[Albion] Albion have had THIRTEEN individuals move to Chelsea in 19 months

[Commander]

whilst I am no fan of Chelsea, it has to be remembered that these 13 that have gone to them will have basically funded our transfers for a good couple of years to come, and the transfer window just closed.

At the time it seemed to be a disaster, but looking at our squad now, and that we are in no danger of PSR issues for a few years, the Chelsea raids may well be the thing that moves us to "the next level"

Absolutely. Thank God these mugs exist to keep pushing us further and further up English football. Our model doesn’t work if there are no buyers.

However, he pulled off a major coup 'Tweedy was understood to be instrumental in Brighton signing promising 18-year-old midfielder Josh Robertson from Sunderland back in January.'

Given that Tweedy was Head of Academy Recruitment at Sunderland when Robertson was there it's hardly great scouting. It's just the food chain at work.

The one part of Chelsea to be admired for how well run it is, is the academy, if Todd starts poking his nose in there, he might well f*** that up too.

That has already happened -

Talking of wingers, what's happened to Adrian Mazilu?
He's disappeared! No loan deal this season. Not appeared for the U21's this season. Is he injured?

He did partake in pre-season.

At the end of August he made a post on instagram which I THINK indicated he was recovering from injury.
