It is funny to see a club like Chelsea still in the lower divisions but then winning the FA Cup. It is realistic for sure, which is nice to see.
All three transfers are under the "best deal" that is great business. Sankoh especially, getting someone at that value for that cost is a huge deal for a club in the Championship.

Absolutely. I've scouted the Sankoh fellow for quite some time, but he's just been out of reach at any point so far. I didn't think I would be able to sign him for 3m, which would double the previous transfer record. But I gave it a go due to his contract situation. I was adamant, however, that I would not go any higher than the 3m, even though I could easily afford it. It felt wrong for me to go any higher, compared to previous signings made by the club.
The selling club quickly went down to 3,6m, which would still have been a pretty good deal for me. But again, I wouldn't go past the 3m and made it a 'take it or leave it' situation. If they hadn't agreed, I would have walked away to target someone else. But luckily they ended up giving in.
