The saudis have their own banks. Sure a few of the players and staff have accounts with them that get topped up every now and then. Tax free ofcourse.
Or get s place on a board of one of the million companies they own.

Dibling and Delap are championship players as it stands, so hopefully we'll offer some progression from that for them.

Them 2, Mitchell from Palace on a free, and a competent manager, and i'll be happy

Your fascination with Dibling … why? He has looked bang average every time I have seen him play. Delap looks good though

Well we probably thought they'd be tempted given the CL money they'll receive....problem is they now need to avoid relegation. Not gonna splash that kind of money if relegated PLUS Gil himself probably wouldn't be keen if they're in LaLiga 2

Shame as he is weak as tinkle so maybe the 2nd division in Spain might suit him

Madrid, Athletico. Madrid haven’t spent any significant money for years they must have money burning a hole in their pockets. Other than the Bellingham fee Madrid haven’t spent Chelsea money in a long time and buy 1 big signing per season. Bellingham being £100m, Endrick being £40m, Tchuomeni(sp) was £80m but take into consideration the money they got for sales, the last 5 years they have pretty much been in the green. Add to that Champions League wins, League wins etc they have plenty of cash to spend.

Athletico seem to be opening the purse wider nowadays aswell.

Madrid stopped spending big money on older pkayers
They got badly burned with hazard and have massively backed off
They would (imo) prefer a young player with a bigger upside
They have been linked with Huijsen from Bournemouth and also the lad in Portugal whose name I’ve forgotten
Atletico are an option as they throw money around that they don’t have.

Someone should tell them that approach lacks ambition

Well… they may win nothing this season so clearly it’s a failure
They should sack the manager and replace everyone

The Chris Waddle vibes. Plus we really need an indirect wide player to balance the plethora of direct ones we have. And he's right-sided, which is very unusual these days.

We don’t have any direct wide players other than Odobert, we don’t need another turn back and pass sideways winger. His stats are shocking aswell.

I would call Johnson, Tel and Son all direct. Yang looks it too. Whereas I would see only Odobert and Moore as indirect - players with a trick and pass.
