It’s quite funny though. Board meetings at Chelsea must be hilarious. They can basically dispense with a scouting network at this point.

Someone tell Todd we’re getting £40m bids for Cedric :thumbup:
I just hope he’s agreed a massive salary with them because it’s going to suck at the end of the season for him if we end up with a double or treble and he’s left with at best the Conference league to look forward too…I think those qualifiers start in July so it will be just like Ukrainian footie lol
As it turns out Chelsea and Shaktar have done us a favour.
Our priority now is a player who can adapt to our team and style of play quickly and help push us over the line for the title and take a crack at a double or treble.
I get the feeling we’re going so well that ending this with just a league title might seem like an underachievement.
As nice as it would’ve been to have a top young talent join our priority isn’t someone who needs to adapt, needs developing and may or may not be able to make a significant contribution to this season.

Also it won’t have sat well with me that over £20m is going towards funding a war….good or bad side don’t care.
All that bending us over the table over the fee then the cnuts just chuck £20m down the toilet. It’s like the scene in Batman where the Joker burns a big heap of money for the lolz.
You do have to laugh at some of our really **** fans over this transfer not going through. 'Lee Gooner' AKA Cnut Gooner comes to mind. He's been on the rag over us not spunking £100m and monster wages on some unproven player all week. This is the same cnut that complains all season about us spending £30m on Fabio Vieira, a similar aged but more proven player.
I really like Fabio. I wish MA would have more faith like when we were 0-0 vs the Geordies. When they're just defending we could bring him on for GX and hope he does his left foot wand assist trick.
Or for Zinny, and move GX to nominal LB but really tucked in next to TP5.
Or even Ben White and let Fabio and Saka double up on the right.
Hopefully having ESR back will help give us more options.
If Reiss was fit, I'd like to see him practice as a FB for these situations.
And to come on for our wingers etc if the game is as good as one.
