All this cartel talk is boring. They've had 2 years to build up a transfer list and it's literally the same targets as last year. The staff can take some responsibility. Not every day blame the cartel clubs.

By the sounds of it these guys put their Coutinho money onto Bitcoin of something, fucking hell.

Here I was thinking we'll have a blinder of a summer and last summer was just a blip It's never a dull day supporting this club like

Anthony Elanga welcome to the club

Howe could've easily said "his match fitness just isn't quite there yet" and this would be non existent. Really confused by his comments here..

What an absolutely odd thing to say from Howe here. Really?

Someone track planes right now to make sure he's not leaving

Feel bad for him why? He's rejected plenty of moves already

I honestly keep forgetting we have Osula. If we sign Wissa and already have Elanga/Murphy for the RW I suspect he'll get loaned out?

So Luke getting ahead of himself then backtracking was all on me wanting the deal to be concluded? That's what you're insinuating right?

...what

The age is a concern but his legs are not going to stop working when he turns 30 or 31, he's hardly an injury crock. If we manage to get 4-5 years out of him and he steps up when needed it'll be great business - providing of course the fee is around £30-35M.

I think he's being disrespected quite a lot on here to be honest. He's a great player.

All but done but still not agreed a fee? Right. You can take it how you want, if another journo tweeted "its all but done" you'd at least hope a fee is agreed. This is the Guehi saga all over again

Its still early but I'm a bit underwhelmed so far, like others have said its literally the same targets as last year So Mitchell got paid for absolutely fuck all then?

Literally a page before Luke said its done. I really don't understand why you stick up for Edwards etc every single time, are you close to him?

If anything this summer has really shown how clued up the local journos are. Fingers to the pulse as ever.

Just seen some of their content - he seems happy so I hope he kicks on and makes a good career for himself.

For all the crap Chelsea get, they are easily the best sellers in the league.

Still doesn't really scream value though does it?

On one hand I don't see him starting for City. On the other... £40M for James Trafford. Close to £100M on Elanga and Trafford - Yikes.

Just read that Romano makes north of a mill a year just off Twitter engagement Explains a lot tbf

Sell him and loan him back why not

Isak doesn't strike me as the type anyway. Still though. £300M when he's got one year left? Kerching.

Aye, somehow I don't think they'd have much of a chance with Ballard and O'Nien though.
