People rightly say that Rickie took us from League One to the Premier League, but Pellè’s goals not only kept us there but gave us our two consecutive highest placings.
Will be interesting to see how quickly they all gel together as they seem to be almost signing a whole new team. 3/4s of a defence and 2/3rds of an attack and a new central midfielder. Would expect more than half there first team to ultimately be new signings but probably not on the first day On paper it puts our team and squad to absolute shame. But that is what years of investment gets (subsidised by the tax payer of course). Doesn’t look like JWP will ultimately get in their team as you would assume a pivot of Alvarez and Rodriguez with Kudus in front. But maybe some games won’t need both of those playing
Broja, Chalobah and Lukaku have been barred from using the Chelsea first team facilities until the sort their moves to new clubs out.
We can spunk 22m on Sulemana, but couldn't stretch an extra £5m after a cheekily low opening offer for an arguably better player (and still at a lesser price than what we paid for KS.) Classic Saints
I'm sure we could have offered the same as Brentford (unless we're really screwed with PSR) but he would be silly to pick us over them.
