Chelsea Thread - 2023/24

I doubt it will be that much. If it is, then we have to walk away.

It was actually reported that they wanted 120m

It certainly hurts to see some of our players leave, and especially when they go to direct rivals (Kova, Kai, Mount).

But the reality for us is that we haven't been competitive (ie challenging for the title) for a good few years now.

And whilst I probably wouldn't have opted for a scorched earth policy had we still had Roman in charge, what's happened has happened, and as such we need a hard reset, and this is what we're getting.

High risk? Definitely. Fortune favours the brave, I hope.

Ah yes. To dare is to do.

I thought FIFA/UEFA had put a stop to that?

what happened to Mendy? Sold for 16m. Thought he a was a top goalie apart from injuries last year.

Maybe. To be honest it's hard to get your head around the game plan.
