I'm not sure his 5 goals last season or 2 this would be worth killing for.

Bit short sighted imo, he's limited yeah but he's a different option, hold the ball up bring others in to play etc, he was good when he was here and still good enough to do a job now, doesn't have to be him, man u just got that weghorst, anyone like that for a different angle but under this manager it's 1 size fits all and it's not working.

He wanted to move back to the West Midlands for family reasons. Don't know if Leicester would have been close enough. Maybe.

Really makes you wonder if Omari Hutchinson's regretting his decision to leave Arsenal to get minutes to a club who have signed two more wingers for more than 130m combined since he joined . Maybe there's an in there.

Bang on, was an odd move anyway. He's now got a further 6 new wingers and attackers in front of him. We should be all over him.

tbf if you are an under 21 player(not first team) at chelsea now you'd certainly be having second thoughts about things

Seems cheap?

It would have but wolves is a better fit for him so why not ….

Danjuma agreed to join Everton on loan. You cannot emphasise enough just how important it is we sign at least one winger!

He was very impressive at the World Cup.

 

I think it's important for Leicester to return to the "buy promising young players" angle though and am happy we seemed to have gone back to that way. The problem with the older players is whilst their transfer fees can be cheap, their wages usually are not. And that's why all teams end up with dead weight players they can't shift. That's why players like Dawson, Ings, etc might be good for the short term but will eventually get you into trouble.

 

Juarnovic is 27... so not too old. At that age with a 3 or 4 year contract you probably don't get to sell them on, but worst case scenario he'd be 31 when he leaves on a free, and Union will have him for the peak of his career. He's actually their record signing and they have a good record of scouting, so I think that is a good deal for them.

 

I think it's highly important we keep going for players like Fofana, Faes, Kristiansen, etc because those are the type of players who can end up being sold for 3-4x for what we paid for them. And that's how the club sustains itself! Sadly with clubs like Chelsea in the league there simply isn't a way we can compete other than to exploit them with high transfer fees.

Yeah agree on the most part, although i think it’s ok to chuck in the odd more seasoned pro to add the experience, especially one who’s likely to be a starter. 
 

Seeing how he performed at the World Cup, and the desire the Croatians play with, you’d think he’d be just what we need. Can’t imagine he’d be on wages above £50,000 a week at Celtic either.

Brighton’s scouting team potentially at it again, now picking up one of the best talents out of Sweden.

 

The Scandinavian countries have some potential gems.

 

[Sunbury Fox]

Chelsea's transfer policy is mind boggling. Once the Madueke deal goes through that leaves them with the following wide attackers:  Ziyech, Pulisic, Sterling, Mudryk, Madueke, as well as Mount and Havertz who can play in those positions. Meantime, we've struggled through this season with 1 proper wide man!!

The problem is, we seem to have no financial flexibility or interest in spending money on development players. Whether that's players for our academy or players thst go on loan and develop to become 1st team here or sold on for a profit to reinvest in the model. Its surely the logical plan for having the best facilities in the world and yet we've made no attempts to do so, even before the financial issues.

Transfer coup as chelsea raid accrington stanley for top crawley town target

[urban fox]

Chelsea could be investigated for breach of FFP due to use of long contracts to attempt spread of cost through amortisation.

Apparantly there is a uefa rule that states maximum contract length must not exceed 5 years. Chelsea are claiming that the contracts under question are five years with options to extend.

If they go after Chelsea for it, Chelsea could easily start pointing at a lot of other clubs that have given contracts longer than 5 years to players

Haven't we just given Kristiansen a 5 and a half year contract

Well, if the contracts are 5 years then thats what should be used when Amortising?

Yep. That's what got me thinking when I read the article. Presuming that as it's a January transfer it is permitted to extend to the end of a season to bring into line with the normal.

RB Salzburg have signed Oscar Gloukh, FFS.

What happened to the Anthony Gordon transfer thread 😂
