Chelsea banned for TWO transfer windows

I hope the appeal doesn't go through. I can't see us buying anyone who's actually going make us better in January anyways.

What we need is a Mbappe/Van Dijk level signing next summer, not another Drinkayoko/Cuadrado

Given our squad depth right now. I’m not sure if we really need to buy in January. Maybe a striker if Giroud does leave. But yeah, I’m really fearful of us buying duds again after a peaceful summer!

We can always make a deal like Pulisic with someone like Sancho for example to avoid the competition in the summer.

Getting the right players in is one thing, Marina willing to spend quality money is a whole another matter. She will likely take one look at the squad and convince herself we are set for years......I hope she pulls through.

We need an Alonso replacement, a Pedro one and we def need a quality striker. Someone like Dembele cuz there aint much else unless we go Piatek etc. We should easily and I mean easily have 250m to spend....and thats being nice.

I think a quality defender is doable in January. I think to get a quality striker or winger, the creativity shown in the Pulisic deal might be necessary. When I say quality, someone that is producing right now that you would want for more than 3 seasons.

Think the Pulisic deal was a bit of an anomaly because circumstances fell into place for us. Otherwise, other clubs would be doing those kind of deals every January etc.

Also, those names that Matt Law mentioned, I'm not even sure how many of them are actually obtainable in January, if any at all. They all look more like summer transfer targets and furthermore, 150 million is likely only to get us 2 players max from that list (for the love of god, no Zaha please!).

There is no point buying for the sake of it unless things go wrong. January always a bit meh and overpriced. 

[OneMoSalah 8,883]

Zaha and Ake signings would be a waste of time and money I feel. If we want wingers and a central defender go for top quality. Simple as. Okay Zaha maybe be a better fit than Ake as hes at a higher level but hes hardly an outstanding player that will get much better. Hes at a age and level now where he will more than likely remain at a similar level for the next 2 or 3 seasons.

Also doubt we will honestly get Sancho, so perhaps Mikel Oyarzabal is a worth while alternative.

November 20th is the date we make our appeal. FIFA is really going hard against us,

I did sort of. I fell Monday night, bleed terrible, spent 7 hours in the Emergency Room. Had such a severe concussion that there was a noticeable delay in when I heard what someone said and when I could respond. Have been laid out for a few days. Today is my first day back to work. Concussions do weird things to the mind. Almost like you are aware you are not processing information but there is nothing you can do about it.
