It’s what he does in baseball. The dodgers are always way above the salary cap but pay the luxury tax to get round it.This yank doesn’t fuck around. I never thought we’d see an American owner that is willing to splash the cash.
How does that work out?With the way the contracts are set up, I read somewhere that selling Gallagher alone for 45m pounds would offset our entire spend for 2023.
How does that work out?
If there's a release clause, the buying club has to pay that fee in one go don't they? so you would be spending £105m on top of all your other amortised deals.
Okay but i mean't how does that offset their spend if they have to pay the £105m in one go? which is what the selling club can insist on if it's a release clause.Because he is home grown that goes straight on the books as 45m
And they are still rubbish.That'll be 600m then?

yh thats usually agreed before the clubs even talk.Has he said he want's to go there yet? They can put as many bids in as they want but if they're not in the chumps league next season then not sure why he'd go - unless he's short of a few bob
Chelsea ruining football.It’s what he does in baseball. The dodgers are always way above the salary cap but pay the luxury tax to get round it.
Chelsea are going to have a very very good young side. Gonna be tough to compete unless we are prepared to match these transfer fees
Apparently he's keen to move. It's just the payment terms which've been holding up the transfer.Has he said he want's to go there yet? They can put as many bids in as they want but if they're not in the chumps league next season then not sure why he'd go - unless he's short of a few bob
Atm Chelsea are all over the shop football wise but when they do jell and they will they are gonna be a very difficult opponent . Can’t see potter being there long now as they will want a world class manager like zidane or Enrique
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 brainierHas anyone in here actually watched him apart from the World Cup?
Seems an absolutely crazy deal.
they also have kovacic and zakaria for midfield. they are also adding nkuku and probably a center forward next year. also few promising young talents in defense. right now for next season I would say their squad looks better and more complete than ours.On paper Chelsea have a very strong 11. But they obviously would need to gel first. And questions remain whether Potter will be the man to get the best out of them, considering he's hardly proven.
Kepa
James
Silva
Fofana
Chilwell
Kante
Fernandez
Mount
Felix/Sterling
Mudryk
Havertz
I guess that would be something like their best 11. Looks decent. But always think that Havertz is somewhat wasted as a striker when he has to battle it out with centre-backs, so hope he continues to play there.
I would hope so after spending 700 millionthey also have kovacic and zakaria for midfield. they are also adding nkuku and probably a center forward next year. also few promising young talents in defense. right now for next season I would say their squad looks better and more complete than ours.
