I wonder if the new Chelsea owner is engaged in some misguided attempt at showing his credentials?

£20m for an arsey child who thinks he's the second coming, and now a deal up to £62m for Cucurella - insane money.

Damn, do I keep Cucurella in my Fantasy squad now he'll be battling with Chilwell?

Forest are splashing the cash like a Villa/Fulham.
Aren't they in a similar position to the one we were in? Having not much option but to bring in a load of players?



Yeah, like most Championship teams, they had a lot of players on loan. Also, going up through the playoffs, suggests you have more improving to do to the squad, than the top 2.

I know the world is burning etc, but if I became world boss I think the first thing I'd do is ban fantasy fucking football and introduce on-the-spot excecutions to anyone watching football that then relates a real-time incident to "how this will affect my fantasy team".


Once that's sorted I'll deal with the fascists and BP and that.

You say that, but you can get Bailey and Archer for 9.5M Lee

I suspect they're signing cucurella as a left of 3 centre half as much as full back, that's where they look weak.

It does seem bonkers to replace a £45m left-back with a £60m left-back unless you are literally shitting money.  I know they had that year with the embargo, but after Lukaku last year, and Sterling And cucurella this window, they can't have much more to spend without some sales to balance the books a bit?

Agreed, also any mention of the Villa must be a reference to the greatest football club in the World rather than 'Love Island'.

He's so anti-gay he changed his name to Gana.

Whereas Trez changed his to include it.

Yet Chukwuemeka still thinks its a good move.

Chelsea have paid £60m for a 24 year old with 1 Spanish cap who has played for Getafe and Brighton. This is what makes me think we’ve done them over potentially with getting £20m for a kid that started 2 league games last season for us.

Buying Diego Carlos off Sevilla when Chelsea wanted his centre back partner buggered them up a bit too.

With AC Milan missing out on Chukwuemeka and them now missing out on Renato Sanches, I wonder if they'll be in for Douglas Luis before the window closes.

I'd like to see us bring in both Sangaré AND Connor Gallagher if it's not asking too much.

We can cross Wijnaldum off the list, he’s joined Roma.
