Five signings in a summer isn't exactly unrealistic. In fact some clubs consider it normal.

It'll be 'difficult' and what is Levy to do.

aaaah shit, I promised myself that my initial knee-jerk was over and I was back to being good looking, well hung and metrosexual..........

Maybe in another little while.

CE’s money allowed us to cover Bergwijn deal with structured payments. Extremely little paid upfront

So its widely reported that RA has put £247 million of his own money into Chelsea over the course of the year, and our owner can't come up with 2 pence?

Don't be sad.

None out of three ain't bad.

So have I wasted my pay day money on a 'Polonius' number 9 shirt then?!

Its easy to put money stolen from the Russian people into a football club just so it keep you free from a Russian gulag somewhere....

Sounds exactly like our attempts to sign a striker.

 

[RobjDerby]

So one of our biggest and longest rivals, lead us up the Garden path on a player we actually never could have got.
What a bloody surprise.

 

[hakano]

You name me who they have on their books, fit, that is any more of a striker than Son, Lucus or Bergwin?

Greenwood and Martial. I'm surprised you didn't mention Jack Clarke in the Spurs list.

 

[matty74]

Yeah your about 4 hours behind mate it’s not happening

 

[robertobaggio]

haaland, im sure he'd be fine being second choice for a couple of seasons and rotating.

Piatek

Seeing that Frank has gone public that he is staying. We were very confident we could conclude a deal for Giroud, up until last night. We spent 3 days talking and agreed all. This morning Frank himself decided he wanted him to stay, due to their failure to bring in another striker. That was not the understanding we had. Chavs were willing. Frank this morning vetoed that happening.

club would of backed JM with obligation on Willian Josè, but he was not confident to do so. Would of stretched us (obligation) but DL would of done it. So with all this in mind, I call it the way I see it. I was pissed off like any supporter would be with out failure striker front. But after getting clear understanding, from my disclosure in past hour, how could I honestly start bashing our club on this? When the club/DL is at fault, I will call it. If I do, BsodL don’t get on my case that I have an agenda.Eze, verbally agreed for summer. We have first option!

Don't really get that. Verbally first option sounds a bit underwhelming. If there is another team biding 5m more you know what offer will be accepted.

 

[wiggo24]

lol competition for Kane, fucking laughable.

City have Jesus on the bench.
Chelsea have Giroud and Batshuiyi on the bench.
Arsenal have Lacazette on the bench.
Leicester have Iheanacho on the bench.
Even Wolves have Cutrone on the bench.
We have Troy Parrott (if he makes the bench, which he's apparently not ready to).

The idea that you can't have a decent back-up striker is honestly astonishing.

 

[Matthew]

He would choose to sit on our bench than play as the main guy at BD?

except he isnt is he? both games hes been on the bench. hes 18, and sure would thrive and enjoy the competition with kane, were in 3 competions this season, will be 5 next. plenty of play time for both to play.

LISTEN OUT PLEASE!

we are heavily governed by our banks, and the credit we already drawn down, and have with them. Reality is; we will spend sensibly. We have auditors etc, under agreement watching how we spend every penny. The bank want to protect their asset, which is the stadium. Unless we have an investor to come in, pay off everything, we have to be creative and frugal. I rather that than false hopes. So don’t expect summer to see us rack up 150m in purchases Net spend. We thought we would of had more sponsors:naming rights etc.

I don’t like it, but that is how it is.

EDITED: Nett spend of 150m. Should say can’t see us spending 150m, unless there is couple sails, new investment etc. Opinion

What a bloody surprise.

Almost as if everyone on this forum predicted this as soon as the links came out a few days ago!

[x] Excuses ready for summer

Thanks Herc for the insight anyway, very interesting as usual.

What a hero Levy is.

 

[Liamyid28]

Remember when levy said the new stadium wouldn’t affect us in the transfer market. Good times lol
