Agreed and the fact the World Cup is happening means a lot of the decent players will be on public view to a huge audience and prices will sky rocket ! January window is there for teams really struggling looking for anything they can get their hands on We done well in January considering but as Staveley mentioned a few times not a window we really want to get involved in

Yeah that’s the hope Would take pulisic or Broja on loan Gallagher permanent or loan CHO - Wouldn’t bother / flatters to deceive

Has he not also got deep lying I just concerns ?? Sure I read he has some sort of weird injury that affects him ? Also arrived back at Pre season overweight no thanks

The wages will be the issue with any Chelsea player

Not if they definitely want £30m its pointless

Ivan Toney 50m

Football has changed now Premier league teams don’t have to sell if they don’t want to The tv money has meant a lot of teams can afford to keep their best players and pay them well. or….they can set ridiculously high valuations for them and wait for teams to match it Years ago you could just raid smaller premier league clubs for fun but know things have changed with all of the shared TV money You would of thought someone like James Ward Prowse would of moved years ago but seems content at Southampton unless someone comes in with a stupid bid. Same with Anthony Gordon / Everton demanding 50 million for a player that has played one half decent season in the premier league ?

My exact thoughts

Time to go……. full monitor mode

I think he will be a good signing on the flip side ….if he signed for forest 5 weeks ago …I would say ….ah look forest have signed another player …..!!!

I am not disappointed in the Pedro link or bid I will be disappointed if we miss out again with low ball bids/valuations again It appears our strategy is to monitor for weeks / months ….then low bid ..,.then radio silence …..walk away we’ve had multiple weeks to negotiate with Watford fo come to an agreement ?? But for some reason we think are low valuations need to be met ?? I still trust the process but I am struggling to see how we make a breakthrough Pedro must be quite a way down the list or we would of tried earlier in the window be sold they Denis ?

He was excellent against us last season at St James’ Park.

I would take all bar Callum Hudson adoi I don’t get what he does ….he is Chelseas miggy ……winger that’s flatters to deceive All the rest ….Yes in order Pulisic Gallagher Broja for me

Brighton have fantastic scouts / transfer infrastructure They have been unbelievable over the last few years , including this window They will be in the top 10 this year and for a club that size thats fantastic Moved the ball much quicker than us and pressed us very well.

Can’t see 4 of them moving ….and we definitely won’t buy one of their players

I sort of agree However solid to me is not letting other teams have chances ! Brighton had multiple chances , and without pope or better finishing we would of been beaten quite comfortably. Being solid means denying teams goal scoring opportunities and restricting them to long range shots Brighton should of scored at least 1 I think the match showed we are very lacking in (game changers)…..and as you mentioned 2/3 more attacking players. I also think in the next few windows we need some extra quality defenders Upgrades and challenges to Burn / Lascelles / Targett / Schar …,,.who I think are all good premier league defenders ….but if the aim is Europe or higher ….we need botman quality

Everyone that watched the Brighton game in full will know we are severely lacking in quality and lacking in firepower / creativity from the wings Bringing on Murphy etc , shows the lack of depth

Merhdad and Amanda at Chelsea game with Chelsea co-owner ?

I think he is keeping his cards very close to his chest

I think we will sign 2 players before the window shuts (permanent) Plus 1 loan - ✅

I would still love Paqueta ?? But trust the process

I don’t get this argument in regards to any player we buy or money we spend if the management team decide to go all in / or decide to sign a player (whatever the fee) I don’t see it as wasted money , its money spent on a player the club think will improve us , and probably a player that they think will get is where we want to be I trust our director of football / scouts / manager etc…. more than I trust random fans. All signings at all clubs (no matter what the fee) have the potential to flop or be a huge success. Transfer fees can sometimes be irrelevant, in terms of how things pan out. We could sign Gordon for 20 million and he proves to be the worst signing ever ..,.could just as easily pay 40 million and prove to be an absolute steal (and vice versa) Just leave it in the hands of the new management set up as they work with the players and know who we need.

Are Leicester in a position to play chicken Every club should just let it ride out see if their arse drops on deadline day if they need to sell , they need to sell if not , let the players run down their contracts and let Leicester suffer needing the money
