    Chelsea cheating their way through the market, overpaying for players and openly failing FFP. They have contributed massively to the absolute breaking of the market and continue to artificially inflate it to the point where football is royally fucked, having basically spent a BILLION in 2 years.

    No doubt the Twittersphere will complain about FSG again rather than where the real problems lie.

    As to Lavia - I think £60m for a teenager of his level is bad business in isolation at this moment in time. Perhaps he will justify it in future, but I think it's way above what we should be paying.

    Our OVERALL business as a package? If you'd told me we would get 3 young mids in for £155m and offset some of that outlay by selling a couple of the older players (Fabinho has clocked up the minutes of some 35-year olds) I think I would have taken it - so I won't complain too much. If the Mac Allister fee was £60m and Lavia £35m it would be better, but there's no getting away from the shit circumstances around this deal and it would have been great if we had handled things better - whether that is on Jorg Schmadtke or John Henry or Billy Hogan or whoever.

    A left-sided centre-back would make a "pretty decent" (overall) window a "very good" one for me - but that is entirely subjective and others are totally entitled to see it differently.

    Sounds like he should be in a boxing ring never mind on the football pitch
