Like stockpiling chickens

Who tf is Ângelo? Assume we'll have to wait 5 years to get a work permit for him, if we ever get one at all? Does he look insane in some kind of data someone can find?

[Mário César 1,232]

buying one or another player with potential is fine, but we have bought quite a few and I don't understand the point of spending so much money on them

So this Angelo is a done deal for 15m.

Couldt we have gone for Arda Guler instead? A proper talent?

he wants to play and not for strasbourg is my guess.

Because young Brazilian talents if developing goes to plan, can bring in millions. Think of them more as a side business.

Yeah like Piazon, Kenedy and the other Brazilians that brought us a lot of money right?

Emm 2021 seems like another era. The Ukraine war changed so much, I have to stress it again, Chelsea is a completely different club now. Its like Germany ante WW2 and post WW2. 

Pep on the other hand always joined a team that was top of its country before he joined. He never joined a struggliung club or a club in decline like Chelsea was for the last years, or United after Ferguson. I will always rate Mourinhos titles higher than Peps. 

Not true.

Barcelona finished 3rd and needed a rebuild and City in 15/16 were on a similar points to us after the first few games.

Also since he's left Bayern they've sacked three managers because they were on course to do the supposedly impossible and not win the league with them.

Looks bang average in his youtube clips. Just highlights of him losing the ball over and over.

so we will lose a bunch of cash on him and others but not pay higher wages for someone we need 

[Mhsc 1,093]

Interesting, not every player we're thinking about is young AF then

Do you only read what you want to? Did you miss the entire if developing goes well?

Kessie would be an interesting signing. Not sure he’s overly convinced in Spain but his physical profile and tenacity could be useful in midfield. Think he had a good spell at Milan. Barca are expecting Saudi’s to offer big cash for him though so lets see what happens.

Why the fuck are we going after another young winger also? I swear this mob of technical directors and footballing people we’ve hired have a hard on for turning us into Southampton. Or Leipzig or somebody of that ilk.

We need to get this window right. And that means getting good quality players who can contribute right away. If we have another window where we piss money away on kids for other clubs, expensive projects and continually beat around the bush instead of prioritising what we need then we could struggle.

Its not important what happened after him, but what happened before him. The fact is that the years before, Barca was competing for the title, City was competing for the title, Bayern just won the treble before he joined! Maybe these teams needed some rebuild within the team, but Im talking about the clubs. All these clubs were stable, all these clubs have been champions within some years before he joined, all these clubs were competing every year. The fact that Pep only won 1 CL in the last 10 years with Bayern and City is not a good performance tbh. 

On the other hand we are not competing for the league title for 6 years now. 

Pep always was in a comfy position when he joined his clubs. Hes not doing wonders. Wonders would be to make United champion again after SAF, making Chelsea champion again after 6 years, winning the CL with clubs like AC Milan after 16 years. To transform a club from mediocrity to being world class.

Knew another team would come in for Caicedo
