But who is up and coming, improving all the time, a scarce commodity as a good left footed LB, has played almost 50 games for Spain at various, progressive levels so far, is 7 years younger than Alonso etc etc.Fair play to brighton and fair play to us Chelsea have been robbed 62mil for a guy who is behind alonso in the Spain team and has had 1 good season.
They haven’t been wiped out, they’re amortised expenditure that will still be on the books over the length of the contracts. This season spend on players and wages is a maximum of 90% of turnover, 80% next season, then settled at 70% from the season afterwards.They have just had a £1.5bn injection though. Those fees, Cucurella aside, have been wiped out.
Harsh - Especially in this occasion, Cucurella did nothing wrong in my eyes.As with any player we don't sign, I hope he crashes and burns.
Exactly.£62 million for a player with no champions league or real international experience. Wow!

We get so indignant about our own players fees - I think some managed to get Grealish down to 65M - yet so eager to inflate other team's players.£62 million for a player with no champions league or real international experience. Wow!
