We are not that far away from zero net spent in the same period. Man. Utd also over 250m pounds net spend in this period. 2019 is only a three year period, normally it would be run on five years, that that would be Summer's 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 accounted together. Additionally, bar last season, the club have run things pretty tight. Cannot see them going crazy again with another mega spend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vybz Kartel 1,613 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 I understand we have to sell but we need to bring in Tchoumani and Kounde this week. We need to give them enough time to play and build chemistry with the rest of the team. Some of our problems last season were due to lack of a pre season for our new signings. Sell the cast offs after buying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea No chance to sign either Lewandowski or Lukaku Hence, Chelsea are all in on Haaland Dortmund yet to receive an offer or be formally approached Only a crazy offer would tempt Dortmund (not even 150 million Euros would make them budge). That’s quite mad, I mean, from my own perspective I thought £130m was enough. But seeing the figures around, including fees and such, mental. But we are in this position of our own making to be honest, it is what it is. We are not going to be in a stronger position than we are now, as UCL winners, same as 2012. I said this ages ago, much like others, do we have any concerns with Tuchel? No, we are all concerned with the board doing the right thing and backing our winning manager.

Irrespective of that....there are many ways to skin a cat...the fact that no world class striker in the market...the fund that will price Haaland away is fucking insane no club I repeat no club will drop that kind cash especially by January he will be available to go for significantly less price...

Dortmund know what they have got and have a history of turning down money when they know one year down the line they will never get as much. It'll be €175m or not happening.

Jase 43,479 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 According to this from The Athletic on Lukaku... https://theathletic.com/2744923/2021/08/02/Chelsea-havent-given-up-on-return-for-romelu-lukaku/ - The club have made two bids for Lukaku so far, showing the strong signal of intent and an indication of where the club now see the chances of getting Haaland - Indications at the moment are that the club haven't given up but a deal will be difficult to complete at this point of the transfer window - Lukaku is genuinely happy at Inter and in Serie A, where he feels more appreciated than he did in the Premier League - The departure of Conte hasn't unsettled Lukaku, nor the possible sale of strike partner Martinez - If there is one club he would move back to England for, it would be Chelsea but the urge is not as strong as it was in 2017 - Club still feel they have a chance of making this happen because Inter still have issues financially - Lukaku won't push for a move back to London. Up to the club to persuade Inter to sell - One source in Italy feels Inter will sign Duvan Zapata to replace Lukaku while another source says Lukaku will stay with Martinez making way instead - It will be difficult for Inter to cash in on Lukaku, who has said he wants to stay, knowing the fans won't be in a forgiving mood - Don't be surprised if the club make a 3rd attempt for Lukaku Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe the club just rates Livramento higher and made that clear to Tino himself too. If the deal really includes a buy-back clause at a reasonable value (<20m) and the player would be happy to come back, then I don't mind the sale. Get a couple years of PL experience at Soton and if he proves good enough then buy him back, and if not then he was never going to make it at Chelsea anyway.

Pizy 18,985 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Just sign an inexpensive stopgap if we can’t get Haaland, ffs. Don’t spunk £100m on Lukaku who doesn’t even truly want to leave his Milan comfort zone. Ings perhaps. Or Griezmann on loan.
