Let's All Laugh At... Let's all laugh at Chelsea thread

[RichieS]

Pan. They’re replacing him with Son for £80m.

Is that an actual "news" story? The best thing about such a rumour these days is that there is literally no reason for any of our players to make such a move. Tee hee.

 

[rossdapep]

Let's hope Chelsea rinse Madrid for his signing so that they can't afford Levy's Eriksen price.

 

[Hakkz]

Your right i'm not. The longer we stay in the title race, and hang on to the coat tails the more it may persuade eriksen to re-sign. Making the semi-final of the CL might be enough. Big asks really.

Doubt one year success will make him sign a new long term contract.

 

[al_pacino]

Don't think he would have signed, Chelsea paid his agent £6m

He'd have probably gone to City if Chelsea didn't win the CL. We may have had a small chance but it would've been a massive transfer fee and wages that we've only just started to pay.

As Son is doing well, you can 100% guarantee they will be making up stories about him being sought by other clubs. You're right, its so tediously obvious.

Salary x3 is always an incentive otherwise no one would move to China.

Hazard has said in the past that he would have joined us if we hadn't missed out on the champions League.

I don't believe him.

Hazard has said in the past that he would have joined us if we hadn't missed out on the champions League.

But would the club have had the money?

Spurs didn't pay the Hazard fee on a player for another 4 years and the wages he would've been on probably even longer still.

I feel the same about Luis Suarez too. All the talk of is of Les and Tim giving the thumbs down but when it comes to it would we have payed the money in a January window.

Suarez only cost them £20 million didn’t he. That was the major bollock dropped by us. Him in that team would have won us the league.

Wikipedia (I know) has it nearer £23m which is about 5m more than we had paid before and wouldn't get to until Bale was sold. It was also a bit more complicated as he was suspended for one of his toothy incidents.

I suppose my main point is that it is always taken for granted that he was ours if the scouts gave the thumbs up but IMO it was still a difficult deal to do.

Possibly, but he might have ended up cannibalising the rest of the squad.

Why was it a difficult deal to do? The bindippers had no problems doing it

All these deals are 'difficult to do' for one reason and one reason only, 'we wont pay as much as others are offering.'
End of.
Do that and these 'difficulties' magically disappear.

This.

We may have wanted him, he might have been looking for schools for his kids in Enfield but we still would've needed to break our transfer record by a long way, and that is the difficulty.

Not necessarily. If we were going to sign someone, especially if they were high profile, it's likely that the club or agent would approach other bigger teams, who, if they'd choose to, would offer more.

The problem is not just that we don't spend enough, it's that the opposition always have more resources. And that will always become apparent one way or another.

Even if we did manage to make some big signings, it'd just prompt the others to spend big again next window.

I'm not trying to be pessimistic, I just think there's some sound reasoning behind our approach.

You've contradicted yourself.

'The problem is not just that we don't spend enough, it's that the opposition always have more resources'.

So the difficulty is we dont spend enough then lol!!!
If the opposition are spending more to get their man, and you arent, your not spending enough are you?
The reasons behind that are irrelevant.
I get it, we cant compete.
I'm just saying the problem or 'difficulties' are money, end of.
Its not he didnt join Spurs due to parking restrictions or the colour of the toilet walls.
Just be nice if we heard 'they offered more money' instead of the bullshit.

Because, unlike Ferdinand, Redknapp & Dim Sherwood, they didn't go to watch him and (bizarrely) believe that he was too similar to VdV, and they could make use of his talents?
