Chelsea with some exceptional business.


Take note, Woodward. That’s how you support your club legend turned Manager.

They have done good up top but they will fail because of their defence, Chilwell isn't good enough for that level and Silva won't last long at his age

True. But they are sorting out their disaster keeper and Thiago will offer great leadership. Won’t be a great defence or anything, but it will be much better.

A great signing that should have been completed 6 months earlier in the summer. Our season would have been so much different then. With Woodward, we should just be happy he at least got it done or be it very late though.

Yeah he did transform that team. You're pretty happy with Ole then? I think you'll have a good season going by how you played the back half of 19/20

I cant see them all being a success though and I do have a feelingsWerner will flop hence why Klopp dropped interest.

Also alot of Youth players will now want to leave as they will drop to the bottom again

Werner will take the Prem by storm. He’s built for it. Klopp didn’t drop interest, your owners just didn’t want to fork out for him. Hell. You guys are struggling to complete the steal that is £25m for Thiago.

our owners are investors who won't pay over the odds on players we don't need and we didn't need Werner.

Thiago is different and we should sign him.

But our owners spend to much money on agents fees and wasted stadium plans.

Hopefully as soon as we get this new investor they will use some of the money to put into the club

Yeah but Chelsea have always had shedloads of young players on their books most of whom they loan out so kinda business as usual there

I'll be surprised if Werner flops, I think he's gonna tear it up

Grateful for what? Terrible owners that bought us because our value was distressed. Made bad decision after bad decision. They are charging us interest on the loans for stadium development which they said they would never do. It's actually the part of FFP where owners can invest, so they could have paid for that on their own, especially as the increased stadium capacity will affect their selling price more than our transfer kitty, but no, we have to pay for it. They bought us for around 200m, and now we're worth around 10 x that.

The only decision they got right was the no brainer to appoint Klopp, and he's carried their incompetent, no investment asses ever since. Worst owners behind the glazers in the division. Can't even compete with Villa and Brighton with transfer funds. It's all built on sand, so as soon as Klopp leaves we'll be back to fighting for 4th.

Luckiest arseholes in football..
