at least our Anthony is half the money of the Man Utd one

it's not the worst deal money wise with regards to Anthony's

How much does it cost to have Anthony Taylor in our back pocket? Whatever it is please Mr. Boehly pay, pay and don't speak.

We sold Papy Diljiobogy for £10m. He’s the model of profitability!

Jeez thought I’d slipped into an alternate dimension reading that.  We actually did, 400% profit!  And people said Marina was useless.  Most underwhelming to most profitable transfer.

Mason Mount?, the same Mason Mount who has a transfer value of £91m (Statista, 2022), first team regular for England, over a 100 games at the highest level for club and an assist-winner in a CL final?, that Mason Mount?

Mate, don’t make me laugh by comparing Gordon with him. Gordon ran around for 50 games in an Everton shirt, showed a lot of ‘effort’ and could press, now he’s worth £60m with despite having no end product  😅🤦‍♂️ money laundering.. simple & plain.

Does seem odd but money laundering when it seems to be Tuchel driving this move?

 
I keep telling myself this can't be true.  Just had lunch with an Everton fan who couldn't stop laughing at this.

If Anthony is worth 60 million, ain’t Broja about £80 million, he’s scored Twice as many goals, ?

Exactly.  It seems we are the only clubs that do realistic when it comes to people trying to buy our players.  They bid normal but when we want to bid for their players they set release clause prices. 

I just can't get excited about this signing maybe just because we have more than a few young ones ourselves with equally good potential.  Rather than spending money buying another teams young player to develop why don't we focus our energy on improving and developing ours.

The United Antony is 70 million above his value we are only paying 30 million above value

Antony has CL experience to boot, has way more goals & potential than Gordon. Let’s not try to justify the Gordon deal..lol

 
This is one of the most baffling pursuits I can remember since @Nibs left a solitary rose on Thora Hird's doorstep.

A crazy gamble at that price and we've had more of those than Paul Merson.

Offer Pulisic to Utd in exchange for Ronaldo and let's revisit the striker hunt next summer.

what about that American defender 

he deserves a shout

Our American forward was far more uninspiring a signing.

Probably the worst I've felt about a signing since it was clear he was going to be our Hazard replacement and he was less talented than Edens siblings!

Thorgan was massively outperforming him in the Bundesliga at the time, thought we'd have brought him back due to us apparently having a buyback clause when he was at Gladbach.

I never really feel uninspired when we sign a cheap player that will likely never make the squad, football is a business and we've brought in hundreds of players over the years to fill the loan army or just never make it. They're forgettable.

It's when we spend big money on players that are clear downgrades on what we have or haven't shown anything to suggest they're Chelsea standard you really put your head in your hands.

Someone with a price tag of 60M has to start, whose spot is he going to take? Based on his characteristics, expect him to be an end to end winger, allowing James freedom to do his things, and press opposition all game. Similar to Dirk Kuyt of Liverpool back in the days, get 5-7 goals a year but all his team mates loves his work rate and commitment.
