This I mostly agree with. I’d love us to be run by Brighton’s board (I’d say Brentford but let’s see how this summer reflects on that..)

Although Brighton's trump card of late is to have an insane Jedi mind trick on Chelsea to make them keep giving them huge amounts of money for pretty ordinary players.

Would you say that Robert Sanchez, Marc Cucurella, Moises Caicedo and Joao Pedro are worth £230m between them?! Plus what they got for Potter who didn't even last a year.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

This is true but also as you’ve said many times before, that assumes there was a buyer for Adama. In fact, the only time we came close to selling him was to Nuno!

I think if we'd made it known that Adama was available then there would have been takers in the £40m range.

Plenty of managers would fancy being the one to make him be the superstar that pundits always say he'd be "if he had a final ball" (when we all know there's a lot more than that lacking in his game, while acknowledging that he can have days where he is superb)

Yeah but maybe they have just been the quickest to realise how ludicrous Chelsea’s management structure is!

You're the one spreading 'inside information' to strangers for internet points

I can definitely buy that the club told Nuno we had to sell one of Jota or Adama and he backed the wrong horse.

But a large majority of our fans at the time would also have backed the wrong horse. Plenty had started to gripe at Jota for perceived wastefulness and for the majority (not on TWF), Adama could do no wrong in 2019 and 2020.

Doubt Nuno had much say in it, Liverpool wanted Jota, Liverpool were getting Jota. Don't think we ever had any offers for Adama did we?

I always felt our management of the squad was stellar & limited injuries because we invested in quality sports science and associated medical staff.
It felt like there was a period where a number of those people left for various reasons. Their replacements were not to the same standards.

No idea what the cause of the staff turnover within that group though.

That's so cool.

@darlowolf64 ! They're debating the poster not the post!!

That's so cool.

Cheers. You’ve replied enough, so assumed you’d think so.

Not in that summer (as far as we know) but we were never selling two key attackers so once Jota went then he wasn't remotely on the table for anyone unless they bid something ridiculous.

We had the ridiculous Barcelona episode.

Spurs weirdly wanted him to play RWB for them but couldn't be bothered meeting what was by that point a fairly modest asking price.

We accepted a bid from Ajax in the summer when he was in the final year of his deal and he turned the move down.

That's what I thought, as I said I don't see any scenario where Jota didn't leave as soon as Liverpool showed interest.

Yeah it was a loan with an obligation to spurs right? And they fucked about.

I didn’t know the Ajax one!

 

[Wilf Wolf]

I suspect concerns over Adams’s frequently dislocated shoulder made him more difficult to sell and many, myself included, thought Neto could replace Jota adequately but unfortunately he had a series of injuries. Nevertheless it wasn’t selling Jota that was the main problem, it was Raul getting injured.
