Wee Baby Seamus
Yo, Goober, where's the meat?
wasn't he captain?Not that moving his wages is nothing, but it’s crazy they couldn’t negotiate even a nominal fee with the Saudis of all people.

He was last season, but he’s way past it. The guy can’t move anymore.wasn't he captain?
Good, it made no sense to swap him and (checks notes...) leave us with one striker...
It seems that Fiorentina have an agreement with Reims for Amir Richardson, I know he is a very good prospect but I have seen practically zero of him. I don't know, I would have preferred Tessmann, but his agents are acting like bandits having insisted on commissions. The same thing happened with Inter who immediately dropped the player for this very reason.
Tessmann's agents messing up two moves in one summer. Probably why Venezia are asking a pretty reasonable fee for one of their top players.
Solanke is better than Richarlison, but I love him on Spurs, so I am glad he's staying. He's one of those loudmouth punks who thinks he's better than he really is.Good, it made no sense to swap him and (checks notes...) leave us with one striker...
He'd still be in a favela somewhere if he didn't.Solanke is better than Richarlison, but I love him on Spurs, so I am glad he's starting. He's one of those loudmouth punks who thinks he's better than he really is.
Forget Slonina. If they are dropping 20m on a goalie a week after they signed Jorgensen then Jorgensen better watch his back. They’ve spent nine figures on keepers. Just another one to throw on the pile. Just another one that probably doesn’t have a path. Just like Slonina. Nothing but a toolChelsea seem to have lost some confidence in Slonina given this:
It can only make sense if you think of it in terms of building an asset portfolio, because that is how they are thinking of it.Someone have it make sense for me.
You know you'll get an immediate profile boost from signing (helpful in future career moves), and worst case scenario is that they end up on loan in another top league from which they can hopefully bounce off to a solid club on a permanent.I’d love to know what these players see in it. Aren’t they all just signing incentive-laden deals? What difference does that make if they’ll never play at Chelsea?
The young ones are probably cheap enough where it's not all incentives. And in all honesty, we do a decent job of moving them on, so it'd not like their is a history of just killing careers.I’d love to know what these players see in it.

Why buy one when you can buy 5. Worst case they only increase a bit in value and you make a little $$ when you sell them off. Best case, one or two of them hit and then you better the team or make a lot more $$.Someone have it make sense for me.
It’s classic private equity strategy. Buy a ton of companies you think can grow. Some will, some won’t. Hit big enough on the hits and shed the misses for some cash flow.Someone have it make sense for me.
