What we've also learned is we do the groundwork and test the water before effectively agreeing what the price is. Remember early in the window we were told Isak 'wasn't for sale' and we had one or two low bids rejected? Well, we circled back and got him. I fully suspect that the same may happen with Diaby and the CHO move, for me, isn't just a coincidence.

So I think the final two moves of the window are almost certainly Gallagher (loan) and Diaby bought for around £45m.

This is what I'm hoping re Diaby. Bad start for Leverkusen this year and he's apparetnyl grumbling... We've already been in negotiation for him early in the window and he was pretty much target #1. I can't see us getting him for as little as that however... we'd probably have to match what we paid for Isak.

Connor Gallagher would be the standout option from Chelsea if we are able to sign Diaby or another winger.
 
I have no idea if we are done or if the owners have seen what's happened and think there's a chance of top 6 and decided to go for it and we will buy a couple more

I'm really calling it we will be top 6 if we add one of either Maddison or Diaby.

Exciting times ahead.

Don't think we will get one of these (I was part of the 60M brigade though so what do I know!)

Regardless, I've not been this excited in a very long time
