If you set out to buy a steak but instead you buy a turd for £50m, its still a turd and the amount you paid for it wont make it taste more like a steak. The fact that you paid £50m for it just means you are an idiot for buying a turd for £50m. And if our owners are anything, they certainly are idiots.

If not606 has an analogy of the year award this is already the winner <laugh>

Well I am just sick of people saying "You spent over a billion, why do you need more players?" simply, its because they spent a lot of money on **** in recent years, and not just Clearlake, even at the end of the Roman era they were spending big money on players who didnt cut the mustard.
And even the players who turned out to be good, eventually, like Cucurella and Caicedo, they grossly overpaid for them.
Ok Caicedo is a very good player now, but for £105m, I am expecting Zidane levels here.
Thats why I dont go in so hard on players like Nicolas Jackson for example, yeah he doesnt set the world on fire, but we paid £35m for him, and he delivers exactly what I expect a £35m striker to deliver. He can do a decent job, but he aint getting nominated for no Ballon D'ors.
But players like Kepa for example, £72m, for a goalkeeper, who now sits on Arsenals bench as a No. 2 for £5m.....thats bad business.
Mudryk, another £75m for a player who is total dogshit. I mean whatever ****ing "performance enhancing" drugs he was taking clearly werent ****ing working.
If that is him on performance enhancing drugs, then what the **** is he like without them?
Never mind the the football league punishing him, he should be taking his dealer to court for false advertising.
 
Seems like a lot of thought goes into how **** Chelsea are.
Getting better though, by the look of it, thank christ, but that means more spending and more importantly, sensible spending.
Liverpool seem to agree, having, on the back of their PL victory, broken their transfer record fee for Wirtz. Hopefully for you guys he will be worth it (I think he will, for the record).

To be perfectly honest, I think they will try and throw the book at us to make an example and put a shot across the bows of any other club threatening a sustained challenge to the Big 6 ...

... but they'll be coming up against Nick de Marco who will dissect their every move and he really is the dog's bollocks when it comes to this stuff and I suspect he'll negotiate a good outcome for us (whatever that looks like) ...

We won't NEED to sell any of the players we'd actually prefer to keep, with the exception of Bilal El Khanouss ... and if we do sell him we'll likely get a tidy sum given the contract he's on ...

We've already sold our full session ticket capacity of 25,000 which is a good reflection of how the fans see the club right now ... expecting a young vibrant team with a couple of wily old heads retained ... and big clear out of older players really not up to it...
That’s some Matt H logic right there
Well done you have finally got me back in - though I won’t be staying as have covered this enough but
The reason they will try to throw the book at you is simply because you have made them look foolish on 3 occasions (I think - i have actually lost count the times your club have cheated)
I don’t agree it should be cheating I think you should be allowed to do whatever the **** you want as a club but you can’t and there were rules and your club have broken those rules then got away with it on technicalities.

you have pissed them off so if they throw the book at you and you don’t wriggle out of it, it will be for being a bunch of clever arsed slimy slippery bunch of SOB’s that have finally got an ounce of their comeuppance for cheating the system for so long and depriving other well run clubs their chance of success who have followed the rules.

not because of some flat earth level type conspiracy theory that you have cooked up to make your little club ( your words not mine ) look like they have done good <cheers>

A fine post my friend <ok>

Didnt his son and daughter in law visit Portsmouth a couple weeks back?
Did the locals do something to upset Don Jr and now daddy is hitting back?

I reckon they bumped into Libby on a day out to Southampton and he had a word
