of the transfer market ?
It is a relevant question due to the unforeseen demands in this window.
Several of the top "six clubs" are overhauling and in transition:
The Saudi influence in the market , is driving the demand for players, as clubs are freeing up squad places.
Cfc have made a rod for their own backs, with purchases like :
Fernandez: Cost 105m, wages 16m per season, decent footballer, but is he a 105m + 120m - (270m) player contract over 8 years
Cucurella, cost 60m , wages 175k per week - 9.1m per season,
Khoudibally, cost 40m+, costing 16m in wages:
Rashly spending 600m before ensuring that the squad was in a fit state to maintain a top four place:
The club run the risk with the demand for players that Ciacedo may well wind up at top four C/L side, if we do not get this transfer over the line.
Taking all this into consideration, it is going to be a long window, and we are going have to be adaptable with our incoming transfer choices, as we are not going have the first pick of what we want, unless we pay well over the odds & increasing our FFP exposure through the next cycle.

Have Cfc priced themselves out

Are you saying you dont rate Mount?
Wow if you don't, you need to brush up mate!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
im saying 60m for a player wanting out in the last year of his contract is very good money. And that teams will know they have 125m in the back from 2 players already, and a further 100m from sales of mendy, pulisic, kovacic, koulibaly etc.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Koulibaly? Who's that? Are you referring to Khoudibally?

"D Forfana, out on loan Union Berlin costing 10.4m per season in wages"
You are confusing David Fofana with Wesley Fofana.
D.Fofana is in the low earning bracket, at 30k p/w which equates to just over 1.5m per annum.

I'm going to put it another way, How much do you think we could have got for Mount if he had had 3 or 4 years left on his contract. Even though I'd have liked him to stay, I can't see anyone paying us moe than 10 million more than we actually got for him. Think we got a good deal on both Mount and Havertz.

Yeah im conflicted over dealing with Brighton anymore.
Yes we do need such a player, but i feel they are way to greedy, they want it all their own way, imo let the likes of LVP give them 100m.

Spurs got Bisouma for £25m and LFC got MacAllister for £35, both before add-ons.
Chelsea spent more than both put together on Cucurella

Well for us we got lucky he had some kind of clause, dno about bissouma but that seems like a different market altogether than the current tbh. And i thought it was 35m for Bissouma? or was that potenatial addons idr.
