So the problem with the Arsen is purely the bank and the money transfer? Or will a work permit be a problem too?

probably both, plus the FA signing off on a 'dirty Russian' (not dirty as in corrupt for this player, obviously, just that he is a Russian, and in today's' climate they are like jews under Hitler to the NATO world)

Let's not change the narrative with PSG. For years they've spent ridiculous sums of money chasing a dream to win the Champions League so to say we're criminally mismanaged compared to PSG I think isn't right.

again, remove the 2 OTT buys (Neymar, Mbappe)

add in Nuno Mendes (great buy)

look at the long term net spend

other than those 2 huge buys

it is not like they went completely batshit cray at all

their big (£40m and up) buys were

Mbappe £162m

Neymar £200m

and then

Hakimi (grrrr) £59m

Icardi (semi bust) £45m

Di Maria (superb buy) £57m

David Luiz (but only cost them around £15m net spend due to us stupidly buying him back)

Cavani (superb buy) £58m

 

they only paid

£28m for Marquinhos

£38m for a 27yo Thiago Silva

£11m for Verratti

£19m for a prime Zlatan

£5.4m for Meunier

£7.2m for Blaise Matuidi

£9m for Lo Celso (more than doubled their money)

No doubt they've made some good signings amongst too, but some of them are going back 10 years. At the time £38m was still big money for a centre back when they bought Thiago Silva, and the Marquinhos buy was also big money at the time for a largely unproven young player. Both worked out multiple times over, similar to Verratti and Zlatan amongst others. 

But going back over the last 10 years, Chelsea could similarly pin up some incredible signings - Hazard, Courtois, Azpilicueta, Kante, Diego Costa, Fabregas, etc

It's that lure for PSG to go for the big name that can be marketed. Can they move away from that model and look for something ultimately more sustainable. That will remain to be seen.

I wonder if the club is at least reconsidering the CR7 situation. To buy a striker who will be out for who knows how long when we need him desperate RIGHT NOW just feels silly.

Give me Zaha.

Zaha, Sterling, Broja front three.

Don’t know how much truth there is to it, but I’m seeing people on Twitter saying Auba won’t even be ready to play until after the World Cup? If so, wtf is the point in us signing him now?

bye bye wee Billy

perhaps put a buy-back in, but I am not arsed over this TBH

I think he may end up being a flash in the pan, so overhyped because he had a good game v Pool and, no doubt, because he is a sweaty

time will tell

he looks potentially like a real gem

lefty too

 

Looks good yeh. I’m generally a big fan of these Slavic players , I know they didn’t always work out for us (shevchenko). But they’ve got a good mentality and talent. I’d load up on them for sure.
