I think a man of his stature wants a bigger club at some point, and at bigger clubs you don't usually get more control. He'll have to compromise some of that if he wants the next step. 

 

He has no control at palace though, he's been begging for signings for ages and they keep selling players.

Yeah that's what I mean. Why would he turn down Chelsea for more control at a club like Palace where his options will always be limited?

In certain areas. They have a lot of averageness in positions. As much as people go on about our wingers, Neto / Gittens / Garnacho / Mydruk is a comically average collection for sums spent. Esteavo looks to be bucking the trend but there is very much a muchness in parts of their squad.

 

Cucarella / Hato as LBs. Gusto as RB :D The ones I mentioned previously along with Pedro are only ones that I’d be happy to be  starters for us (Colwill depends on what he’s like post ACL). 

It’s an incredibly high floor squad.  Palmer, Neto and Estavao is high quality attacking players imo. The others are ok.  I don’t think Neto is world class but he would be our best winger imo. 
 

Reece James and Gusto are among the strongest sets of RBs in European football.  Cucarella is a very good left back.  Chelsea probably have Englands and Spains fullbacks as their first choice full backs. 
 

Chelsea have finished above us 3 seasons in a row.  Across 2 managers. Ita because of the quality in depth of their squad. 
 

With them consistently finishing above us the question should be how many of ours would make their squad. Pope as backup (stylistically). Take an experienced CB for leadership. Hall would probably be a great rotation option for Cucarella - I don’t think he would be in their strongest team. Tonali and Bruno make the squad but arguably neither start.  Gordon makes the squad - arguable that he starts. We wanted both Their strikers over our own.  There’s an argument none of our players start over theirs.

The squad building can’t be with the intention of winning high level trophies. 
 

Jackson out for Delap and Pedro is dumb. Osimhen was right there.  Noni out for Gittens is dumb.  Garnacho for Sancho - what is the point? Need some experience in defence.

American owners like Boehly are always going to look for some type of return as the bottom line. Like most owners tbf. How much of their own money would they be prepared to risk in an attempt to win trophies? 

 

I'm sure he would LOVE to win trophies, but he will want to do it risking as little of his own money as possible.

They spent £90m on Garnacho and Gittens. These are massive and needless risks.

 

 

Both very young players, definitely bought for potential and sell on fee if needed rather than off the shelf ready.

We spent 95m on Elanga and Ramsey tbf and we have limitations

The irritating thing is that it matters not a jot if they flop - which they likely will.

Which still makes him a massive cunt.

In my humble opinion of course.

Just reporting what he’s told tbf. No doubt we told him the plan was to keep Isak, but we are shit at PR

Chelsea have completely character assasinated Maresca and said he lacks the mental fortidude and emotional maturity to be their manager

[emoji38] the only sad aspect is that this constant self-demolition approach does little to seriously hinder them on the pitch

They've financially doped for so long and got away with bending and breaking rules, that it doesn't even apply to them anymore. The can literally do whatever they like and the PL won't touch them. I'd go as far as saying the PL would happily assist them getting around any issues. 

The PL is the 20 clubs. We're 5% responsible.

Chelsea not really a team you can easily compromise. The big boys want to decide clearly

Rosenior’s release clause will conveniently be fortunes to allow the grift to continue.

 

"RC Strasbourg are honored to announce the release of Liam Rosenior, with the sum of 12m Euros being paid to Chelsea FC."
