So ironic that in 2021 we ended up paying twice the amount that City signed Haaland for, to get Lukaku.

tragic more like

another in a long series of crazy bad buys

thank fuck the good ones panned out enough that we have now won every single real (so no preseason friendly bullshit) major possible (still contested, so no Intercontinental Cup, we would have had to win the CL in Roman's first year for a shot at that, as Porto, sans Mou (he was here at Chels, obviously), won (barely) the last one ever played, against a shit Once Caldas side, on 12 December 2004, as they won the CL with Mou in spring 2004) trophy for a European club to win, barring the brand new 3rd tier (so not desirable as you have to be poor in the League to qualify and winning it only gets you into the Europa League if you do not qualify for the CL in league play) UEFA Conference League

This type of capability is why I'm more excited by this transfer link than I am about any deal we've completed. One or two other links have been as exciting but none that we've actually completed.

Overhyped at times and no doubt the massive contract killed him. If he went to Bayern he’d of already been back in the PL playing for a bottom 10 side. Thats his consistent level just now unfortunately. Injury wouldn’t of helped too either but I think he was given too much too soon.

I've said all along that I am not willing to believe that Callum was given a contract worth a basic £6m a year and that if this was the price for keeping him we should have just taken Bayern's money instead. I still do not want to believe he is on that size of deal.

We have to go for him this week. With as shit as United look with McFred they may very well get spanked by Brentford next weekend 🤣. Then they’ll offer Frenkie £500k a week plus name Old Trafford after him in desperation.

Seriously though, it should be easy enough to speak with his agent and find out whether or not he’d be willing to join us, surely? I would really hope that he was discussed during the Alonso negotiations.

You ask that as if you're worried that the club might not have already done this but, if TT is interested, they certainly will already have done exactly that. Mind you, based on the order of priority TT gave in his post game interview yesterday, maybe he isn't interested.

I'd get all excited if we were linked with players who can pull off this kind of stuff with actual PL opponents, not with PUMAS, with all due respect. It's the everlasting problem with links other, than CL-proven players: they are magicans in their leagues, but in PL suddenly stuff is 10x faster and more physical and they are crashing the wall hard. 

Besides this, De Jong and his agency are apparently playing a hardball in terms of cash and another huge, hit or miss contract is not something we need, as previous 5 times we did were rather failure. He may be good, but the move is a delicate matter I guess.

Neto (wolves)to Chelsea. It's happening

What??

[Pizy 18,360]

Pedro Neto is definitely the sort of player we should be targeting in terms of style. Direct, super skillful, aggressive. Was excellent yesterday against Leeds.

But I’m not seeing us linked anywhere.

[Alabama 1,992]

I hope its true....

Since we miss out on Raphinha...have been hoping we get him....he is the exact profile of player similar to Chiesa we were interested in getting before...

The one constant is that he wants CL football. If that truly is the case, we have nothing to worry about in terms of competition. 

It comes to whether we want him or not.

We need players with an actual end product.

He can say CL is very important but if for instance we offer him the same ~£300k per week that we gave Sterling whilst United offer him £400k or more he may think that extra cash is more appealing than CL footy.

He's not even getting paid at Barcelona and has yet to force a move. I think that says enough.

Pedro Neto simply doesn't score nearly enough

hard pass

I prefer Zaha over 33 years old Aubameyang
