Chelsea thread 2019/20

How is he allowed to put money in?

Any owner is allowed to put money in. It has zero impact for FFPR purposes.

 

[Bobo Fett]

No doubt the FA and UEFA will let one of its darlings spend over £100m on Sancho and another £100m plus on random foreign players without batting an eyelid.

Chelsea always seem to sell their youngsters for about £25m each despite having only played one league cup tie before being loaned in Holland too.

I'm convinced the sale of David Luiz to PSG and back again was money laundering played out right in front of the public eye. At the time he was nowhere near a £50M player.

You’re not the only one.

There were many comments at the time of both transfers alluding to this.

More like PSG being dumb. PSG had a restriction due to FFP and what did they do ? Spend the whole sum on David Luiz then try all the summer to get players on loan. At the time, it was even reported than an high figure, the Emir of Qatar if we believe L'Equipe, said it was their answer to the FFP.

Great signing by Chelsea. Ziyech is a bargain for that money.

I don't even know why people are acting as if Luiz was the only average player to move for a high fee. Sigurdsson was signed for £50m. Morata, a career backup striker, went for more than £50m. Fred went for nearly £50m. Average players move clubs for massive fees every season. People have been so hung up on Luiz for no reason.

Also he was the face of Brazil defence. Easy to get overrated. And let's not forget Chelsea are master at selling. Morata as you said, Oscar previously. Your Russian lady is a master when it comes to selling players.

 

[Crouchinho]

Wanted Spurs to sign this chap. Whenever I see him play he was bloody brilliant, really good. Interesting to see how this pans out

 

[Pell]

Good signing, especially for that money, despite losing him in January for maybe up to a month due to AFCON.

Sooo, uhm that was a wonderful game last night, wasn't it? I knew we would lose the minute Maguire didn't his marching orders - I watched the rest of the game with little to no interest.

No fucking wonder.

That was one of the worst VAR decisions I’ve seen to date, and it has plenty of competition.

It’s not difficult to understand why England has no officiating representation at major tournaments nowadays.

I usually don't buy into conspiracy theories, but the fact that both the ref and the bloke in the van looking at replay footage both come from the Manchester area and conveniently "support" league 1 or non-league teams is scandalous.

If the game was reffed correctly, we would have played against 10 men from the 20th min, and if we assume United go 1-0 up through Martial anyway, it would have been 1-1 against 10 men with 35 mins left to play.

We all know Taylor is a rag. I have read more than one Bluemooner confirm it. We even spoke to reds in Florida last November, who admitted the same.

So why he is allowed to referee rags' games is an absolute disgrace.

I agree.

That doesn't surprise me one bit. It was almost like a surreal out of body experience watching the game last night. It felt like watching wrestling with the outcome of the game predetermined.

 

[Trojan1962]

I agree.

It’s not football anymore.... Football is the victim sadly

Chelsea fan says "there is a conspiracy against us" shock.

Not against Chelsea per se, but more pro United. Both ref and VAR bloke being from Manchester resulting in pretty blatantly awful decisions going in United's favour to effectively win them vital game is a pretty huge coincidence, at the very least.

If you don't agree with that, fair enough, but I don't think it's an outrage to point this weird "coincidence" out.

Chelsea have been screwed by many refereeing decisions over the years playing the Cartel twins (United and Liverpool). You couldn't have been surprised.

Much like us in games this season mate.

Look we have not been good enough to win the league but by fuck we have been shafted at times and it was your turn last night as Utd in 5th spot is now needed just in case they manage to throw us out of the CL for spending our own money.
