True but they did buy him (van Dijk) for much cheaper and it was a lesser risk deal. This is meant to be one of our main centre backs.

Would explain chelseas prospective spend, they could spend last years, this years and next years all in one splurge. A risk though if some signings don’t work out.Yes, if I've got that right.

Chelsea are carrying a huge loss from 2019 of £96m. They made £60m profit in 2018 so they'll have to break even, certainly avoid a big loss, over the next 2-year periodWould explain chelseas prospective spend, they could spend last years, this years and next years all in one splurge.

Thought this year was a write-off for FFP, due to pandemic? Thought that’s why everyone had their cheque books out, but nobody wants to spend!?

Didn’t realise they had that 2019 loss. Can’t see how they can buy Werner, Havertz, Chilwell and a keeper without some big sales then. Especially in the current climate.Chelsea are carrying a huge loss from 2019 of £96m.

Doesn't the amount the top clubs get from Sky and the CL more than cover that?
