What 3 attacking players are you signing for 16.5 mill each mate?
Kudus on loan, £30m on a very good striker from abroad (not my job to say who, but that money buys you quality if you shop in the Bundesliga or France), £15m on a Gordon replacement from abroad. That money will go far.

£15m disappears into thin air.
 
The thing that we need to accept is that is we lose Gordon it will be a long time before we get another world class player/prospect at the club. Frank had wanted to build the team around him but that looks like it might not happen now. If he goes I'll wish him well and cheer on McNeil and Gray in the hope that they can make the step up to a higher level. If we can get to Bramley Moor with a healthy balance sheet that might be the point that we can really kick on.
 
Didn’t start looking at forwards until Dominic Calvert-Lewin got injured, from our own manager’s mouth, but yeah sure, they have a plan.
For a team which struggled to score last season, and after selling our top goal scorer, Kev though the most appropriate purchase was Dwight McNeil who has scored 7 in his career - which is 2 more than Richarlison first full season in England
 

Absolutely mental innit. He was out a huge chunk of the season, and they put all their eggs in the "there's no way that'll happen again" basket.


The one thing they didn't want to happen...

We are simply not a competent football club, and nothing has changed over the course of the summer despite Moshiri’s intern’s crap template email in July.
 
Surely if we sell him for £60m on top of the richarlison fee we no longer have to penny pinch because of FFP ? Or are we penny pinching because big uzzy isn’t allowed to give us any money anymore ?
It was reported that our pre-tax losses for 2018-19, 2019-20 and 2020-21 were £112 million, £140 million and £120 million, which comes to a total of £372 million.

I’m not sure Gordon is even the best prospect currently at the club.

Gordon isn't world class player or even showing signs that he could become a top quality player in the Premier League. For some reason Chelsea seem desperate to take a punt on him because he works hard and has a lot of pace. We all watch him on a weekly basis and can see him for what he is: desperately lacking in end product and full of hustle and bustle.

He could turn into a decent player with the right coaching and with better players around him, but there's a reason why almost the entire football world is gobsmacked at Chelsea throwing that money at him. I imagine if he wasn't English they wouldn't be interested in signing him. Players like him are ten a penny; the English tax has trebled his value, luckily for us.
 
If we have any intention at all of getting at least a couple forwards in then this has to be sorted out the moment the official bid is lodged. Can't afford to hang around.
