Speaker 2: “Chelsea are having a right go again, aren’t they?”
Speaker 1: “Yeah.”
Speaker 2: “What’s their spending up to now since Todd Boehly came in? It must be billions.”
Speaker 1: “Yeah, telephone numbers, isn’t it? Even this summer, £117 million for Morgan Rogers and £52 million now for Maxence Lacroix.
“And I don’t think they’re finished there. There’s a lot of talk that they want a midfielder. Bruno Guimarães was doing the rounds, but Chelsea sort of denied that.
“And you’re right, another striker is needed as well.”
Speaker 2: “How can you spend billions of pounds and still not have a world-class striker?”
Speaker 1: “And arguably a goalkeeper as well. There are still question marks over Robert Sánchez.
“João Pedro is decent, but I don’t think he’s world-class.
He was really unlucky not to get into the Brazil squad.
When you look at that Brazil team that stunk the place out at the World Cup, I wonder what João Pedro was thinking while sitting on a beach somewhere.”
