Both Potter and Macauley scouted and wanted Mudryk for definite. What I'm positive about is the lessons learned from it and not to repeat mistakes again and Potter sounds like he has which I find encouraging to hear.
You said he spent £320 million now it's just Mudryk fact. You know fuck all about fuck all.. 
It was on his watch and they were the players brought in at the time and it's confirmed in reports Macauley had scouted Mudryk prior to him signing for them as just 1 clear example. Potter also spoke enthusiastically about Mudryk and how he'd be great for Chelsea and their fans. 
Glad we've cleared that up, so now you can stop slagging Steiden off, and blame Lopetegui for our summer transfer window.

Moyes spoke enthusiastically about Benrahma, that's what managers do... Doesn't mean he signed him..

Arthur Cabral goes to West Ham

Benfica earns 18 million euros, plus two in bonuses

Image

Arthur Cabral will leave Benfica in the next few hours to sign with West Ham, Record knows. The deal will see the Reds cash in €18m, plus €2m in bonuses.

The Brazilian striker, it is worth remembering, had the chance in recent days to go to Atlanta United, in the MLS, which offered 16 million, plus two for objectives, a deal that ended up not happening.

He was good for Fiorentina I remember, so would be happy to see him here if true for a reasonable amount.

He knows we have money (at least £57M+) to spend but to be mindful on using it more wisely unlike Steidten did on either expensive past it sicknotes like Fullkrug, or untested 18yo from another country for upwards of £25M big ones each, of which we barely get to see either this season for obvious reasons.
Fuck me, give it a rest you fucking bore.

Agree with what Potter said yesterday, I trust him to get in the right player if anyone.

No chance of matching the £300k a week wages he'll be getting there.

We didnt bid that much
Even if we matched it I’m pretty sure he’d have gone to Saudi anyway. Money talks.

Could have been great, but his attitude doesn’t seem too good - can’t blame him for chasing the money though.

If the selling club will accept a couple of chewits, some fluff and a tuppence we might do some business.
You fucking dreamer! Sullivan ain't even got a packet of chewits to spare and if he did, they'd go straight to the effeminate son with the velvet slippers.

Even then, you just know (KNOW) Sullivan will try and negotiate the tuppence out of the deal at the last minute.

Morton does look interesting but looks like they want circa 20 mil for him.

Not exactly encouraging words from the Brighton gaffer, we'd be taking a player from little old Brighton to try to get his fitness up? Why can't they play him?

Are we only allowed one youngster for each position (even if they are slightly different) and regardless of how far into their development they are. Maybe we should have a squad of 11 that have all come through the academy?
