Exactly, he is weeks behind the rest of us calling him that.
I can only see one outcome from this signing. Calvert-Lewin, Lookman, Vladic and the other youngsters won’t get a game and will leave. We didn’t need new wide forwards so much as to not play Rooney, Sigurdsson and Schneiderlin together, who are slow enough to make BFS look swift. We needed pace and a bit of craft in the midfield.
There does seem to be a different financial model operating now whereby spending is limited to revenue from player sales. Should get in £150M when Hazard goes in the summer.
Manager and owner clearly not getting along so Roman keeping the purse strings tight until the summer.
Be interesting to see who they go for to replace Conte - Simeone looks favourite given they have already had Mourinho (twice) and Ancelloti.
Carroll and Crouch are not good enough by a country mile. If the people in charge of transfers at Chelsea can’t see that then we are in big trouble.
Dzeko is another one along with fullback Emerson who are not top draw but decent reserves. Barkley scored twice in a runout the other night and might start at Brighton. Babayako, Drinkwater and Batty are average players that cost a fair chunk of money and it seems that we are tightening our belts as our stadium (permission now granted) will cost a Billion pounds.
