Chelsea Transfers

[Special Juan 28,089]

We are not winning this war with the Saudi's over VO, and the good thing is we will know by end of today as we will have to step down with one day to go and the Saudi window open longer. 

I know money talks but fuck me going to Saudi, wow just wow

25m for antonio Silva? What are they smoking. 
Meanwhile we are rumoured to bid for his worse and older colleague Araujo…

What is a weakness of Araujo’s

How with any sense can you see a side turning cohesive, and still pine for a player not wanting to be here. Is it invisible, that we’re putting together a clear unison of mentality finally.

With 0 equivalent player in place. When this falls through, you go for a Gyokeres, not Toney, otherwise why aim so high with such wide pockets in the first place. Lack of planning even still. A broken clock will get some things right. We are still, well BlueCo, are still getting many things wrong. Handling of players, destinations of loanees, prices paid for. Speaking since our nice form to start the season. 
 

They aren’t suddenly competent. Lol. It’s not been a wrong outcry for years now, acknowledging that they are incompetent. No new people have arrived lol. Same people.

really harsh on Tomás Araújo

in 2 months Silva turns 21

Araújo is 22 until the end of the season

Silva had a terrible Euros, which is why his price may well drop

I have been watching Araújo game footage, and he looks quite good

I would take him over multiple CBs we have now

Taking the Saudi money out of it, which essentially is causing all the problems. As a general rule, I have zero problem with performance based contracts that we've moved to, total sense, love it. Not sure what it is now that Rom is gone but our average salary went from £200k to £60k. We all made mistakes and bad decisions in our daily lives, I do back what Clearlake are doing, we as Chelsea fans are just so spoilt and used to win now, not later, now. It's a shame don't get me wrong, those years, that spine of players we had were just purely incredible to me, but that's not today's footballer, either.

I do believe we return to champions league football, I do believe we'll make more mistakes and I do believe that we'll make catastrophic ones, however I do believe in the model, including the financial one, and I can confidently say I thought "sorry what?" When Palmer signed almost out of the blue. You hit, you miss, you hit big, you miss big, it's cyclical and it's going to take a while to move the deadwood, juggle money, so far they've found loophole after loophole.
