1 hell of a transfer window so far, sold David luiz 50 ml, sold Lukaku 28 ml, ba I think was 6 ml = 84 ml,
Got costa in 32ml, fabregas 27 ml, luis 16 ml, young Croatian 3 ml =78 ml, 6 ml profit, and we got cole and lampard of our yearly wage bill got to be 15 ml a season in wages saved on them two, our squad is basically complete and we could probably afford to spend another 50-80 million in this window as we are in profit at the moment, I haven't ever been this excited for a season to start for the following reasons - mourinho has always won something in his second season, courtois will 1 day be the best keeper in the world, zouma if I'm correct only 19 wow! I'd put my house on him being the chelsea & France captain 1 day, van ginkle looks Awsome in preseason, matic looks settled after signing in January, fabregas is a rollsroyse of a footballer, hazard this is his season to truly show he's messi/ronaldo next to the thrown, Oscar injury free and his age could be the best # 10 in Europe, salah only 21 worlds his oyster, costa looks a proper proper striker, only judging him in preseason but his footwork is surprising, turns quick, if I had to compare him it would be a tevez/ aguero type but he's a lot bigger and stronger, all in all these are my positive reason to be extremely happy as a chelsea fan!, I can feel a cycle of dominence cooking nicely!!

It's been quite the transfer window, and the previous one (January) was pretty excellent as well. For our club to strengthen the team significantly while actually making a profit is very remarkable and a great feat.

However, I believe the club shouldn't be afraid to record a loss after this window. The transfers have been very very good. But it could be made even better by signing Varane and/or Pogba. Especially Pogba as he's homegrown. He just ticks too many boxes for us to pass on him. Buy Pogba, sell Ramires and maybe Mikel as well. That would help the homegrown situation and our midfield would be BOSS! Varane at the back could be JT's successor and a mainstay in the lineup for the next 10 years. Those are the only 2 players I want to see bought.

Wow ELI, you just wrote out my entire thought process. You must be mind reading genius or something! ;-)

That's what I was pretty much getting at we can afford pogba and varne now this window, and have quite possibly the best team in Europe, with the youngsters we got surely this is the most exciting project in Europe!

In an ideal world, we'd sell Torres, Mikel, Cech and bring in Pogba, Varane and Aubameyang. With the sale of them hopefully covering the cost of Varane and Auba. Would pretty much be the perfect squad IMO and we'd be pretty much set for the next few years, promoting youth to take the places of those that leave.
