Please tell me this is a jokePeter Kenyon had the boardroom wiretapped 20 years ago when he left us for them, and no-one at United has been able to locate the tapping gadget in that time.
No way. Woodward was far worse than Boehly. At least Boehly doesn't dillydally trying to save a few quids and gets his business done very quickly.They're like us under Woodward (Sanchez, Fred, Maguire), only more shit.
Looking at Boehly, aren't we glad that Woody is a ditherer.No way. Woodward was far worse than Boehly. At least Boehly doesn't dillydally trying to save a few bucks and gets his business done very quickly.
Boehly's a clown but Ed was a disaster.
John Obi Mikel was not poached. He signed an illegal contract with your club for which the courts rules Chelsea were owed the money back by Lyn Oslo and their manager received a suspended jail sentence. We paid your club to get the player early instead of waiting forever for the legalities to end. You’ll find Chelsea was originally involved in bringing Mikel to Europe earlier than the transfer to your club.It feels like they do it more often that pursuing their own targets.
Robben,Obi Mikel, Willian , Lmaο Felix, FDJ, to name a few sagas.
You'd think they'd learn their lesson when Barcelona did it to them 3 times in 1 window, but now they've hijacked Mudryk.
What lesson? Do you think that Barcelona looked at Chelsea’s transfer history and thought “someone should show them how it feels”?You'd think they'd learn their lesson when Barcelona did it to them 3 times in 1 window, but now they've hijacked Mudryk.
He literally wasn't involved in this deal.Boehly throwing his weight around. Murica
Accusations. False accusationsHe literally wasn't involved in this deal.
100 per cent true!No way. Woodward was far worse than Boehly. At least Boehly doesn't dillydally trying to save a few quids and gets his business done very quickly.
Boehly's a bit of a clown right now but Ed was a disaster.
We never gave Woodward credit for dramatically overpaying and scuffing the wage structure though?I think Boehly got traumatized by Barcelona over the summer and is hellbent on "I'M THE ONE WHO KNOCKS!" thing.
You gotta give him credit for being able to get this done so quickly though.
Abraham can't get a game in Italy, CHO isnt exactly tearing up trees in Germany plus Lamptey, Livra and Musiala rejected contract extensions, they'd all be at Chelsea if they had wanted to be.They do have a real lack of their own identity.
Right now, they could have a squad that included Abraham, Hudson-Odoi, Tomori, Guehi, Lamptey/Livramento, Musiala etc…
Regardless of all that, Chelsea never seem to have any long term planning in place. You literally dont have any plans on how to shape up your squad. All you do is flap around in the transfer window and go after whosoever is available.John Obi Mikel was not poached. He signed an illegal contract with your club for which the courts rules Chelsea were owed the money back by Lyn Oslo and their manager received a suspended jail sentence.

That’s the issue though, they have left because they couldn’t see a pathway through to the team. It’s such an amazing youth system. I can’t think of any English team that has produced as many good players as Chelsea have in recent years.Abraham can't get a game in Italy, CHO isnt exactly tearing up trees in Germany plus Lamptey, Livra and Musiala rejected contract extensions, they'd all be at Chelsea if they had wanted to be.
Selling Guehi and Tomori for something like 50 million was a mistake in my eyes but it certainly wasn't "peanuts".
Lamptey and Livramento's pathway was blocked by another academy graduate, Reece James. Not really much we could do about that.That’s the issue though, they have left because they couldn’t see a pathway through to the team. It’s such an amazing youth system.

It is almost as if depending on Reece James as a sole attacking right back couldn’t possibly backfire!Lamptey and Livramento's pathway was blocked by another academy graduate, Reece James. Not really much we could do about that.
Musiala didn't leave because he thought he couldn't make the first team, he left because he wanted to play for Bayern Munich.
As I said, we tried to keep both Lamptey and Livramento but they both decided to not stay and fight with James for a spot.It is almost as if depending on Reece James as a sole attacking right back couldn’t possibly backfire!
That is fine if you really think that Chelsea and their constant manager changeovers and erratic market spending doesn’t influence player’s and agent’s decisions, but I think it does.As I said, we tried to keep both Lamptey and Livramento but they both decided to not stay and fight with James for a spot.
Ironically they've both also had horrible injury problems.
Those things have certainly had an impact of course over the years, just not with Livramento, Lamptey (didn't want to spend years trying to displace Reece James) or Musiala (wanted to move home to Germany and Bayern Munich).That is fine if you really think that Chelsea and their constant manager changeovers and erratic market spending doesn’t influence player’s and agent’s decisions, but I think it does.
I mean, we were pretty much chasing Lukaku from the moment Conte arrived. In this particular case it was very much you playing the role as hijacker.You matched our Lukaku bid but he chose us(sad, but funnier when he returned to you).
Rudiger was signed the year after while Alonso was a last minute deal that came totally out of the blue (alongside Luiz returning).We never hear about any players being on Chelsea's radar. The only time you had great league seasons were when you planned your window properly - when you got 3 players from Atletico, Matic, Fabregas under Jose and then signed Kante, Rudiger, Alonso etc under Conte.
It's the truth. Can you handle the truth? No one can handle the truth!Please tell me this is a joke
Their old poaching style was a lot lot better though. Robben and gang.Chelsea are the cancer of the EPL. Have been since they let the Putin's demon in.
Woodward paid huge wages for average players as every top target rejected us. Not sure Boehy is paying huge wages as well.We never gave Woodward credit for dramatically overpaying and scuffing the wage structure though?
We don’t know that part yet, but so far he looks like Woodward 2.0 and I’m looking forward to watching it unfold!Woodward paid huge wages for average players as every top target rejected us. Not sure Boehy is paying huge wages as well.
