I mean we were pretty fvcked with the points deduction.

 

Signings like De Cordova-Reid & Jordan Ayew just seal it.

 

They are championship signings.

Others could say they're 'safe' signings due to their respective experience in the league?..

Have we signed Ayew?

In hindsight I think they picked up some good talent. Sold Lavia for 50 mill and I’m sure they have good young players that if sold will return a huge profit? 

They spent 120m

 

Lavia cost them £19m so 31m profit, one of the few successes.

 

If you look at the other they will be lucky to make there money back, most struggled in the Championship or end up on loan and didn't set the world on alight.

I'm pretty sure we were after Bowen for a couple of years but never pushed hard enough/he chose West Ham. A proper signing and someone that was staring clubs in the face. Championship needs to be an area that we dip into more! Maguire, Maddison and even to a certain extent JJ who was league 1 when we signed him!

Wasn’t it alleged that Rudkin/Scouts deemed Bowen as “too slow”?

 

In our current model, he’s too young for us now and needs another 3/4 years to build up his PL experience 🙈

Good signing for them, anyway let’s keep pushing for Ayew! 😂

[Sly]

Chelsea seem to have picked up a decent goalkeeper in Mike Penders. He looks like the sort of Gk that is comfortable with the ball at his feet and is capable of making a save.

Brilliant signing and a bargain.

£5.8m transfer fee apparently.

[Haywood_6]

This transfer window is getting more frustrating by the day. Other clubs seem to be making some great deals, we're left behind as usual.

[SafewayFox]

Not sure if it’s been posted already but Palace apparently are about to sign Ismaila Sarr from Marseille for £12.5m.

 

Not sure what they paid Watford but he’s only 26 and that would have excited me a lot more than a bargain bin Ayew at 33 (in September).

[KFS]

When do we as fans try to make a collective point about the lack of speed in these dealings? Why does it take Jon and his merry band of people weeks to lug toward a 3 year deal for a 33 year old washed player? 
 

We used to be looked at as an organisation to emulate. Now we feel like we’re devoid of ideas and just get in our own way. 

[ClaphamFox]

Obviously we were never going to sign him, but it’s still gutting that he’s probably going to West Ham. A few years ago we were probably a more attractive option…

This is annoying we make room by taking Ayew so they can get Sarr at a low price.  Can't we just go for Sarr?

Our demise will be documented in many business studies at universities in years to come, I genuinely believe it.

 

Look at how forward thinking we were with sports science, data led scouting (what made us take the plunge on Kante and probably many others) yet that was all done by Rodgers and Congerton with Rudkin acting like a little fan boy.

Probably means we get Reiss Nelson

I don't think we can match the wage demands, even on loan.

Ah probably a good thing in the end really!

[K789]

Summer ville to WHU for 25 mill is good business.  Makes me think we did well getting 30 mill for kdh

[JimJams]

 

It'd be nice if this had legs, cos Bournemouth are about the only club that's been interested in Daka since we signed him.

[Grebfromgrebland]

Why would that be nice, then we'd be without our striker as well.

[splinterdream]

i think we've conceded we're going to get relegated before a ball is even kicked, likely due to te points deduction. Looks to me we've decided to take the years money and hope for the best.

It's a shame the club can't make a statement, but i guess there's not alot they can say without making matters worse.

Chelsea could play a different keeper every day of the week and still have one left over

 

Mad football club

Cos we could do something mental like spend the money we made on the sale.
