Same as most of the players we’ve signed then. Zouma and Gomes definitely in that bracket, and Bernard by his agent rather than his club.

2 loans and a free transfer then. So we haven't paid money for anyone touted to us under Brands yet?

He’s not mate. He’s been there 5 years and they’re still loaning him out to crap sides.

Hasn't Zouma already said that he is purely playing for Everton to break into chelsea's first team anyway?

He’d certainly be an improvement.

Had me at clinical. We are lacking someone with the ability to put the ball in the net. Looks decent whenever I have seen him with a good goalscoring record in his career overall. For £14mill its a no brainer - we could recoup that on Niasse

A manager like Klopp would get the best out of him.

People turning their noses up.

Enjoy Calvert-Lewin.

Why does it have to be one or the other??

Maybe we could try and get a decent striker in

Chelsea could do with keeping him.

Considering Giroud is out of contract at the end of the season and Morata is well Morata and with no glaringly obvious CF coming through the ranks they could do worse than keep him and Abraham and sign a top quality proven CF

That last bit does not apply in any way shape or form to a certain Callum Wilson

Fingers crossed this is lazy journalism.

A striker who doesn’t score isn’t what we need.

1 goal in 15 games and 0 assists.

Rather stick with Niasse.

And put him on our wage bill for 4 years minimum.

True, but he maybe a success! At a low price. As I’ve said not seen much of him

Best of luck to the fella there.

Way better than Solanke and costs £6m less, id take him provided his wages aren't ridiculous... he's about our level.

Like he has with Origi, and Solanke, and Sturridge?

As I said Zouma has one opinion however Chelsea has a different opinion and it’s Chelsea’s opinion that counts

Loans and ‘free’ transfers aren’t free. Rumours were that we paid £5m to take Zouma on loan for a year. Would seem logical too if we assume he’s a £25m+ asset. Gomes And Bernard probably our 2 highest wages I would imagine. Point is, lots of transfers are like this, it’s not a bad thing. Moyes didn’t track Coleman from age 9, he was hawked by his agent and we took a punt. Nothing wrong with that.
