Yep the 6th place team just loaning out their best striker when they're in europe...
They'll be the next one from there to go for 100m as his potential is huge if he can get over his injuries.

I feel both these angles. Yes, we need to start targeting and scouting better for younger prospects on lower outlays. We are doing the cost effective thing with relegation squads looking to clear books, loans and frees and assuring a level of competency. That gig has limits though when we don't start garnering returns from sell ons. Ive pounded all summer u23 names across europe quoted for under 15 million. I still think thats the best longterm strategy or at least should be more apparent in our business.
I also though do agree that if thats not going to be done, I welcome a Gnonto deal (especially in the current context of the player leveraging a sell) then the run of the mill veteran add. You would hope we would have the scouting to target a similar player prior to an england move. That said its still a possible value regardless even if its not a steal from the context. Leeds are getting their hand pushed. The player wants to come. I think it would have merit. But it depends ultimately on the fee.

I just look at the Moise Kean business differently. First it was a logical bet, he was a pedigree prospect in the world at the time. Second there weren't any favors on our end considering our dysfunction.
But more importantly we made profit albeit a small sum. The point is that even in a largely miss of a transfer his age and upside was enough for us to recoup the funds. Something that couldn't be said for the majority of our other business.
Moise isnt a cautionary tale. That extends to half the squad and how they were acquired before it does to him. They may be better than him, but the rationale of investing younger with upside is demonstrated by Kean's eventual return.
And of course theres a reality that we repeat the model and triple the initial amount invested. But even in our negative experiences (Vlasic, Lookman etc) they have been less costly than the myriad of players we have simply waited to expire off the books.
As for Gnonto the antics that are taking place are helping us in negotiations. He is using the leverage he has. I wouldn't take that as anything but a help in us acquiring the player.

Simon Jordan was saying with the legnth of contracts they are handing out apparently it works out to 75m on the 600m they spent last season and the 300m this season works out at 60m or so. Dodgy as fooooook though
Sky have them at just over 870 million spent since Boehly, how the hell is that an even playing field?

I think the issue has been partially that but also where we do spend a few bob on players we see no appreciation in value down to their development or performances because the team are often struggling. Perfect world we do well in scouting AND coaching, but we seem to do well in neither so pay probably the largest transfer fee that the player in question will ever see for themselves. No appreciable resale value (Certainly outside of Gana, Stones, Lukaku that I can think of)
Sorry to hear it m8 !!

I presume this is Chelsea taking a huge risk that the players they buy are going to bring success to the club, because 20-30 players all on 7-10 year contracts is eventually going to catch up with them if they don't.
Just like Gnonto
Sorry but you're heading down a wormhole here .
Nobody is suggesting we become the best in world football and sign the best players not even close to that .
We are asking as paging customers that the business we invest in is ran correctly, that is all we currently want and require everything else comes after that .
The only way to do this is to keep building pressure on the current regime . I'd this is being and entitled brat then yes many of us are in your world an entitled brat.
Not this season, We've finally realised we don't want to be spending any available cash on a Championship Stadium.
