Wages + transfer fee aside, doubt he’d come to a club where it’s fans racially abused him. A genuine mystery who comes in the attack. Dembele still possible hes not exactly going to say that when a phone is pointing right at him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he’s holding out for a lucrative offer from Barca I can only imagine what his wages will be, plus signing bonus. Which again makes this move very concerning.

Bremer for me is a big risk coming from a small club. If Liverpool thought like that they would never gotten mane. Sometimes you need to take risk and this is a much better risk I like to take then the risk we took on lukaku. Worth it for me.

If not, and it seems very unlikely that the club would allow this to become public if it is true, then there is nothing to base your accusation on. kounde or not we still passed up on a million of defenders when we need at least 2 anyway. So the point stands. Also if it were TT's preference, why is the deal not sealed already? either way comes down to board incompetence laura90, Blue Armour and Boycie 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which culminated in the disaster Lukaku signing. People here are harping on about new owners like we need their wallet or something. The people in charge of recruitment are still the same. That's the reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll wait, since it's still way before preseason, but I won't pretend it's all fine after their recent track record. Given how poorly they handled Rudigers and Christensens contract situation, they have a lot to make up for. And acting slow, while other clubs snap up targets does not. My personal opinion is that we don't need a lot more to compete for top 4 this season. But we absolutely need new CBs and we should be close to signing one.

I think Rudiger was going regardless, RM is much bigger pull than Chelsea and a massive pay day for him. For rudi that was a win win.

laura90 556 Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Keyboard warriors on here wouldn't waste 200 mill on Lukaku blocking us signing players for the years to come. Keyboard warriors from Chelsea fans wouldn't be spending entire summer transfer windows trying to offload half of the squad that ono one wants because they are overpriced below average players on insanely high wages , trying to generate money for the next signing. Bakayoko, Mitsu, Drinkwater, Rahman, Zappacosta, Barkley and many many more wouldn't be signed by keyboard warriors. We didn't know who they were when they were signed. Same old story on here. We have about forty players on our books and only 30% are first team material. Like previous years ( bar 2020 when we got out from transfer ban and sold our talisman for big money) we are waiting to offload players first to generate funds. Which will be tricky because the only youth players we can sell are the ones we need in the team. As year before. When sometime in late August we find out that we have unsellable assets, including our record signing, we will loan some midfielder and central back on deadline day. In attack we will get Broja. In midfield Conor and Ampadu. Or Gilmour? Or somebody on loan. In defese Colwill and somebody for free or on loan. I have a sneaky felling feeling those owners will wait for that list of players being reduced from 40 to 20 with nice income before they make big signing. In the meantime they will find themselves in shock when we miss out on CL spot and in couple of years our revenue drops by 50%. These were writings on the wall when 200 mill was spent on Lukaku instead of midfielder, wingback and winger. Too many disastrous signings from too many years are catching up with us. We still have false sense of security. CL spot. When we spend next year fighting for that fourth place, and miss out, we will know better where we stand with these owners. My two cents.
