Manxst Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Just now, ShoTime said: Why can Chelsea spend this money (inc. what's gone out on Lukaku) yet we're supposedly bound by FFP constraints? Because they bring in four times as much money as we do? Plus they also weren’t allowed to sign anyone for a year, so that has helped them massively too.

Flip Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 I don't think I saw a Brighton game this year, but just a year ago, I thought this guy was one of the worst defenders I've seen in a long time when he was beaten by Antony for the entirety of the Olympics final. Now he's going for £63m. Damn. Shouldn't trust my judgement ever again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Cucurella's absolute quality. He was the LB I wanted us to go for pre-Matt Targett/Lodi. Now I understand why we didn't Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkhead Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) Boehly seems a bit clueless - it's as if he's embraced Roman's transfer strategy but he's desperately trying to outspend him to prove he's cooler. Without much thought squad balance, player happiness etc. I fully expect him to be trigger happy with managers too. Hopefully De Marco takes them (and the PL) to the cleaners in court over the 1.5b debt. Edited August 5, 2022 by junkhead Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) It's possible Chelsea don't even want him, but as soon as Big Fab pressed send on that tweet the deal had to be done. Edited August 5, 2022 by Hanshithispantz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a good player like, one of the best in the championship last season and England u21 intl. No idea why he’s so keen to leave Wolves given ‘he’s one of their own’ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully De Marco takes them (and the PL) to the cleaners in court over the 1.5b debt. The clearing of the 1.5b debt isn't relevant to FFP, there's nothing for us to take the PL to court about there. At the moment they can spend like they are and stay within FFP rules due to their £1/2b revenue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Am I missing something with Cucurella? He's looked decent but 62 million seems insane especially when you signed Chilwell for huge money a year ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it's all going to blow up in their face. I just hope we are poised to nick some players off them while they're overdoing things and continuing to pile players in.
