General transfer rumours

[Ajm1985]

Well if it wasn't clear that Clearlake and PIF have a 'helpful' relationship it's clear now

 

[LesBleuMiserable]

have a feeling after reading some strong links between Saudi PIF and Clearlake which is the main investor at Chelsea through Boehly being their front man, so these Saudi transfers at a bit inflated prices just when Chelsea need fe players to be moved out of the club, this is not a coicidence. bit like when they shifted Oscar for 60m all of a sudden to China now they are about to get some serious cash for their deadwood...

chances are they will get more for Zijech or Mendy than we will get for Bernardo, thats a joke if it happens.

Bernie wants a hotter climate surely Saudi is the place, hotter than Spain by far!

Arteta is Basque, isn’t he?

Not sure he's got the figure for it.

Barca is always attractive, just ask Lewandowski.. Arteta is also product of La Masia, he is Catalan so Barca is a special club for him.. But I think they are good with Xavi right now, Arteta should focus on bringing trophies back in North London..

Barcelona is always atractive because its like the best city in Europe, with an huge club with global commercial reach but them being broke its also a big factor that limits their possibilities until its under control. All of these things can be true. Also la liga being a mess doesnt help, the chasm between the premier league financial incentives and all other leagues is enormous, how other big countries with big markets couldnt figure out how to do something similar i dont know but it is what it is

Because stupidly they've allowed one or two teams to monopolise the majority of their top league's revenue with zero challengers like in France & Germany.

Take La Liga... As long as Real & Barça kept winning their league & the CL, all was great. However, once the shit hit the fan & either team dips, La Liga will dip with them. It's the risk you run when putting all your eggs in one basket.

This season, Chelsea, Spuds & Liverpool suffered dips, but City & Arsenal battled it out for the league until the final three games of the season.

Newcastle upset the CL qualification apple cart & Ten Hog got ManUre the final CL place. Next season anyone from City, Arsenal, Newcastle, ManUre, Dippers, Spuds & Chavs could feasibly challenge for the league & the likes of Villa, Brighton & Brentford could have a big say on who wins the league & lands a coveted CL spot.

With La Liga, it's usually about the finishing order between Barça & Real, & who finishes 4th after Atletico. It's become that predictable because the gap between these three & the rest is so vast, La Liga became boring with broadcasters opting to show other leagues instead.

A match between Levante & Real Valecano isn't getting any pulses racing. So La Liga's revenue drops & so does the revenue crumbs distributed to the rest of the league's supporting cast.

If reports are correct, City will receive £60m more for winning the PL than the relegated clubs, hence the tougher competition. These other leagues need to share their revenue more evenly & their whole league will benefit & rise, not just a couple of teams...

So chelsea splashing the cash yet again and no interest from uefa or the premier league over this,not actually worried what they spend but for the life of me can’t grasp how when its us we must have broke rules ( yes we know that certain clubs are pushing the investigation into us ) but why the blind eye being turned on another club who are a threat as well ..

What interest do you want?

They are following the rules correctly.

One more season like last year though and they are in huge trouble. They are rolling the dice that they will be back in the top 4 as well as shifting a ton of wages over to Saudi Arabia.
