What are the chances of Chelsea saving money because of the (potentially) new stadium?

Hector & Djilobodji signings were the result of a leaked Everton scout report, they were their targets. The bitter aftermath of the Stones transfer saga led to us simply deciding to fuck with Everton.

Djilobodji was a longtime target.

10-11 set us back so long, we have for the main part been winging it ever since.

Im thinking a lot about this transfer window, my conclusion on it is that the board, the club, does have a view, they look into the future and they're trying to stay on a very specific road. Its the academy and also the transfers. The question is if Mourinho is in the same mind as the board, and if he's the right manager to lead us in this road.

The primary targets we had this summer - Stones, Pogba, Baba - shows that the club want to be based on the young players who will become top players. Rob Beasley (who is an annoying bastard but he was right about everything he said this summer),

said it like one-two months ago - the club wants more of the Hazard, Oscar and Courtois signings. And i think the club is very specific about those type of targets, which makes the market so limited for us. The club doesnt want to spend too much on stop-gap signings, and until now it happend only when we were in some kind of pressure - (1) we wanted to win the title, didnt find a young player for an important role and had a special opportunity (Fabregas. And i think the main target for this position was Koke), (2) we were in a situation that we dont have any depth in the middle of a season (Cuadrado), and (3) when we started the season badly and Mourinho was no longer happy (Pedro, Djilobodji who was supposed to be Abdennour. Although he didnt chose to bring a stop-gap CM).

Mourinho said this summer "When i came back to Chelsea, Abramovich told me you have to compete for trophis, he didnt say i have to win them". The fact he chose to say that means something about the club imo. I think the club is not as obsessed to win trophies as we may think, its just that we have a manager who is obsessed to win at all cost. This quote above is not the only one, Jose talked a lot this summer about the board and 'what we want to do as a club', and from those quotes you can easily understand its not a usual approach for him to work under, and its not easy for him. But, he says he's happy with this approach. Now we'll see, according to the way he picks his line-ups, according to the way of playing, if he really can and should lead this project. For example, there is no excuses for not giving RLC a lot of playing time (if he's really that talented, i dont know) when he competes with Mikel and Ramires, and there is no excuses to keep Ivanovic on the field when we have Baba.

Maybe the board saving all the transfers funds to buy messi next summer ???

Although I am disappointed with the window I am happy we did not make the same mistake of overpaying for Willian and Cuadrado types like we did in the

past. Stop gaps should be cheap. Hopefully we can next summer spend the money we saved right now on better players.

they miscalculated how bitter and twisted a low level Spanish midfielder turned small club manager could be.

I would say this transfer window has been a success if that deal went through. Pedro,Begovic and hopefully Baba was a good pick up. there`s atleast one player coming before the window shuts I think.

I would have kept Kalas around and maybe one or two others but I put that on Jose.

perhaps a 6 or 7 out of 10 so far. not great but could have been worse.

It could be that we had some kind of assurances from Everton regarding Stones and that they've fucked us over in the last moment.
