we single-handedly funded Brighton to become the 2nd biggest spender

and look at the bottom two

Brighton treat us like their cash cow.  3 players sold to Chelsea, 200 million.

If we had been able to sell Chalobah and Broja instead of just loaning them on deadline day....what a waste of a transfer window.  The only benefit was offloading Lukaku.

and Chilwell, etc etc

• David Datro Fofana is still expected to leave Chelsea in the next days. Turkey, Greece, Portugal, Saudi and Holland among markets being explored to pick best option. Hoffenheim and Sunderland opened talks to sign Datro on Deadline Day but negotiations collapsed.

Another top talent they said.

Ângelo Gabriel is close to moving to Al-Nassr .

They want him to fill the last U21 foreign vacancy. Chelsea have rejected two offers of £21 million and £25 million. They want £33 million.

If we are serious about his development (or upping his value), then loaning to Brazil makes no sense.

Couldn't agree more.

Flamengo actually has the best striker in teh country, Pedro, who flopped in Europe (Fiorentina), but is still better than what the other sides have there. He is recovering from a hammy, but should be back soon. So, it's likely Deivid wouldn't be starting too many matches.

I'll believe it when I see him wearing the Al Nassr shirt.

If we were that serious about his development, he would have been loaned out much earlier in the transfer window, especially considering he spent last season doing nothing in the reserves and then making up the numbers on the bench.

Al Nassr seemingly have a taste for Brazilian youngsters. They want some company for Wesley.

At least we have someone to drop a few should they not turn out to be much (quite likely).

We tried offloading him to Strasbourg, it's pretty clear how much they give a fuck about his development. Hope Al Nassr comes for him as well.

Interesting to see how brutal revolving door business model Clearlake adopted here. If you think about how absurdly long likes Kenedy or Baba Rahman were here, wow, night and day.

Clearly just a profit maker. Which is still good.

No wages paid., and still turned a profit.

In one sense, the business model is good as ideally that's what you want to see, if the player doesn't fit or develop, flip them or sell them off. 

The only issue with the Clearlake approach is that they hoarded too many players in consecutive transfer windows.  Just look at the LW situation, you got Mudryk, Neto, Sancho, Sterling, Carney, even Felix all being paid from Chelsea's books this season. 

If we had a clearer plan, maybe Mudryk, Carney and a few others would be playing regularly elsewhere.

Neto and Felix are not true LWers, and Carney is an AMF/CMF, never a winger
