Money isn't an object to them, why would they prefer to make small profits rather than huge ones by winning stuff via massive investment? You answered your own question. Money isnt an object to them. The profit figures involved from winning something isnt significant to a state. We are a glorified sports advert for the country. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 32 minutes ago, WilliamPS said: It’s 30% of what Peterborough get, not what Brentford get. Brentford have said it’s nothing to do with them And some sources claim it doesn’t exist If thats the case which makes sense then it’s a none news story. However thats not what the article states. 39 minutes ago, SteV said: How could we take a % of what Brentford get though? Surely we have nothing in place with them? I agree it seems strange but article does suggest we are in for a windfall. It’s Ryder mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 If we can seal Guehi today, I'm hoping we can then direct all our energy elsewhere. Clubs will now be getting desperate to find moves for players they have not been able to move, and the loan market options should open up. Come on Mitchell man, make something happen.

The best trend analysis is “how many right wingers have Chelsea signed since NUFC bought one”. My guess is close on double figures Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Makes no sense arguing about how long since we signed an RW. Firstly most of it was under Ashley, secondly we had a whole squad to overhaul. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but even if you think Barnes was a mistake (I don't), that's still only one signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Barnes was a mistake as I think he's a good r̶e̶a̶l̶ e̶s̶t̶a̶t̶e̶ m̶a̶g̶n̶a̶t̶e̶ player, but it's puzzling at best that he can't get starts ahead of Jacob Murphy when he's been fit since February/March. Hindsight and all that but I'd personally have rather spent the £40m we paid for Barnes on a RW last summer when we also had the pull of CL football.

When we bought Barnes, Gordon was hardly established as our LW. He'd played on the right often at Everton, his first starts for us were on the right, in Europe for the un21s he played up front. He didn't get established on the left until after Barnes came. One of the main reasons we bought him, according to Howe at the time, was Gordon's ability to play right across the line.

PauloGeordio Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 (edited) Eddie on this summer transfer window: "You know there was every chance that this summer was going to be a difficult one. Difficult to navigate for so many different reasons. I am not totally surprised. When you are in my shoes you want the squad together as early as possible." Eddie on if this window can still be classed as a success: "Of course. It only takes one player to make a window a success or failure, however people view it." It doesn't feel like a success from where I'm sitting but let's judge after the deadline has passed I guess! Edited August 27 by PauloGeordio Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
