Chelsea Thread - 2022/23 | Pochettino confirmed as new manager

Can someone with sense tell me How the hell can the new owner spend £400m and still be within FFP?

Not qualifying for Europe helps (just ask Liverpool) so they're going about it the right way.

If you buy £400m of players on 8 year contracts the ffp cost is £50m per year.

Some insanse spending going on at chelsea. We’d be absolutely savaged in the press for that. Suppose its ok if its americans.

looks like a complete scattergun approach too. What happens when all the forwards and wingers are fit?

Some dead weight though if they flop. 7 years of paying someone else to take your player.

Yes, they are definitely gambling.

 

[Mr Kobayashi]

It's probably a deliberate strategy to inflate the transfer market. The citygroup model of developing youngsters to sell and fund 1st team signings is something we pinched from Chelsea.

If they can turn outgoings like Guehi into 30 million players instead of 20 million players they might be able to get away with all the apparent spunking.

By buying young they have alo hedged against paying top wages in the short term.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Remember when we bought players.

 

[journolud]

There’s something wrong with this club

Yes, very fondly, I had a full head of hair and a 30" waist
