still gets no respect
How many more signings do they need before they have more signings than points?
Perhaps Boehly has the (foolish) idea that top 4 is still obtainable this season? Idk. I think there’s some positives in bringing in players now in a “dead” season and getting them a jump start on life in the PL to prepare for next season. Since nobody expects anything spectacular for the remainder of this season there’s actually less pressure on the new boys.But you're just going for players who are obtainable now, which doesn't mean they are the right players long term.
Why not wait and just outbid other clubs for players like Bellingham, Rice, or Osimhen, in the summer? I'm not saying these are the right players either, it just seems you're saying, right they look like a good player let's get them, rather than giving the players you've already got some time under Potter, and then letting him decide what is needed, and then who he wants, there is no way he wants all this to happen so quickly, he'll be under massive pressure to make it work very quickly, which is a big ask.
Not sure but I think they've got 8 wins in the PL and they've made 16 signings.How many more signings do they need before they have more signings than points?
Yeah this window is awful because can do nothing in terms of signing anyone permanentlyOf course our hands are practically tied until the summer when the new rules kick in.
We have hired Brighton’s highly rated scouting team and have appointed both a new technical director from Leipzig and a new sporting director from Monaco.It’s nearly impossible to think all the players you need to crawl back to the top table are available in 7 months.
We are sitting here reading these posts as if you aren’t 10th but it’s these other signings that’s coming in who will make the difference. We’ll just forget the likes of Koulbaly, Sterling etc.
Your new owners lost all your scouting team from the old regime did they not? How are they accessing these players so quickly never mind the sheer amount of them?
Still another 9 signings needed then - aka one more window.Not sure but I think they've got 8 wins in the PL and they've made 16 signings.
When did they start work? Before or after the 400m summer?We have hired Brighton’s highly rated scouting team and have appointed both a new technical director from Leipzig and a new sporting director from Monaco.
This isn’t Boehly pulling names out of a hat like some people think.

I'm not sure what hiring Brighton's scouting team would do with signing the likes of Gusto, Fernandez, Mudryk etc. It just reads like a list of Wonderkids from Football Manager.We have hired Brighton’s highly rated scouting team and have appointed both a new technical director from Leipzig and a new sporting director from Monaco.

This clown sucks Chelsea off at every opportunity.I can’t stand this guy. The absolute gall to pretend that Chelsea have actual fans that are actually real that actually care.

I would think it's a given that Boehly will be expecting top 4 this season still, one of United or Newcastle are more than likely to go on a bad run at some point, maybe both given our squad depth, and that Newcastle or overachieving. I'd doubt Liverpool or Spurs can take advantage, so I'd think Boehly can quite rightly expect Chelsea to be the ones to take advantage.Perhaps Boehly has the (foolish) idea that top 4 is still obtainable this season?

Waiting and trying to get players like Bellingham and Osimhen is fine if you think you’re in pole position to get them. But those two will be highly sought after by 10 massive clubs. Plus, we don’t need a box to box #8 like Bellingham since we have Kova, Mount, and Gallagher who fill that role. We need a deeper sitting Jorginho replacement most of all.
I think Chelsea must have realised that it was now or never. This is their last chance to Amortise over 8 1/2 (or whatever years). And the percentage of revenue that can be spent reduces by 10% a year for the next few years,Can't be bothered to wait by the looks of it
Dear good God. It’s the sort of tweet you’d see Mark Goldbridge post.I can’t stand this guy. The absolute gall to pretend that Chelsea have actual fans that are actually real that actually care.

After Potter was appointed, whenever that was. After the summer window though.When did they start work? Before or after the 400m summer?
To be fair Paul Winstanley (who was with Potter at Brighton) wanted Mudryk in the summer & it was Vivell who pushed for the signing of Madueke. Not that any of that particularly matters though. I really doubt most top teams in the world would have been unaware of these players?I'm not sure what hiring Brighton's scouting team would do with signing the likes of Gusto, Fernandez, Mudryk etc. It just reads like a list of Wonderkids from Football Manager.
Interesting. Good to know that you think it’s okay.Both? Or can you at least see how it looks?
There’s too much money in football, we all know that, but Chelsea have gone beyond that now in what they are doing. Not only that it only makes the issue worse.
Yeah I agree with you.I mean, I do find it a bit crass, but then I'm like that with football fees in general. I mean, Caicedo for £75M+ perhaps? Bournemouth getting an offer accepted for Zaniolo when AC Milan can't. English football in general is just feckin bonkers.
Doesn't make much sense from Enzo's perspective but he does really seem to want to come here.

It’s guys like this on Twitter that infuriate. He genuinely believes it’s Chelsea’s pulling power.
We shouldn't take you seriously, should we?Why do you take them seriously?
I mean I don’t recall any other club in history spending the amount of money Chelsea has in such a short period of time?Interesting. Good to know that you think it’s okay.
I don’t think spending like this is good for football. The game has been like this for years though. As a fan all I can do enjoy watching my team every weekend, but I can acknowledge it isn’t a great look spending this much in such a short period.
That said, I think you should think about what you say online. It’s crass and distasteful and you can do better and I say that as someone who enjoys bickering back and forth with you.
Are you ok? I'm questioning why it seems he wants to come here when he would have plenty of options in the summer. Saying it looks like a player wants to come here (which the signs this winter suggests he does) doesn't equate to hur hur warra pull Chelsea have. Settle down.We shouldn't take you seriously, should we?
Do you think he really wants Chelsea or would he joing any team willing to pay £120m right now? If it was United, would he still really want to join you? Or any other club? Or do you think he just wants to leave and any decent team who pays is enough?
Most likely this. The fact that the player has only been at his new club for 6 months and has kicked up a fuss about leaving says a lot about the player.Or do you think he just wants to leave and any decent team who pays is enough?

Well at least we know that you know exactly what you were doing and that you think it’s okay to behave in that way. Happy to end it there and not derail the thread any further.I mean I don’t recall any other club in history spending the amount of money Chelsea has in such a short period of time?
Trying to pass it all off as ‘the norm’ or ‘just football‘ isn’t accurate at all is it?
It’s crass and distasteful to revel in what Chelsea are doing currently yes. I’m glad you can acknowledge it.
Not quiteNo, just what ETH wants.
So you agree with me. That's the only thing I implied really.Are you ok? I'm questioning why it seems he wants to come here when he would have plenty of options in the summer.

Well, fellow me chap. They are ratherIf they do get it done, what have they spent in the last 2 windows? £600m+ is it?

You implied that I was gloating like that Twitter post when infact its the complete opposite.So you agree with me. That's the only thing I implied really.
Don't worry too much about the hur hur warra pull Chelsea have stuff. It wasn't important.
I mean being told the truth can be sore. I get it..Well at least we know that you know exactly what you were doing and that you think it’s okay to behave in that way. Happy to end it there and not derail the thread any further.
