boratsbrother Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 8 minutes ago, My Blood Is Blue said: £20-25m for Sancho. If we get Bundesliga Sancho, that’s a bargain As with Werner, Sancho only looked good in the Bundesliga because it's a mediocre league these days. It's easier to look good in any sport when playing at a lower level. When Sancho and Werner stepped up to a higher level they simply couldn't get close to cutting it at that level. This signing is yet another completely random one which makes no sense. The owners have gone from making the right decision in moving on the right players and going for a younger, hungry squad, to now looking like they are just throwing players at it and seeing if some stick.

My Blood Is Blue Posted August 30 Author Share Posted August 30 It’s done, he’s not coming. So it’s Jackson with Guiu as backup and Nkunku/Felix as a ‘false 9’ option. Hmm, this won’t go down well will it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VA96 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Instead of increasing Osimhens wages and then be able to agree personal terms with him we've gone and thrown the money at Sancho instead makes no sense 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Orca Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Usual balls up by Chelsea hierarchy. Toney was the signing. Cheaper and a known force in the PL. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original 21 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Well it looks like we presented him with a significant proposal and he turned us down. He now stays at Napoli I assume but won’t be in their squad. Disappointing but as long as we did all we could then we move on… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like the fella, and think he's a total muppet...but he's scored 100+ goals across Chelsea, Baggies, Toffees and United. Bit of a soft track bully. I remember the majority of his goals coming against lesser teams then going missing in the big games. But hey, that's just my view. Plus it was nuts to pay 97.5m for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post blueboy1905 Posted August 30 Popular Post Share Posted August 30 Today was the day, if confirmation was required, that we are no longer a serious club. We are a posh version of a clearing house dealing in human beings who happen to kick a ball. Forget about challenging for titles or trophies. We have regressed to what we were in the 1930's, a circus hall club, a nice day out at the football before going out to do something more important. 1 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are going to experience loads of difficult times . A win here and there , but it won't be fun. We saw the crap game yesterday in Geneva .

So… We are trying to sell a player for only a few millions more than we signed him for and are afraid that we might be investigated for inflating prices? Yikes.

Original 21 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 (edited) Where I think we messed up is that we put all our eggs in the Osimhen basket presumably thinking he’d agree in the final hour. We now don’t have a back up striker plan. Not Toney, not anyone. A big fat nothing. And we’re going into the new season with the kid Guiu as our only real no. 9. Heads should roll for that.

My Blood Is Blue Posted August 30 Author Share Posted August 30 Can’t believe they haven’t signed a striker. They put all their eggs in the Osimhen basket, but the eggs were too small and they didn’t try and hand them over until the final days of the transfer window. It really is poor. The striker position was key for us this summer and Osimhen was obviously the man the club wanted, so they should have been on that from the start, rather than spending so much time hoovering up young talent from across the globe. If they had tried earlier in the window and failed, at least we could have gone for option B. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original 21 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 How on earth did we spend months on a deal knowing that the guy was unwilling to buy into our wage terms? Presumably we could’ve worked this out months ago and not wasted ours and everybody’s time. Sounds like really amateur stuff to not have known this would prove a sticking point. Disappointed as I really think we could do with a striker of his calibre. But it’s really pathetic to have messed up like this and not given ourselves a back up option.

Surely can't be the wages for the reasons you've said. My guess - we delayed the Lukaku deal to try and get Osimhen tied up. Eventually caved and completed that deal, then ADL their president screwed us knowing a Saudi deal (probably more lucrative deal for him) can be forced onto Osimhen over the next few days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lump Of Celery Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 But yeah, has been clear for the past 48hrs we should have had the Toney deal lined up. No loss to anyone involved if we pulled out and signed Osimhen, Toney could still have moved to Saudi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Reports now coming through that Chelsea will subsidise a hefty portion of Raheem Sterling's salary whilst he plays for a Champions League club. You really couldn't make this up. The worst run club in the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
