These days if you get given a transfer warchest and immediately spend it on the first striker that comes up when you sort by 'goals: high to low' you get put in prison

The striker also gets put in prison when he doesn't score enough goals

Newcastle fans excitedly checking their phones on christmas morning only to find that the club have bought £80m worth of utility midfielders because their expected value is greater than signing one world class player. It shouldn't be allowed

Could do with an upgrade tbf Jonjos 30 and longstaff is a bit eh

8.5 years lol

What I'm wondering is the wages. On one hand surely Chelsea wouldn't be willing to pay him that much when the contract is that long. On the other, why would he agree to a lowish wage and then commit to it for 8.5 years? With the duration of his contract, even if he comes real good and other teams were interested, there is no way they could pay out his €100m contract with like 5-6 years to go AND give him a huge wage increase right? I guess if he's good enough for PSG maybe but that's about it. Feels likely he'll be stuck on whatever wage he's on now for at least half his career pretty much.

amortisation of the fee over an insanely long time means they can pay way over the odds and have it be fine from an FFP accounting stand point

newcastle are supposedly interested in Sergej Milinković-Savić and while i've barely seen him play he's def an upgrade over sean longstaff

Starting to think this is all just some elaborate chelsea-brighton money laundering operation

It's very funny they waited until after the season started to do most of this so potter has a bigger mess on his hands

Gouffran got signed off the back of a season where he played as a striker instead of a winger and got a bunch of goals. He played as a striker once and scored iirc and was mostly a poo poo winger the rest of the time because he was fast, strong but couldn't cross or pass but could finish

I bumped into him at a newsagents while hungover getting breakfast once while he was on his way to training
