and... go on...

When you shop in the reduced isle, you normally get stuff that's decent enough for a dinner. Thanks for making my point.

Yo may and its a very valid point. Sadly, if we hadnt signed so many other players for eye watering fees, we may not have needed to sign a freebie. Tosin, i wish him nothing but the best, Will cheer him on at the ground, but 3 seasons in Fulhams defence hasnt hasnt led to an england call up or a multi million pound transfer and he has found his way to us. He's chelsea now.

You're right.... let me give you some recent ones... Malang Sarr arrived with Silva on a free.. one did well, the other not so... Rob Green... Will Caballero Drogba from Galatasaray Falcao Danilo Pantic Eto'o and Mark Schwartzer For the rest see here. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-chelsea/alletransfers/verein/631 I think for the most part, our free transfers are usually for back up rolls as we can see above. I dont even know who Pantic is...

One more thing, we spent 80 million on a player who hasnt been able to leave an A & E department for the past two years. signed from Liecester... a club lower down the division. Anyhow, back to work, enjoy your evenings.

I must have missed the part where we beat Liverpool to the signing of Tosin and we were throwing cash at it like its Summer 2023 and caicedo all over again. I mean signing a player VVD for 75 million, Mane for whatever it was isnt really a great example, you'd have probably been better off using our clubs transfer of Gary cahill who we signed for 7 million from bolton. If Tosin turns out to be Gary Cahill in disguise and he leads us to the same number of titles Cahill did for us, i'll be delighted. But you would do well to remember the duds weve signed on free transfers right.. the sidwells of this world from clubs similar size to Fulham and Southampton... it doesnt always work does it. Until then, or until he proves his worth in the blue, turns in performances with the heart of Cahill or leads by example like Gallagher, i think his aquisition is a downgrade on what we have currently. If we sell Chalobah to fund his arrival, that is also a downgrade on a player. It is up to him to prove us fans wrong and win us over isnt it? Im still waiting on half the players we signed for 1 billion to develop into top class players and push us up the table, signs of progress were there so lets keep it going for next season with the new manager, who probably had no say on this signing - so excuse me thinking we may have signed another dud until proven otherwise.

Shopping for southampton's best players and dropping 100 milion in the process V getting a 26 year old freebie from a side who conceded 2 goals less than us. If that's a valid comparison as you see it... blimey. I'm going to write what I think, like you do. If you think what I say is rubbish, good for you, im happy you think the way you do but i'll politely pass on engaging with it in future. No problems from me.

1. chill out no need to swear. 2. simply stating the fact we're now buying from the reduced section of the supermarket. Is he better than Chalobah who we will more than likely sell to pay for the new arrival. Is this signing better than we already have or coming from a team that conceded two fewer goals than us during our worst defensive season for about 25 years? 3. given how all our signings so far have failed to hit top speed under the new ownership, will this one improve our starting 11...

Shopping from Fulham... which more talented youngster will we sell for this dross.

Didnt really want poch gone, despite some of the horror shows, thought we'd turned a corner but he's gone. Cant say I wanted Maresca, never heard of him before... but, if he can improve Palmer, other players hes coached before, then great. I presume the board think top 4 with this batch of players is a realistic target, hence why poch walked, I think anything less from our new manager than our former manager points tally and league table, ie not getting 4th, should see him executed on the Stamford bridge pitch with the directors. Im sure the fans will let him know exactly what we think of his football after about two months. Simply going to reserve my judgement, hope we look like a runaway train by the end of pre-season. Up the chelsea

Wrap Reece in Cotton wool as he should be given a protected status. Our last truly world-class player. Delighted he isnt at the euros being mismanaged by Southgate. England's loss is CFC's gain next season I hope, should he stay fit over the summer...

Remove the finances to this entire debate and ask is Connor Gallagher a player you would want at Chelsea FC... for me Yes. 100%. He is getting better and better and hasn't missed a game through injury this season when the supposed better players signed for huge money have struggled or not been fit enough to play or train. He is potentially going to play for England alongside Bellingham for England. He should be a nailed-on starter in my first 11 next season alongside Caicedo.

Yo, cheers to be here. Wouldnt be chelsea without a ton of drama, we appear to have increased our manager turnover which is actually a pretty special achievement in beating Roman to that accolade. new man new ideas, same drill as before, got to get behind Maresca or mascara as autocorrect likes to type.
