Wernot gonna get him

[737Max]

He’s worth the fee though, and would have been a very good signing. You can hope he’ll fail at Chelsea but its written in the oil covered stars that he’ll be a success..

He's only worth the fee if he bangs them in, he wasnt great at Stuttgart initially.

Chelsea have a questionable success rate when it comes to strikers. Only Drogba, Anelka, Hazard and Costa you could say have been good buys.

But then they've bought forwards like Kezman, Crespo, Shevchenko, Torres, Kalou, Lukaku, Sturridge, Falcao, Morata, Mutu, Batshuayi, Ba, Eto'o.

We are not going to pay Werner £180k a week to sit on the bench when we still have the likes of Origi, Shaq and Minamino covering the front three. It makes no sense from a playing or financial perspective. We still need left back cover for Robertson. It wasnt worth blowing £50m of our transfer budget for a non priority position

They'd probably cost what Werner would have cost. If not more. There's no chance.

Both combined you mean?

Why is everyone going on about how good Chelsea are? They're 34 points behind us and 21 off relegation. Shite

And they're buying offensive players when they need defenders.

As for assuming were skint based on nothing but not signing Werner (see @Halmeister) I'd argue the opposite.

But it's not just based on that. The basic briefing FSG have put out is that because of the loss of revenue during lockdown and beyond, the club is not in a financial position to make any significant signings, or any signings at all, this summer. Now that's straight out of the Sybil Fawlty School of the Bleeding Obvious if it refers to now, but I still think it's assuming way too many variables to extend that statement into the autumn or beyond. If they're honest, no top league club has much of a clue what things will be like once this season is over. If you're rational you surely look at the most plausible scenarios, make a set of alternative plans, but keep open to how things may or may not develop.

No. Wolves are rich, and any reports I've seen for Traore have him priced at upwards of £50m. You might have been able to get both for £50m about 10 years ago, like.

 

[Hansern]

I think Neves will cost more than Traore as well.

 

[Red Bird]

Sane looks as if he's available 🙂

Fwank is keegan in disguise. *taps nose*

That thirty four point cushion will come in dead handy if they become really good next season
