How much did Ipswich spend last summer ?

Title change At least we tried…(maybe)

Great news. Lets actually get some value for our money by shopping in continental Europe instead.

Isn't it the opposite? Chelsea customers hate the club dealing with him because he always extracts maximum value from them.

The only thing giving me hope is that his info is only coming from the Chelsea end. He hasn't yet said that Pedro has chosen Chelsea. Sadly history suggests we know which way this goes.

I have a feeling we could get much more with that price. And then just buy him next summer from Chelsea for £25m.

Dalglish had a great eye for a player. Clouded by us being skint when he came in so we had to hire a few oldies but he's signed some great players over the years. Carroll would be viewed a lot differently without the injuries.

Is he going to accept less than we offer?

Need to change the title tbh, sounds like we are nowhere near. Romano saying this morning that Chelsea advancing

"On about", "but if","that may". Do you not think there's a reason its designed the way it is, like the champions league ? To maintain the status quo and stop the formation of a breakaway "super league".

I wouldn’t say that is representative of Chelsea fans, honestly despise social media platforms for that.

Exactly this. As long as the gullible & needy keep clicking and sharing the lies, then journo’s will keep pumping out the lies Just ignore the Twatter and the clickbait articles. Don’t click on them Because when you do, you’re simply feeding the beast and the cycle continues Bobby says… Relax, don't do it When you want to go to it Relax, don't do it When you want to click

More he’ll be delighted as Chelsea will comfortably pay £60m+, which we were clearly reluctant to do (and rightly so). Jokes that for both of the striker options, Chelsea have signed them Not sure who we turn too now, as Delap and Pedro are so different it shows it’s an evolving landscape of who we are targeting. Like do we now go for a lower price ST and big on CM? As Pedro I could’ve seen being more towards CM whilst ticking striker box, whilst Delap was an opportunistic low cost ST and maybe then getting a low cost CM for £25m (a la Ramsey).

I do feel like we need 4 minimum but we could easily do two in the last couple of days of the window. The issue is a simple one, we are losing out to players because clubs with more financial clout are blowing us out the water. There's 2 major international tournaments that have been going on, which means many transfers are on a standstill. You've got footballers and their families on holidays and you have the PSR deadline which can affect other clubs movement, which has a ripple effect. Just to add some positivity, there's been loads of players we've missed out on the past, who've ended up tanking when going elsewhere, Mount, Maddison, Lingard, Coutinho and so on. We will sign Trafford in the next fortnight, we will have someone else on their way soon after, that sets us up to attack the rest of the window.

All the Chelsea fans not impressed about it in the comments.

Yeah I never ever believed that. Then people saying he dived on purpose when he was trying to get Krul(?) sent off because he didn't want to score. I think that was all just protecting their mind from the reality that he wanted to leave his boyhood club for Liverpool. He went for the bag and the bigger team, like most do, and it was naive to think otherwise.

Yep, but does feel that this season gone it was a case of drain out all the last of we could from this squad. Needs some serious fresh faces, talking 4/5 strong faces to give us a kick because some will be drained.

Wasn't last summer supposed to be the worst window ever? We literally went on to win a cup and qualify for the CL. I think we'll be cush with only a couple of quality additions this time round

Must be an easy job being a Chelsea scout.

Tony Bloom is a glorified Chelsea cheerleader, he’s going to bend over as soon as they’re involved.

I dont understand the constant negativity around our transfers. Our transfer record has been very good and our results on the pitch fantastic. I'll bet you that we sign more than 2 good players.

Be laughs when he signs for them for £35 million

Chelsea bothering with scouting or are they just going after other sides reported targets?

Might speed up the process of finding out what an acceptable fee is…
