Well they are without CL money this year so that’s what, 70mil down already. I think they will struggle again this season to get top 4 so that’s a few years of no CL money potentially. How they can ever get near complying with FFP is just make believe.

Not much creativity there.A midfield 3 of Enzo+Caicedo +Lavia would be remarkable.

Top five is champs league positions this season and they will get top five..

That's around £1,000,000,000 (one billion pounds sterling) spent in just 3 windows and that's only so far as they've got a couple of weeks to add to that. It's not Boehly's money alone so surely the investors have to start asking questions sooner or later?They've spent just under €400m and received just over €250m.
Amortised over 5 years they have made a profit but that doesn't count previous amortisations. They have reduced their wage bill though, assuming these young up and coming stars are on less.
I'd be shocked if they've done enough to pass FFP though.

They will be a tough nut to crack in that midfield, but their forward options are shite. All that money spent and they are still short of goals.
Sterling will probably score 30 this season now I’ve said that!
Their midfield is just full of ball winners. Like Tottenhams had been for years. Be hard to break down but not going to create much, lot of pressure on wingbacks and forwards.

Yep but that's the "working man" midfield. Typical dipper style midfield. It does work for certain teams but you need players willing to run through a wall.Not much creativity there.

And the dippers had the quality up front to make it work. Not sure Chelsea have that yet (or at least haven't shown it yet).Yep but that's the "working man" midfield. Typical dipper style midfield. It does work for certain teams but you need to players willing to run through a wall.
FFP is the least of their worries.Don't think so, they know they going to fail ffp so they will take whatever punishment it is and they must know it isn't being kicked out off Europe or then it would be absolutely suicidal to spend this amounts of money then get champs league and all that money to only be kicked out! Which would put them in deeper trouble...
This goes far deeper and far more serious than that.
Our owners are incredibly rich but they want value and in my experience the richer the person/organisation the more they are reluctant to spend indiscriminately and when they do invest heavily they expect a return.
Something very wrong with this "Chelsea" money and even in the long term if they are successful, with the levels spent, will the "investors" see a return?
That’s far from certain I’d say. Stacked in midfield, but they have fuck all up front really and are still reliant on a 39 year old Centre back.Top five is champs league positions this season and they will get top five..
