That and the enormous loan fee for Felix.The Madueke signing is a big whatever but I'd be happy about all the rest, fees aren't your problem to deal with. Madueke is very fragile so we'll see how that goes.
There’s been murmurs that Felix really has enjoyed his early time here and that there is an understanding that they will make a deal happen if both Felix/Chelsea want it…
… but it still doesn’t make sense from a foresight perspective given the positional overlap with current players & the fee paid
and we have nkunku coming in the summer as well
still funny that before his first half, the two most threatening attacking performances prior were lukaku v arsenal and pulisic’s 2020 bubble performances (e.g. liverpool).
Both? The only competitor in any of the winter deals was Arsenal for MM, and it’s not like there was a substantial difference in the fees offered.Chelsea spent more money than any other team has ever spent in a single transfer window. And they did it twice in back to back windows (only Real Madrid in summer 2019 spent more than they did this past summer). So to be clear, they have 2 of the 3 highest spending windows of all time.
Were they given a free run or just unlimited resources to overpay for players?
