And I’m not in anyway sure why you think this article proves that the money (both in terms of the transfer fee and wages) wasn’t ludicrous. In fact I think it’s more than likely that Chelsea had to offer Mudryk silly wages in order to turn his head sufficiently.

But given your whole argument is doing what it takes to get the player you want, your assertion that somehow we behaved in an underhand way lacks for logic i am afraid to say.

As for Chelsea, this is a club with a history of tapping players up, need I remind you of Ashley Cole. And it proves their transfer strategy is rather superficial in the sense of “Arsenal want this player, so he might be good…let’s sign him”. Now if that’s how they want to operate that’s up to them.

The only reasonable critique that can be made is a potential failure to earmark any alternative that ticks many of the same boxes as Mudryk, and you’ve taken great exception to the idea that if the only alternatives are Trossard or Raphinia…it’d be better to keep our hands in our pockets.

To be Frank with you, I think you’re lacking for a consistent argument to justify your tantrum throwing and you’re now in the desperation of throwing anything at the wall and seeing if it sticks
Dude, not everything I post on here is targeted at you, get over yourself.

Though now i do recall you were the first person to get back at me to question why I called the club a joke IYO (which is clearly wrong now) for not offering the kind of "ludicrous" money that would get this deal over the line.

For the less prickly posters, that link was to show that we still have a lot of work to do to perfect the way we go about getting players and getting what we want.We went about this the wrong way and any unbiased person would agree.

Funnily, I am happy to hear we offered what needed to be offered...it bodes well for us that we do not have an imaginary cap that you and your ilk would like to impose on us to win the Morality cup.
