Romeo Lavia

[Centurions]

There was a rule you couldn't increase a % of annual wages from a certain amount so it was like a wages cap! Rags needed another rebuild Gill took that rule out without a mention in the media! Been a couple of more tweaks what I can't remember too

But it wasn't retrospectively applied bud.

What I don't get is let's say Lavia has a blinder and they want to reward him with a new deal. Well how do you extend a contract then? You'd be giving a 22 year old a contract into his early 30s, without having any idea what their body will be like at that point.

As a side note, hope all these players have mechanisms to get out of Chelsea when the inevitable implosion happens.

A new contract doesn’t necessarily mean an extended one mate

doesn't but with 20% sell on we'd essentially get back a £60m bid from us only translates to £48m cost. (Obvs it's not £40m but it's worth noting that he would still be cheaper for us than anyone else this summer).

Its still a £60 m swing for us though.
If another club buy him, we get £12m and if we buy him we fork out £48m.

I don't know if true but it's been said that these long contracts have graduated wage increases over the length of the contract. If they decided to offer him a new contract in 3 years time say, then they could offer a better 5 year contract as it doesn't have to be an extension.

Because Gill new rags would fail that if they didnt change it!

How do we know if it's brought in it won't be applied?

This is so savvy! Give a 8 year deal first 3 years on about 50k a week the 4th year 100k 5th year 150k last 3 years 300k knowing if they player is top notch they will be happy with that if the player is not living up to expectations sell him after 3 years..

Boehley hey a genius..

Assume they don’t want to play for free asthma meds like all the other current dipper players do…

Its not only that, what about inflation?

I know players are paid crazy money but going BACK 7 years and comparing to now wages have exploded.

Now take into account a players progression (look at how Phil Fodens monies have increased), in 7 years time Lavia could be expecting a wage of £1m per week but still be on a £100k contract.

I'm amazed just like the pull of barca how players & agents act.

There will be break clauses etc built in, plus they always have the Webster ruling.

Tbf buy back at 40m doesn’t kick in till next year

Not sure the buy-back clause is still valid if he’s changed club in the meantime.

(Sorry if already said. I haven’t followed the thread closely.)
