Chelsea spending big again. COVID clearly having no economic effects in West London.

It’s exciting times buying new players. I can’t deny it’s a little frustrating the reds not joining in. Still time yet, 1 established player to come in and freshen things up a must for me. Also CB cover needed

How many windows were they banned from buying? Sold hazard and morata during that time

Allow 50 million a window say... Plus the £200 incomes from sellings

They have serious cash to spend

Think Lampard and the hierarchy have done some excellent business. Just need to get them to gel and play as a unit from the start. I think they could be a real challenge to Liverpool and City

Perish the thought a club should buy the title ??

Maybe they don't need to. It isn't compulsory.

Strong team, youngsters coming through.

On another note, Callum Wilson to Newcastle for £20m. If he stays fit that looks a good buy for them. Finally a striker in the team after playing a full season without one :D

Not only him but Ryan Fraser, plus Jamal Lewis from Norwich, a good young left back. Unlike Newcastle to strengthen so wisely! :LOL:

I know, my son is feeling very unnerved by it :D. The defence is pretty sound but they lacked a LB, midfield bodies and a striker. They have done well so far, they also picked up Hendrick from Burnley on a free which is a good signing for them. They are only aiming for mid table so this should give them enough.
 
I really don’t see what the fuss is about Wilson. Granted 20m is peanuts nowadays. But with last aside from one good season, he averages 7 goals in the league Each season. Be that form or injury. Last season he actually played lots for a team imo far More creative than Newcastle.

Last season Bournemouth were shocking, season before that he managed 16 goals. Yeah he's had injury problems. I think Newcastle is about his level (where Bournemouth were before last season). He's better than Joelinton so that makes him a good signing.

Bmouth were the same as always really. Kamikaze defending and creative, imo it could be argued he contributed to their downfall as his goal returns halved.....

Obv he’s better than what they have, and at 20m it’s a snip, but I’ll be surprised if he gets 15 goals again.

I think he could do. They've confirmed Ryan Fraser as well now. Remember those two linking up well before Fraser jacked it in.

Top scorer for Newcastle last season, Almiron with 8 ?. Joelinton scored 4. If he gets into double figures he will have improved the team. His movement should also help them and create space for Almiron and St Maximim.

If he can stay fit he will improve them but I accept that is not saying much ?
