by bj27Arsenal fans triggered. I'm also triggered because we don't have money for a midfielder but have 100m for ******* mudryk.
Are these ******s not seeing what I'm seeing

Not really. Think most of us are content to walk away for that kind of money. More worried about our lack of alternatives

Not that I follow Chelsea's squad that closely but after all that money spunked by Boehly, do you feel like you have a more coherent squad of players? Seems like you've bought loads of random players (who are no doubt good) rather than with a plan..?

We have an entire First XI of players currently injured. Most of whom are starter material, it's the classic Mike Tyson quote 'everyone has a plan before they get punched in the face' the punch being a first XI of unavailable players.
On the other hand, where the **** is our midfielder. Yes our wingers take the **** but how can you watch Enzo Fernandez for 5 mins watch us play sidepass after sidepass and think yeah Ukranian dude trying to escape Ukraine by any means is the solution?
That being said I think this spending is calculated and we're just circumventing FFP(not that you need to).
Now the real issue I've got is that now we have so many clubs with big money, everyone owned by a bilionaire, but now we essentially have 6 Abramovich+ wealthy clubs with more along the way, with state interference and pure sportswashing. I am a bit worried that this is the new strategy for the mega rich to have influence over government.

The 'plan' is just to buy the talented and good players, before another teams can do. And to give them a long period contract to get a lot of money for negotiations, if they get better. That is the plan, nothing else. The toxicity on transfer market reached another level.

toxicity on transfer market.
Meanwhile Manchester City can get 400M from Abu Dhabi to change the name of their stadium and nothing happens.
Or Man United can just spend the first 6 years of the PL buying the best player from rival teams Bayern style, or you can ignore that they spent the most money the last decade to win 2 PL titles and no PL titles the last 10 years.
Or Bayern can do that.
Or Juventus can cook accounts and pay off refs.
Swear man everyone hates Chelsea. Only clubs that are actually righteous in the transfer market are Liverpool and Arsenal.
Got literal abhorrent countries buying clubs for political gain and sportswashing yet you wanna get at Chelsea.

Yeah, I got it. The crazy Murdyk transfer is just the cherry on the cake, and it is just a matter of (short) time when this abhorrent business is getting worse. Just waiting for the moment when a player moves to a new club for one billion.

Is Boehly laundering money or something?
Chelsea have signed 19-year-old French right-back Malo Gusto from Lyon for 35m euro (£30.7m). Lyon said the deal includes 5m euro (£4.4m) in add-ons.
Gusto has signed a deal with the Blues until summer 2030 but will complete the current season at Lyon.

No, he just signed a talented player, before other teams can do. So he pays a lot of money to get him and to make it hard for the other football clubs to compete on transfer market. Simple as that.

Need a right back to cover for Reece James being constantly injured and Azpilicueta is washed up.
Getting these signings in now because we're losing CL revenue in the summer. Potter has no excuse not to go for a title challenge next year if he's still here though.

Looking at him, if I was Chelsea I’d be tempted to sack Potter at the end of the season regardless of what happens.
With the bad mood throughout the season, I can’t see him being able to get the players to buy-in when they’ll be looking at him like he’s a gobshite.
The only way I’d keep him as Chelsea is if you end the season on a run of 8 wins out of 10 at absolute minimum.

Not a talented player - it's 6 permanent signings and one loan signing just this January alone.
Plenty of players available who can do a job with the right coaching so it's not stopping other clubs doing business. I think only Mudryk that Arsenal wanted otherwise wasn't much competition for the other players.

If you want someone with energy that's not a snail we have a great player for that, his name is Conor Gallagher.
Worst bit about this is that he's literally free in 6 months.

If Chelsea can't win the Champions League and the Premier League for the next couple of years after spending £600mil+ in the space of 6 months, what is the point of the club existing?
