Same with Saudi Sportswashing Machine selling Osula to Frankfurt for £29m !!!How the hell did Chelsea get Fulham to pay £22m for a 19 year old academy prospect?
Anyone seen Tyrique George, any good?
If it weren't Chelsea, I'd be inclined to go along with you there.Or maybe just maybe it's not all a conspiracy, and there are chairman out there with better contacts/relationships and more capable of getting better deals for sales of players than Daniel Levy.
Heaven forbid....
A decent window for us all told.
I am sure there are some who will be stuck in the "what if we had spent more like Liverpool" for the 20th season in a row
But all in all, not bad at all
Jackson is 24 so if the deal works out they can conceivable get 8 or so years from him.I'm more stunned by them extracting so much money from Bayern for Nicolas Jackson.
Bayern who seemed reluctant to pay the going rate for Harry Kane.
Something fishy's going on there. Some quid pro quo behind the scenes. The only out I see was something from the report in Bild which seemed to say that the obligation to buy is only triggered after a high number of appearances - so please stay fit Harry.
£200m odd. With Joe Gomez also seemingly off, they probably recouped £250m ish.Not sure what Liverpool's outgoings are like, but we have gotten very little back.
I suspect we will hold off on LW as we would rather wait for someone higher up the list to become available (in Jan) or we don't think anyone available is better than we have.

Kane joined aged 30, they actually overpaid for him considering his age.
Have we actually got any fringe players that are worth anything? Liverpool, Chelsea, Saudi Sportswashing Machine even Villa get decent money for their fringe players and we have to terminate contracts and sell for £5m to get rid of ours.
After this season Johnson will be a fringe guy worth something, one of Maddison or Kulu maybe even both. Bentancur might attract an ok fee as well.Have we actually got any fringe players that are worth anything?

100% bites on the arse when we play them

If he’s fit of course
My bad, missed the loan partIf it's a loan, then just say he can't play.
Thats down to the management not just the players.We finished 17th in the league. How much would you want to buy a fringe player from a team that was near relegation?
I would say he’s pants but I know what you are saying. I remember when we signed him and there was some bias about him being a great signing100% bites on the arse when we play them

Yeah, lots of folk automatically took against him and assumed (maybe even wanted..?) that he'd fail simply because of where he's from. Thankfully there didn't seem too much of that on this forum when he joined.I would say he’s pants but I know what you are saying.
