Surprised JJ hasn’t put us all out of our misery yet. He usually has by now
We wanted Piatek, he wanted to come. We wanted a loan to minimise the risk.
Just so I don’t have to read through 20 pages of betting odds, have we any irons left in the fire or are we closed for business now?
Yes Rob ban anyone that disagrees with this please! The appologists are a fucking cult.Because we've had since Llorente left to sign a backup striker.
Because we've had a month since Kane got injured to desperately sign a backup striker.
Of course we failed trying to do it in the last few days and of course the options left were awful.
There's no world class striker who fancied playing in the best stadium in the world and working for the most famous manager in the world?
There's really no defence for how much Levy fucks about trying to get a "deal", pinching pennies but losing pounds.
That's what's @Stoof 's missus saidClosed as of about lunchtime today sadly been a proverbial anti climax
That cult has a name. Bastard sons of Daniel LevyYes Rob ban anyone that disagrees with this please! The appologists are a fucking cult.
If you were Lampard/Chelsea why would you help out a top 4 rival?
If their keeper got injured and they wanted Gazzaniga we'd tell them to do one, and we'd do it right at the end of the window to hurt them more.
The whole Giroud pursuit was ill advised. A waste of time.

That makes financial sense. We’ve bought “quality” before and it’s burned us. Can see loans with options to buy as a prudent way forward for many premiership clubs. A £25 million punt is an huge gamble ... see GLC as example - he’s only made good of late. Many don’t make the grade. Car equivalent of php.We wanted Piatek, he wanted to come. We wanted a loan to minimise the risk.
This financials talk is Effed Up. Do we really have to wait 25/30 years to pay the stadium off before we can loosen the purse strings and be competitive?
I'll be dead!
We pay premium prices for inferior product.
I don’t disagree with that. I just accept reality. Our chairman will never change. It is like realising the dream wife you married is actually a bitch and you
want out. You get a divorce, and go again. We just can’t divorce our chairman, as it means divorcing our club. Btw, happily married for 31 years

No not really, that is not the only converse. Nobody has said that he doesn’t want the club to be successful. Far from it. But just like managers are sacked by him time and time again for not being able to take the team to another level you can say the same about him.

Every single person knew on here what Chelsea were going to do, shit planning a month after Kane got injured we were relying on rivals to do us a favour, ridiculousWhy is it difficult to slag off ‘No striker?!’ The ones offered (aside from Giroud) of late were not do-able in the end. The possible ones like Benteke Mourinho (JM) didn’t fancy. Had we signed Benteke with JM blessings, we would be going off on one. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
And again, up until last night a lot of us thought Giroud was good as done. It wasn’t chavs that stopped it, but Frank. Pissing about with a player’s career like that is not on.
