Would be weird to post an article like this if we weren't signing him?

Source originates from Alan Nixon on Twitter who usually gets a lot of these links correct. 

Nixon got the Taylor one correct as well. Hope this one is true.

Covolan was signed to be our first-choice and within 6 months had been ostracised from the first-team before being loaned back to non-league where he was signed from.
2 red cards and not many fantastic performances, and the experiment has been abandoned within the year. 
Has to be a poor signing for me. If you're moving on from your first-choice keeper in 6 months, it's not gone well.
Hussey I really didn't think was very good at all.
Name one club where every transfer is successful...

UV also linking us Vaclav Hladky again, but as I mentioned a couple of times, Ipswich want £100,000!

I'd be happy with either, but Blackman seems more likely.

Hladky would be a very good signing but for me Blackman would be a fantastic signing.

Plus he is a free so would leave money to be spent elsewhere in the squad.

100k for GK you don;t want - Ipswich are tripping. How about spending 100k on the striker Simpson instead?

Have you actually read anything I've said?

I was clear in my initial post our recruitment record is very good and provided a fairly objective assessment of how each signing has fared. Admitting Covalan and Hussey aren't great signings is a completely rational opinion.

I haven't criticised at all! Literally said that the signings have overall been good. This forum is getting ridiculous. If you don't pretend literally every decision ever taken by the process is perfect, you're criticising. So boring!

They want £600k for Simpson.

You've got to admit that "Poor and Abysmal " do sound a little bit critical though !

My take on Jamal Blackman would be he is a great age for a keeper 28 and people can say he hasn't played many games BUT those he has played have been at a higher level(which is surely the kind of signings we aim for),he COULD become a saleable asset at the age he is for a keeper and finally Chelsea dont hold onto you for that long if you are pap,so would be a very good signing imo

I also said the striker at Ipswich Simpson is a very good player,big,strong,pacy and can finish but no one imo will pay anywhere near 600k for him especially as he only has a 12mth deal.

I do think we have agreed terms with a few players while they have been in Spain and they will be joining as soon as the team are back(well you would hope so anyway)

My only question mark over Blackman would be why he stayed at Chelsea for so long without playing, rather than leaving and looking to play games. I never understand why players are happy being paid for doing nothing.

Is he just motivated by money? Will he fit the work ethic of the group?

I trust this will have been spoken about during the process if we sign him though.

Surely it’s fair to be critical on players like Holy and Cooper 😂 or is even that now blasphemy. 
 

Poor and abysmal describe those two perfectly
