João Pedro

Quite funny how the club have lost out on him twice in three years. Maybe next time.

He’s scored like one open play goal in like 25 games I think? 
 

Chelsea are not in a great spot IMO, and that will show as the proper games start off next season.

Palmer is absolutely top notch, in my book. I’d be delighted though if you were right.

Meltdown imminent 

 

Its a follow on of the story from yesterday, let’s not shit the bed yet

Targeting only English or current Premier League players leads to inflated prices we can’t compete with. We should be looking abroad, where quality talent is available for far better value. Should have learnt that lesson with the Guehi nonsense last year 

 

Sunderland are about to pay £30m for someone who's just finished 7th in Ligue 1 with less than 100 league games under his belt who'll be in a relegation battle. £50-60m for the finished product who we view as being good enough to finish top 4 seems about right tbh.

Is it plausible that Chelsea are after him just to stop us from having him? Him and Delap don't exactly scream title challenge, assuming that's their target.

Hopefully it works out as well for us this time as it did the first time.

Must be nice business for Bloom knowing he will double his money each time Chelsea come calling. Whats that, north of £400M or so they've extracted from Chelsea?

Caicedo, Cucarella and Sanchez was 175m.

He is, but he’s levels this season as it’s gone on compared to last is night and day and it’s not changing.

 

Chelsea got over the line for UCL with that win end of season, but they were on a slide. Like playing Liverpool on the beach and Man Utd paper over how abject they were 2nd half of season. Nothing to fear about them at all IMO. 

[Rafalove]

So these cunts are signing our two top striker targets? Starting to really dislike these.

I’ve wondered the same.

Smart business by them. If you cant learn from the best, just straight up copy them.

I wouldn’t say that is representative of Chelsea fans, honestly despise social media platforms for that. 

Do Chelsea have fans or just customers? Watching the ECL final it felt like the latter.

I was beaten up (ish) twice by ‘grown men’, home and away when a kid in the 80s and pretty much minding my own business. Always had a dislike for the club since. 

[Ikon]

Can’t really blame us but we’ve been too slow. 

[Fenham Mag]

They have Neto, Gittins, Jackson, Delap , Nkunku, Madueke, George, Guiu and also Felix and Sterling still on their books all in attaching positions.

 

What a totally bonkers situation.

You are absolutely right - why did I think more players got sold? 

[Scoot]

I have faith in the club to get the players we need but transfers with us have become incredibly frustrating. We miss out on so many players its uncanny.

[JT24]

Funded by PIF this summer through the CWC too. Next they’ll announce Riyadh Air as FOS sponsor to the tune of 60m a year. 
 

Extraordinary turn of events.

The only thing giving me hope is that his info is only coming from the Chelsea end. He hasn't yet said that Pedro has chosen Chelsea.

 

Sadly history suggests we know which way this goes.

It is Sunday papers day too! Need them clicks.

Welcome to Chelsea.

Sounds like we had our window to get a deal done and blew it. Cant blame Chelsea for that

We don’t know that, just like we don’t know who Pedro prefers to join for whatever his reasons might be. Time will tell. The rest is just dot joining and click bait bollox.

It worked well with Everton and Gordon and now it feels like we’re continually playing brinkmanship with every transfer. Meanwhile Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea etc just come in and steamroll at whatever price it needs to get done at.

 

This window has been a further eye opener that the dice are stacked so far towards the pre-PSR clubs that it’s overtly crooked. Still, we all knew they were doing it and as long as they have the ESL threat and weak cuckold clubs like Brighton, Bournemouth and Brentford to act as their feeder clubs and vote to maintain the status quo, we’ll forever be hoping Eddie turns water into wine.

 

Or the back office team and PIF could get their backsides into gear after 3.5 years and actually do something game changing with the infrastructure side…

[BergenMagpie]

Shame as he could cover a lot of positions and give us options, but he fails the no-dickheads test so Chelsea should suit him
