Point still stands though. We get so much crap any time we sign a player and the PL and Uefa have hounded City over FFP. Seemingly Chelsea have just a free pass to write off over 1.5 billion pounds worth of debt and spend whatever they like without any kind of criticism. Compare this to the outrage if we sign Bellingham this summer and how we are cheating the world of football.

I honestly do take your point and understood what you were getting at. Just didn't want to let the incorrect numbers stand unchallenged :)

Nice of you add a couple of million to each transfer. I'm sure you can make the same point without inflating the numbers for no reason :)

Havertz 75m
Fofana 75m
Cucurella 56m (rising to 62m)
Kepa 71m
Pulisic 54m
Lukaku 97m

So you're collectively off by nearly 40m.

Havertz 80, fofana 80, Cucurella 65, Kepa 80, pulisi 60, Lukaku 100 - imagine if that was us, the football world would implode. They got a 1.3 billion pound hand out when roman sold up and now have spunked half a billion in one season. PL should be looking at these cunts and not us.

I think I read somewhere before he took over Chelsea that he has previous for this, buy a load of players on very long contracts win a trophy I think it was about the dodgers then he doesn't bother with the team after that win. Doesn't back them much. I don't know if that will happen with Chelsea.

Very unlikely to happen at Chelsea. They’re not likely to win anything for a long time.

That certainly isn't true with the Dodgers, so not sure if that is applicable here.
 
Chelsea will be fine.

People on here always think clubs that go on spending sprees are going to fail. Last January everyone had to take the piss out of Newcastle's "panic signings", last summer everyone on here was taking the piss out of Nottingham Forest and saying they were guaranteed to go down after signing 20 players.

Watching them yesterday, if they replace Havertz with Felix, they will be in the top 4. Their 1st, 2nd and 3rd biggest problems are how bad that kid is at finishing.

I can't wait for Ferran Torres to break the law in a couple of year so I can come back here and associate that crime with City haha.

Keep up, every ex City player who commits a crime is immediately flagged as “former Manchester City player” this fella accused of rape and labelled “former MCFC player”! Even though he played a total of zero minutes at Senior Level, it’s not an isolated instance neither.

That's genuinely terrible but I suppose not isolated to City. Here's a story about Avram Grant's alleged crimes with the headline highlighting his Chelsea connection despite being our caretaker manager for about 6 months in a career spanning over 40 years.

Former Chelsea boss Avram Grant accused of sexual harassment by multiple women

A number of women have come forward accusing former Premier League manager Avram Grant of sexual harrassment, with accusations coming to light on an Israeli investigative show

Top 4 isn't going to happen.

Arsenal, City, Newcastle, and Scum are all better. Fulham too. Spurs probably also. Chelsea may scrape top 4 - but IMO they're very unlikely to do so.
