Joao Felix

It pisses me off that nobody is going on about Chelsea's spending, all they're mentioning is the size of their squad. We got absolute pelters every transfer window even though they were carefully planned. Boehly's have been total scattergun windows with seemingly a very little plan in place. Is it because he's American?

Imagine if this was Newcastle.

Abramovic supposedly spent 2.1bn on players during his time as owner. Boehly is on 1.35bn already, in only a few years. He has also sacked almost half as many managers in a quarter of the time. Impressive catching up!

FFP expert Stefan Borson was talking on Talksport yesterday about Chelsea being in breach of FFP rules under Abramavic. I wasn't listening too closely but he mentioned two former big name players. I think he said Chelsea had more or less already admitted guil so we'll have to wait and see if it comes to anything, or not.

It's literally wall to wall coverage of it. Are you living under a rock?

It is, although one aspect was conspicuous in its absence, and that was a comparison of the cost of the starting lineups when we played them the other day. When we were spending big, it was literally all they could talk about.

It is mostly about squad size, rather than the spending as such, from what I have seen as well. But there is every chance I live under the same rock though.

I see what you mean but they will pull out those numbers when they play Ipswich not us lol.

There is absolutely tons of coverage of the spending, but I can see why the squad size thing is being highlighted.

People can understand buying new players to improve a team, but very few people can understand why you need 7 keepers, or 15 wingers, so I can see why it's become the story.
 
7 year deal as well. It's genuinely insane. It's like he's some sort of double agent hired by Abramovich to bring the club down as punishment for him being banned from running it.
 
Gone on loan to AC Milan for the rest of the season. £5M loan fee with no obligation to buy. My bet is that he is going to cost Milan more than £1m per goal.

Cannot believe that some people wanted him at City.
