You mean like bidding £50m and offering to pay him 200k p/w in wages?

well, even if we did, we wouldnt have got him anyways.

But, if we could have done, and afforded it, and he would have wanted to join, then yeah....why not!

Of course, but the difference is that Ollie has more skills than just being fast. I'm not convinced Werner does. Nearly all his goals with Leipzig were on the counter when he'd beat a high line and run in behind it and get a one-on-one. When Werner isn't attacking on the counter he doesn't offer a whole hell of a lot.

One of the most important things I use to judge a footballer's quality is his first touch. Unfortunately, Ollie doesn't have a good enough first touch imo.

He had a Scott Hogan burst of form in RBL system. Has been found out for Chelsea and Germany since he hasnt made much impact in tournaments

Huh?! In four seasons of top tier football at leipzig he had the following goal to game ratios:-

1:1.48;

1:2.46;

1:1.88 and

1:1.21

That's better than 1 goal every 2 games in 3 out of 4 seasons. He also averages 1:2 for Germany.  Scott Hogan had a purple patch for half a season in the Championship. Hardly compable.

Tim should be the first back up to Kamara. Gerrard has already spoken extremely highly of him. The new CM signing will be to replace McGinn’s starting position. Leaving Mcginn and ramsey to fight it out for the final spot. 

McGinn is captain - he will not need to fight for his guaranteed spot in the team

Its extraordinary how chelsea are signing ANOTHER left-back and this time for £62 Million!! but already have Chilwell who cost £50Million… ladies and gentlemen thats £112m !! on left backs alone, now look at how much our central midfield cost

kamara- free

Luiz- £15m

Mcginn - £3.5m

Ramsey - free

Sanson - £16m

Tim O - Free

Marv - £11m 

 

£45 Mill spread across 7 players in that area and still not even HALF the amount chelski spent on those two for that less in-demand position… MADNESS!!!!

 

chilwell and cucurella is just damn right greedy and ridiculous i mean there really is no need for both … BUT thats how you build world class squads however in this instance that wasn’t done correctly and maybe problematic in the long run

If they are spending that on Cucurella then they are stupid.

That midfield you list has two academy players, a top rated free transfer who would have easily cost 30m plus if a fee had to be paid.

Then we have a top clubs youth player now fully established and someone we got for a bargain in the championship.

The other two are fodder that the club would no doubt like to sell.

A better metric would be what would the first four in your list cost if they all had a standard 3 year contract, I would suggest right now well in excess of 100m.
