Of course, their board told us to piss off pretty much in not very pr-friendly language, Enzo himself publicly backed off with his will to move, yet we came back a few times, throwing more and more ridiculous money into this, way beyond initial proposal. Can't imagine City or Real engaging in such desperate activity, especially over relatively unknown and unproven player

But why do you find it humiliating, your not involved. Doesn't bother me in the slightest, never understand why fans get humiliated by stuff.

I think every fan is involved. What kind of message does such act send? Owners pretty much showed that half-anonymous player from Portuguese league is bigger than the club itself and then expect our players to fight for the badge. All criticism aside, Chelsea in it's current form gives incredible trampoline to young players who otherwise couldn't even smell stuff from the Megastore, so take it or be forgotten philosophy would be even more understandable.

Just imagine Real Madrid coming for Gallagher this window for 50 million, Boehly publicly says he doesn't care for offers from such funny little club who think big of themselves, player says he doesn't mind, he will stay and focus on Chelsea and then they end up tossing 120 million for him after 10 publicly broadcasted refusals. Absolutely ridiculous to think about it yet it's pretty much what we've done, except Gallagher is proven in PREMIER LEAGUE and Enzo had a good patch in Portugal. If we don't take ourselves seriously, no one will.

I never got an email or knock at the door a phone call for my opinion on this, no fan is involved in transfers you support the club and go to games and but the merch, that's your involvement, anything else has nothing to do with us and we have zero say, I won't be embarrassed by anything I've had absolutely no say or part in. My question to you is are you a fan or a supporter?

Those ridiculous pricetags inflate expectations, rightfully so, yet Chelsea is difficult enough to hit fire up for actually good players, not to mention alleged superstar potential, that is super hard to realize here. 

This has been a truth that somebody should write a book about.

In such literal take, yeah sure, we are not involved, same way as we are not involved in 11 passengers showing up to games.

We all have our own motivations, but after 20 or more years of supporting this club, travelling to few games when travelling to game half of Europe wasn't that easy and having way more emotional involvement into something that doesn't touch me directly I consider this thing some small piece of my life, as most of us perhaps. I don't care for results as such as they come and go, that's what sport is about, but all I expect in return for my supports is gravitas of sorts - in form of people acting appropriately. For this reason I want players to show up to every game, don't want people, who wouldn't find a job two divisions lower to be at helm here, don't want to act like a sunday league operation in terms of self respect, don't want shitfaced Barkley falling out of taxi and don't want likes of Toney, Tonali or Mutu anywhere near the stadium. If people directly involved don't care, do they deserve me doing so?

Short answer is no they don't deserve you to care, and unfortunately when owners are splashing billions in a club I suppose they are entitled to do what these please as it's theirs we don't have to agree with it but we can't stop it, it's no different than building an extensions on your house and your neighbours complaining about it because they have loved on the street longer than u have, all you think is fuck off it's my house I'll do wtf I want.

The difference is Clearlake are just the current custodians of our club. They, and all other clubs are fuck all without fans and they know it.

Speaking of crazy fees, Spuds are about to pay £60m for Dom Solanke. Absolutely bang average player.

Sadly no chance of a sell on for us but I read Liverpool will get a slice of the fee.

Very direct, very dangerous wide player. But am I mistaken or hasn’t he been injury prone these last couple of years?

[Special Juan 28,730]

We have already reached an agreement with Jorge Mendes, no issues on salary, club to club talks ongoing to get the deal done 60M

EXTREMELY injury prone. Not sure why the club keeps doing this. I like him a lot as a player, but just dont see this ending well

Jesus. That’s Wes Fofana like.

Spuds fans are in absolute meltdown, btw.  Apparently they had been working on this transfer all summer long and he was their #1 top target.
