He has spent. He has spent well over the odds on mediocre players at times. He hasn't been quite as crazy in the last few summers since Chelsea went mad (he hasn't had to, he's spent like crazy in the past so now he's got a great team).. Chelsea has spent more by themselves than all but two entire countries in Europe. They've spent more than any two other clubs in England.... And they're still going.
Of course he spent and as you say sometimes well over the odds for mediocre players, all managers have at some point. We bought Van de Beek and Antony, you bought Nunez and Gakpo. All players that can probably do a PL job for a team but not for teams of the standard they are at.
He's loving it - he's found someone who spends even more ridiculous sums of money than he and thinks it justifies him. Like a serial killer who's murdered five people pointing to someone who's killed ten and saying "Look, I'm not so bad after all". In the same way he tries to manufacture false jeopardy to distract from the fact that he's had every advantage going.
Also didn't break record for a defender but spent like 250m for part of his back line in a year so he's isn't too shy with the money.
He's pointing out that when he spends it produces results, The same can't be said for some other managers.
Of course he isn't, 4 fullbacks at £50m a piece to get it right is not to be laughed at. The thing is he moved the two mistakes out early and put it right to great affect. The man is a great manager and should not be dismissed or ignored.
No doubts over his qualities as manager but he's being somewhat amusing by being the 2nd highest spender now that Chelsea are playing monopoly whilst being their own banker
It's Chelsea mk2 on market inflation. Similar situation happened in mid 00s when the other rich fella flexed his ruski cheque book.
We are now being linked with a permanent transfer for Arthur but face competition with another unnamed premier League club. I probably should specify this is not Arthur Melo but Arthur Theate, a centre-back. Arthur Melo and Arthur Theate would make a whole footballer.
He broke the most spend in one window back in 2017 Pretty sure he broke the transfer record for full back when he signed Walker for 51m and then mendy for 52m in same summer?
too much for a very limited player compared to the others we've seen. all I have seen is a lot of lunging tackles which suggest a lack of positional awareness
there was one who he cost £50m who he clearly decided was ****e in the first few weeks and was rarely seen again and as per the norm at the time with City was sold for £20m and another bought for £5om.
absolutely. if you are not trying it on with 55mil going for bang average deluded little ****heads like lavia who will say anything they are told they more fool you as a club.
let's not forget walker the rapist angelo cancelo zinchenko Danilo, oft forgotten he then decided full backs are passe and decided to buy crap wingers like sane, mahrez, sterling, grealish and of course torres
