Romano saying Napoli desperate to keep Conte and are planning big investments this summer. It's all coming up Ruben for you lot.

Why wouldn't he? Nice pay bump, nice long contract. I would be floored if he said no to them.

Only way Chelsea don't give you 5m is if they reckon they can make more money on Sancho. They are massive gamblers so I wouldn't bet against them doing it, but it they had a Braincell they'd hard pass on Sancho and his massive wage. (He also doesn't fit the wage structure they have)

Ffp swap would be canny for Manchester red. Ship off Garnacho and get Kamara. Oof amazing business for them.

Garnacho to Napoli? If Conte leaves is that a thing? Reckon you struggle to shift Sancho and Rashford given the mad wages both are on (although never say never with our daft owners) Bruno F seems to be the most likely and easiest to do especially given he already said hes will to go if needed.

Record in Portugal were linking Chelsea with Gyokeres today

Your probably waiting and hoping you can shift bruno so you can bring more players in.

Not to worry, plenty of clubs love a Chelsea cast off, ourselves included

Going to piss myself laughing when they buy 2 more strikers and he sets next to tosin warming the bench.

We have to be looking at a starter imo. We really pushed our luck this season with our lack of pace at the back.

Choosing to call bullshit on his article. I'm sure our targets extend beyond those which id expect of Sunderland.

How good are your sources Paully?

I hate transfer windows

No.

The signing was lauded when we brought him, let's not play silly beggars over his stature. In terms of a replacement let's see how it goes, I don't expect a direct replacement personally

Aye, of course he did. Its his job to set long term strategy. Obviously the club has decided this isn't the direction of travel and decided to bin it. Your not getting people of his stature to come in and do a diminished role. I get Mitchell may have been unpopular but we can't criticise him for wanting to do the job he was appointed to do.

Yeah don't reckon PSR is basically dead at this stage? Weather it's play swap or selling assets.

This is the story they keep pushing and they have but not by that much. The athletic. Chelsea’s wage bill fell £66m to £338m, but 2022-23’s figure included an estimated £45m in termination payments. Another tidbit. Without selling their assets to themselves — including two hotels in 2022-23 — Chelsea’s pre-tax loss over the last three years would have been £358.3m, more than three times the amount permitted by the Premier League, albeit their PSR loss reduces from that level once allowable costs are deducted. Cartel clubs have it so good.

Indeed but they also knows nought so going with the official story is the safe route.

55m?

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Rogers basically a 10? Also we are stuck with Vlad as his book value is 15m

Can they get enough for him to not take a loss in the books? I think that's the bigger question.

You are. Eales is obviously seriously ill and should have been replaced ages ago so he can rest. I do believe differences over job scope/ targets led to Mitchell's demise though.

It's incredible business for them no matter how good he is. As I said, in Europe only the idiots in Munich pay these prices for players of his age.

Parish will be desperate to shift him. The bigger issue for him will be Guehi just sitting it out and going for free (which I'm all for as long as it's for us or abroad).
