I think it’s a case of a couple of littler signings like cornet until we reduce the current squad and wage bill. 9 players in their last season so it may be next summer for any more big marquee signings.

Next couple of years is important to clear out dead wood as contracts run down (think over 20 contracts expire in next 2 years with 9 in the next year) and we build up academy as we’ve started to already. add on top of this new sponsorship and slowly landing occasional botman bruno type signing to raise our profile. This is the only way forward in this day and age I feel.

No one knows their financial plans and 1 and a half windows isn’t enough to tell. All I know is you don’t get to be worth what they are by doing the wrong thing financially so whatever the outcome I’m happy.

Possibly - I also haven’t really read the last 40 pages either.

Mate, i tried to quote about people expecting too much and the budget something like at least 40 pages ago and I basically got told to go away so this is my first post since. People are gonna believe and (imo) be disappointed when the dust settles even though we’ll have had a really good window. wasting your time.

And who cares if he’s just an impact sub, a wild card - it’s £17.5m. He can be bought as well as rather than instead of. it’s a 5 sub rule next season and versatility, cover and options will help a lot. If we can take a gamble on wood then we can take a gamble on him.

Agreed - I mean it’s in between the cost of target and burn ffs. also reports saying he’s training normally and not kicking up any fuss so obviously has a good attitude as well.

Reports now coming in Everton are looking at cornet - he has a £17.5m release clause, to me that’s well worth a gamble and we shouldn’t miss out.

I’ve seen enough - get him in

I feel like they need to mix the teams up for second half to make it more fair.

We should sign mead

Is tackling not allowed?

Commentator saying it doesn’t get better than this, 5-0 is better. Reminds me of the old Bobby Robson quote where he said something along the lines of “we won 8-0 and you can’t win any more than that”.

They looked decent in last game

And 30 years old

Just giving my opinion but point taken - will do.

Fucking tosser for getting sent off, can’t believe he did that - absolute moron. fucking amazing insight for sacrificing himself with that red card knowing that’s the start of a new chapter for joelington - absolute genius.

Just think they’d do well to occasionally remind themselves how much we’ve spent already and barely shipped any fucker out yet.

So we’ve had 2 separate posters saying they’ll be “disappointed” and “bummed” if we don’t sign Paqueta. My god how we’ve turned into spoiled brats already.

So do willock, murphy, Fraser and shelvey but that’s never helped them.

He might not be happy playing there every single game - being a manager is also about managing people.

Did Bruno tell you that’s his favourite role? wow that must be pretty cool

Do you really think that or just trying to justify his signing? Not being argumentative- just wondering ?

And I lived in north London for 20 years - Up until last march. It’s a really nice place to live as will.

Yep, Chelsea have a huge advantage in my opinion with their squad and the way they’re buying. We’ll get there in a few seasons time when we’ve reduced wages bill, made a few more quality signings, new advertising is in place etc and people will take us more seriously.
