I think they've learned via the LIV stuff with golf they just can't bulldoze their way into buying sports etc. We are a small fish in a large ocean of investments. They are doing a similar strategy now with cricket as with football I would say.

Nope. They just don’t want to keep losing money and PSR is a way for them to limit their spending. It’s only Villa and Chelsea who seem determined to invest at a crazy rate for a sustained period of time. We don’t. Forest have slowed down.

Paralysis as a service

Whereas their signings don't need to step aside as no other club are interested in them. It's going to be great seeing their meltdown When the season starts and the realism hits home

For me it's more the fact that they've always been in danger of a PSR punishment but then they do some dodgy shit, get away with it, then spend another couple of hundred million with absolutely no consequences. The PL seem happy enough to let them work away at it while putting the squeeze on everyone else. The whole thing is a complete farce. Just another window of Chelsea doing whatever they want.

OK, you seem like a nice chap. Hopefully you arent too depressed come September.

Chelsea literally don’t need a scouting team, just let teams like us do the hard work then swoop in

Don't need to, just wait for us to agree fees then match it and add on a few extra £'s in wages and done.

My thoughts on it exactly. I think it was more the suggestion that we might start to play with a link man between the midfield and attack. It is what many think has been lacking in certain games, myself included. But then again, the money involved seemed steep and I'm not sure £60m on him would have been the best use of our limited funds. Especially when we have positions in the current starting XI that need addressing more urgently. Just to echo what everyone else has said. If you want to join Chelsea, then good luck. I don't think any club needs that kind of personality in their squad.

Calm down Pep.

What? How do we know any of this?

As much as Pope had some stormers including the Cup Final I’m much happier now we’ve got some real competition. All these top teams have a keeper who can pass the ball out and sweep up at the back, think this might let us play slightly higher at times, alongside a centre back with pace could really give us a new dimension.

"TRAFFORD ONLY WANTS CHELSEA. DECISION MADE."

Chelsea have 100% made a play for him this month, but for once a player has not been swayed by them.

People can mock how Chelsea do things, but they've won everything there is to win in the last 10 years, are offering more money, and have a greater geographical appeal, but any player who backs themselves and goes there over us is to be ridiculed? Seems a little silly to me! I couldn't care less that he, Delap or whoever else wants to go to Chelsea or any other club over us, we'll just go buy someone else instead who will very likely be a huge success, just like every other major signing has been under the current management.

So have countless other players, rumours mean fuck all unless an actual bid has been made. As I said jog on

Think it’s how he’s not really made a step forward since his Burnley days. I wanted to see more from him last season, but he kept making wrong decisions so there’s probably enough there to scare off some sides if Southampton are wanting £25m+. May well develop strongly over coming seasons, but I’d understand why Prem clubs are not sold on him right now.

Its a fucking disgrace. We're fucked though because somehow we seem to have a collection of apparent football fans cheering it on.

OK, whatever. You seem to know better than anyone on this Earth that we have never been after DCL, although we were linked all through last summer AND he even has his own topic right here because of all the rumours!

Welcome Hugo Ekitike on an 8-year contract. Farewell another £80m.

I think he will be a great signing but we already have a good keeper in Pope so it wasn't the most urgent area we needed reinforcement. I think someone to rotate with Isak is a bigger priority, but can only hope that will come at some point in this window.

Honestly that looks so average to me.

At what point do Chelsea bid £300m for him?
