I cannot believe all this optimism when we've signed someone from Southampton and Joe bloody Hart! Maybe step back and see the bigger picture. This is a serious reduction in ambition for the club. Balance is necessary but getting all giddy when we've made a couple of average signings is nuts. I wanna see what some of you write IF we get our second choice striker.
You do know that at last count, out of 95 ratings only 7 agree with you?

Ballanced. Capital B. Double L. Twice.
Think the negative ratings on this are harsh. It was meant to be in reply to Trix’s comment and I’d noticed that he’d done it too.
Trix is a bit of an anomaly for ITK’s in that his messages are fairly coherent, so I thought it was interesting that he miswrote it too. Writing it Ballanced, with two L’s made me think it could be a subtle hint to Callum Wilson?
Now tbf I didn’t think it was interesting enough to comment on myself originally, but sure what harm?‍♂️?

If Wilson’s knees are held together by sticky tape and blue tac... why are we even contemplating signing him ?

I agree fully. We slready have a problem keeping Kane fit for a full season without having a back up striker who could be in the treatment room before him. I know he's prem experienced but it should be at least some cause for concern.

Ta. Was only having a bit of fun. I replied to a reply so as not to derail the actual info. A bit taken aback it hadn't been pounced on already! Not going to propose names as thats against the rules, no?

Think it’s ok since Hercules is talking about him openly up above?

Its better than signing no one! And if you took a step or two back you would see that there is no one in the stadium!

Great ITK but how can we not be able to raise the 30m plus fee for Sabitzer? It's criminal. That kind of fee is not even considered alot in this day and age.

In a normal season you might have a point, but covid 19 and missing out on champions league football has cost the club hundreds of millions of pounds. This isn't the thread to get into it though.

Is that where we are now?! Levy has set expectations so low that we will take crumbs. If you took a step back you would see there is no one in Chelsea's stadium either...they have signed some great players for next season and are in talks for a 90m rated German.

They also have a billionaire owner who has more money than sense, treats the club as a play thing and knows that covid means there are no FFP restrictions this year so he is using it as an opportunity to invest in the squad. we don't have the same luxury we are run as a business some people might not like that but its reality and you could always support Chelsea (I almost puked typing it) I am really liking the approach Trix and Herc say we are taking it shows our manager is capable of being flexible and addressing the needs of the team in the ways that are possible and if we could find a way to make the 30m+ for sabitzer work things would be really well set for the season. I loved Poch but this is something he wouldn't do and is what ultimately cost him in the end.

So you only post messages on here that people are supposed to agree with? Interesting echo chamber you have here. Open your mind son, you may learn something (y)
Erm, I was going to retort, but seeing as you are new, lets leave it at that
