grabbing a few younger, less hyped players like Bakayoko, like Ampadu, like maybe Bailey, and allow Conte(who I think is the best manager in the world at managing a budgetary squad) do his thing. I just don't want to look like Utd... a team that spend loads of cash and could have gotten more with lesser names.

 There are still several players that have decent buyout clauses or are close to running out of contract (Meyer, Benard, Shaw, Vrij, Goretzka & Asamoah to name a few) that could add to our squad. We just aren't in a position (something I'm happy about) to get into bidding wars for X, Y or Z.

 

Fees will keep rising & become more ridiculous as long as PSG, City, Utd and the big two in Spain can spend freely. A transfer cap/salary cap needs be introduced sooner rather than later.

Roman’s arrival in 2003 excited a lot of interest. Anything about him, or about Chelsea was fascinating to the media. Back then I was posting on the now defunct BBC fans forums. They invited Chelsea fans to apply to write an opinion piece about the club. My application was selected.

Among the thoughts I submitted was the hope that Roman’s spending would threaten the established clubs to such a degree that they’d be forced to accept an American style spending cap. Of course I reckoned without the pathetic weakness of Michael Platini. I always felt he wasn’t bright enough to be head of European football. Something he proved by being easily manipulated into the horrible FFP nonsense which, of course, is the exact opposite of ‘fair’. Maybe one day we’ll get something better but I’m not holding my breath.

Did you just say Pogba and Mbappe are slightly above average?
Mbappe is top 10 in the world and 19 years old. Lol

I did. I'm not one for the hype machine. Mbappe might become a fantastic player but no way in hell is he worth 163m and further he hasn't done anything to justify he's a top 10 player for me. Potential? Sure.

Pogba is way overrated and so is his enormous contract and wage packet. If you take away the hype is he really that great? Debatable I guess.

crazy market 

[Unionjack 7,532]

I was wondering just how long it would take for the Dave to RM malarky to start

Real Madrid ready to swoop for three Chelsea stars including Eden Hazard

REAL MADRID want to sign Thibaut Courtois and Cesar Azpilicueta as well as Eden Hazard from Chelsea, according to reports in Spain.

The difference is the value in the market, I just don't think it exists now.

Sorry my brains on go slow for awhile and I dont understamd

We was known for spending lots of money for players for quite awhile With hindsight some of them was well overpriced (or they just didn't gel with us for whatever reason)

Personally I dont mind paying over the value IF we need that certain player. Every player we buy whether hes world class or from a lesser English league is a gamble.

Mbappé’s not worth that now but he will be very soon. Guy’s insane.

I think we should knight him in the New Years honours list. And I know it was only last Dec he signed a new 3 year contract but I do think e could give him a few more quid in comparison to what we pay some for their services.

Transfer window has been open for 2.5 hours now.  Stupid board need to pull their finger out.

Just kidding.

Happy New Year to you guys in Europe, Africa, and Asia.  The Americas to come.  Hope everyone has a great 2018.

[Unionjack 7,532]

Do you think that it has helped us in any way that we have seemingly slid under everyones radar this season? We dont seem to be a danger to anyone either football wise or in the transfer window.

I just watched the live Transfer show on Sky. The ONLY time our name was mentioned was Willy Caballeros contract expiring and will be on a free!!

Sweet Fanny adams about any incoming/outgoing players! Diddly squat! More concerning the 2 North London clubs and Dippers.

I dont know whether to be happy or really pissed off.I've always thought there was nothing like bad publicity football wise and if the media were talking about a club it brought interest from other players and gets them to ponder what if................?

Am I on my own in this thinking?.

We'd be so dumb to not sign Robben. Give us our romance back. Go for old goldies; genuinely believe we'd blow every team away with him playing for us, even out of position in our 5-3-2.

 

How many are available on a pre-contract now?

With the way our windows have gone lately we'll probably be saying that on closing day..
