Yep, worst fears coming to reality. I have made the prediction, that he will be a bigger upgrade than Martinelli. I get they wanted to get rid of the wage bill but have a feeling they will come off better with this deal.

I think the player who'd be a big upgrade over Martinelli is long gone, but he might improve them just enough.

I'm honestly very surprised by the lack of movement by Newcastle. I think they need another 3 attacking players to even start thinking competing at the top.

We shouldn’t be upset with Osimhen himself at all. Be upset with the club’s strict new structure if anything. Imagine you’re earning £250-300k and Chelsea are offering you maybe half that. That’s a hard wage cut to take I would think. If it was just a slight cut down to £200k it might be a good compromise but it doesn’t even sound like we went near that.

We as Chelsea fans need to come to grips with the fact that we will no longer be able to go for the already established stars that are already on big wages. We can only go for up and coming future stars who are on low wages to whom £120k per week is a huge raise for them.

Amazing..

So Osimhen is insanely angry at Napoli but at the same time he doesn't want to accept the contract proposal from us.

Now, be mad at yourself and accept to sit in the stands and watch Papa Conte take care of Lukaku.
You can't eat the cake and keep it at the same time.

Bang average player, happy we didn't blow our load on this guy, we're buying a lot of garbage as it is no need to get another one.

It's obvious at 150k was without incentives with them and CL he would earn more but that Nigerian cunt wanted to secure the bag without any performance related bonuses.

I don't understand this narrative about him being a money grabber. If that was the case, he'd be off to Saudi, not Toney.

An established player isn't going to take a paycut unless they were on crazy wages to begin with (I'm quite sure Lewy took one when joining Barca).

You referring to Williams?

Sterling suits Arsenal's system a lot more than ours. I am actually annoyed we have done this deal. He is slept on buy a lot of people but as stated I rate him and believe the one team he suits in a glove is Arsenal's.

Agreed about Newcastle. Surprised they put so much effort into Guehi and did not get another midfield or attacker. Really surprised.

[Mário César 1,342]

about sancho, i believe he does better things than mudryk.

I don't know if he's better than sterling, but he's had 6 good months with dortmund and doesn't have the salary that sterling has and I believe he'll do no worse than sterling and no better than mudryk  

not to mention that the buy-out clause is low.

sell sterling next year and get rid of mudryk

150 sounds bad, but 150 + say 30k goal bonus isn't that far from 200. Only problem is you actually have to get up and perform instead of larping Lukaku on Instagram. Not like you need to look around payday loans earning 150k pounds per week anyway.

I won't be surprised if crazy player wages will slowly fade away from football in next few years

[Vesper 30,305]

glad we did not cave to that cunt Osimhen's extortionate wage demands

 

[Vesper 30,305]

hope he chokes on the sand

[Vesper 30,305]

cannot believe we did not grab a CB

[Vesper 30,305]

assholes!!!

[Mário César 1,342]

what surprises me is how so much time was wasted on VO knowing that he wouldn't lower his salary

complete waste of time

the idea of getting rid of chalobah has a lot to say about it.

i liked some things about this market, but others not so much.

[mkh 627]

Jadon Sancho and João Félix were both willing to oblige with our wage structure…

Because they trust AND believe in this Chelsea Project.

Osimhen and Olise

Yup, nothing to cry about. Not really a world beater player expecting twice of what Palmer makes, refuses the move otherwise having zero real option to play high-level football otherwise. And people expect him to care or fight for the badge later? Delusional.

Another Sterling material avoided.

Nah sorry, I wrote this before, but this is a fast rolling thread.
I meant that Sterling's dedication to football isn't the same and that makes him short of the elite footballer he once (IMO) was. Still, he may get enough motivation to given them a few good performances, which would still help them. @Pizyand I were agreeing that Martinelli is very inconsistent.

Yeah Newcastle is bizarre with such a mundane squad for a nouveau riche.
