This seriously has to stop now, can you please give me ONE example that suggests that Chelsea are going to become a selling club like Brighton? Give me one example where Chelsea have sold their best players under this ownership for profit...! I would completely understand articles like this if we sold Caicedo, Palmer, Jackson, Noni, Levi, Gusto etc for huge profits but we haven't. I would understand articles like this if we were signing players for peanuts in the hope to spin a quick profit but we haven't. Can you PLEASE explain to me why any ownership group would spend over £200 million on 2 central midfielders if all they cared about was profit? This is becoming ridiculous. The idea is to buy young talent early to AVOID having to spend 100s of millions on players in the future. Look at Andrey Santos, signed for what £10m - now he's worth £50/60m - would you rather us have bought him for £50/60m...? Look at what Madrid done with Vini Jnr, Rodrygo etc - we have done that with Esteavo & Kendry!! Am I going nuts?
I quite literally have zero idea how you can question the ambition of an ownership that have invested BILLIONs into our club.

Gallagher…
Andy, I understand your answer but reality is that we didn’t buy him in the first place which I think is the basis of Billy’s comment?
But we did sell him when he was becoming the spine of the team and injected energy when needed!
