Threats from Roman's Russian Mafia friends, who are also working with the Italian Mafia that are located in Rome.How in the hell do Chelsea do it?

To be fair, they did spend €110m on Lukaku so it is hardly a complete masterclass.Can’t believe they paid 34 million for him.
He's OK'ish with his back to goal, his hold up play has improved, but he's obviously not the finished article yet. He's good in the air when clearing corners and generally defending in his own box. He isn't particularly great with using his height advantage in an attacking sense. He's scores goals at a pretty good rate though.Is he good in the air and with his back to goal? He'd better be
Honestly, Lingard pissed away this window thinking he could start for Man Utd. If was onboard early, he would have started the season for someone else.Yet we can't get a bid for Lingard. It doesn't make sense.
Strangely I thought he got worse as an all rounder as time went on. What impressed me the most when he first returned to the team was his overall play, which was shown the most in his winner at Norwich and goal to clinch the hatrick at Wolves.He's OK'ish with his back to goal, his hold up play has improved, but he's obviously not the finished article yet.

I'm starting to wonder if someone at your club has a hoarding mentality.Yet we can't get a bid for Lingard. It doesn't make sense.
You have probably said the same about Smalling.Probably won’t settle and will be back in England in a season or two. Wouldn’t even be surprised if he get’s loaned back to a club in the EPL next season.
34 mil for an England striker in his early 20s is not that high really. Ben shitting White cost 50!How the feck do Chelsea manage to get that kind of money for their out of favor players? Is it wages?
Getting 34m from an Italian side is harder than selling Ben White for 50m.34 mil for an England striker in his early 20s is not that high really. Ben shitting White cost 50!
Even if he's shit they'd make their money back from a mid table prem side. If he's good then they make a fortune.
The payment is vastly deferred to the 23-24 season though. They are only paying 5m right now and they have Jose as their manager who will throw fits if he doesn't get his players.Getting 34m from an Italian side is harder than selling Ben White for 50m.
Italian clubs are skint and love doing loan deals with no obligation to buy.
We definitely do although Mata is a weird one to bring up to support that. He only keeps getting extended because he's an experienced figure in the dressing room that doesn't demand game time (although the wages we give him are far too high for that role). He's taking his coaching badges right now so this is probably his last contract before he moves into coaching either with us or with another club.I'm starting to wonder if someone at your club has a hoarding mentality.
That's the only reasonable explanation for why Jones (contract extension in 2019) and Mata (contract extension recently) are still with you, your big list of keepers aswell.
The board is to be blamed too isn't it? He would have tried to secure a move away as early as possible if someone told him that he wasn't in the plans.Honestly, Lingard pissed away this window thinking he could start for Man Utd. If was onboard early, he would have started the season for someone else.
That's pretty similar to how Juventus are paying for Lucatelli as well. It's how the Italians clubs do their transfers. They're not splashing out more than 40m for players like the English teams are doing nowadays because they're all broke.The payment is vastly deferred to the 23-24 season though. They are only paying 5m right now and they have Jose as their manager who will throw fits if he doesn't get his players.
He will be back In a couple of seasons for 50m+ quote me on that.Probably won’t settle and will be back in England in a season or two. Wouldn’t even be surprised if he get’s loaned back to a club in the EPL next season.
Agreed, it seems they've all seen what Sancho did and really broke the mold there. I think it can only be better for English players too.Actually quite interested and intrigued to see how he gets on. Always find it exciting when English players go abroad, it was so rare for so long.
Zaniolo and Abraham could be a really interesting pairing ... though as you say with Jose it could go either wayBe interesting to see how Mourinho copes with him. By all accounts hes a difficult personality to deal with. When it comes to Mourinho and difficult personalities, either they get on really well with Jose and he gets the best out of them or it goes spectacularly wrong.
"By all accounts"? I don't think I've ever heard anything about that. Please link a few of them, i'd be interested to see all the managers, coaches or players who said he is difficult to work with.Be interesting to see how Mourinho copes with him.

No? Can’t say I follow.You have probably said the same about Smalling.
they also do co ownership. You’ll never ever see that in the premier leagueThat's pretty similar to how Juventus are paying for Lucatelli as well. It's how the Italians clubs do their transfers. They're not splashing out more than 40m for players like the English teams are doing nowadays because they're all broke.
It’s not they showed the VAR still. Was level.That second goal is 100% offside. Fantastic debut from Tammy!
