If it goes pear shaped they are fucked though, good luck moving out bad buys on good money and crazy long term contracts.It does apply, and that’s why they are offering 7.5 and 8.5 year contracts, because FFP applies and this allows them to effectively halve the annual cost in comparison to a standard contract length. So they can in theory spend double what a team offering 4 year deals can. But the downside is they are paying these deals off for twice as long. They counter that by buying young, gifted players, presumably with the thought process of heavily reducing spending after this initial investment phase. It might work for them in terms of success on the pitch, or it might not. But what they’re unlikely to do is fail FFP as their contract strategy shows they are not ignoring it.
Plus they need to replace their center backs in a year or two.
Hahaha I forgot about all those. Cant keep up, but Chalobah is crap, Kouibaly is in his 30s and apart form Fofana the other are fullbacks no?Badashile, fofana, colwill, chalobah, koulibaly prob enough. James and cucurella can both play wide CB in a three.
Lol its hard to keep up :)If only theyd bought 2 very good CBs this season aged 21 and 22...
Mourinho return?Chelsea are gonna be fucking ridiculous next season! Don’t see potter being the manager mind but if they get someone like Enrique in with them players they will be extremely hard to beat imo
unless they win it this yearThey're going to have 4 new Jan signings that can't play in the CL.
As things currently stand, they won't be in it next season either.
Nope. It’s all about opinions and yours is as valid as mine but for me enzo is worth roughly half what Bellingham is worth and I don’t rTe Bellingham that highonah enzo is better than bellingham so it won't. I feel like it is the price of overhyped talents like bellingham, grealish that push the price up for real talents like Enzo. In real world enzo should be like 75 mil and bellingham should be about 60 mil.
edit: if anything we playing 100 mil for grealish normalized prices for average players. not best move by the club. I would rather pay 105 mil for Enzo than 100 for Grealish. It was a stupid move that also put pressure on grealish. now every one good, decent, crap, great anyone is 100 mil if you have good PR with you smh.
In his first 2 windows Boehly has bought 16 players, loaned 2 more for a total of €650MImagine the outrage if we'd have done what Chelsea have.
Their owner is white, ours isn’t, simple asImagine the outrage if we'd have done what Chelsea have.
You are either Enzo himself or his agent, maybe now that he’s been overpaid for by Chelsea, you will kindly fuck off with your nonsense?! You have written a scouting report and you’ve watched 12 games, ergo you are more qualified than anyone else to comment?? ….erm, fuck of!well I have watched more than a dozen of his club games outside of the world cup. I have written my scouting report in the pages before, but people here who have not seen him even for a entire game seem to tell me I am wrong lol! I have also watched a dozen or more dortmund games and I can tell you without a doubt that Enzo right now is levels above bellingham. Enzo is already world class and can single-handedly control a football match from midfield while bellingham is more of a future potential and right now a moments player who has a good attacking moments near the opposition box. when bellingham is priced at close to 150 mil then 120 mil for Enzo is a no brainier
