Chelsea Thread - 2022/23 | Pochettino confirmed as new manager

Fofana a £75m punt ?

David Fofana, £10m, 20 year old signed from Molde this month. He came off the bench in our league game against you a few weeks ago.

David Fofana, £10m, 21 year old signed from Molde this month.

Ok, thought you meant the other one..

I can be crazy sometimes but even I wouldn’t be crazy enough to describe a £75 transfer as a punt for the future :)

14 I think. But also lost 9 players. And of the 14 brought in around 5 are just punts for the future really (Casadei,Fofana, Chuku, Hutchinson, Slolina) so when you look at it from that lens, it’s nowhere near as dramatic as it seems.

You sold 9 players

Yeah so in that context the spending spree, although crazy fees in total, is not so crazy when you count the ins and outs over the last two windows.

Another £31M spent this morning and a 6 and a half deal signed

Absolutely taking the piss.
Potter will be sacked before the end of the season, shame such a talent went to such a badly run club.

Christ almighty how much have these buggers spent in this and the previous window. Two fingered salute to UEFA.

They have 33 first team players now.

Got to feel a bit for Potter, he's going to have a lot of disgruntled players unhappy at routinely being on the bench or left out of the matchday squad altogether. Seems like an impossible situation to manage.

Malo Gusto?

Bad Taste if you ask me.
