We don’t. It’s just the club trying to play down expectations and keep prices lower for us than they would be knowing we had a lot to spend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think our issue is spending outside our means now could stop us from flexing our muscles later when we have loads of commercial deals etc in place.

Kimbo Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Chelsea are going to make agents expect 7.5 year contracts. Fucking idiots. I hope he's shit and realises he won't be playing in Europe next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LionOfGosforth Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Surely there has to be some limit to Chelsea's spending and some limit to players' desire to joining their (hideously well paid) shit show? I mean they're completely shite, 10th in the league and they just come along and sign every player that other clubs want with what looks to be no thought to how it will work out, except to be seen to be flexing their financial muscles at every problem. Badiashile, Felix and now seemingly Mudryk in the space of about a week after spending nearly a quarter billion in the summer. After Abramovich and the possibility they were all done as a big spending club, fair sickens the stomach like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottman Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Chelsea are more vile now than they were before, didn’t think it was possible given the previous owner was a war lord. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what the likes of Sterling thinks about all of these midfielders coming in? He probably thought he had a starting place locked down for the next 2-3 years.

Tsunami Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 They must be going to ship some players out. Their squad is absolutely insane, apart from the absolute inexplicable absence of a centre forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The value of the transfer is spread out over the length of the contract in FFP, which is why they are doing it. And so if they pay £70 million it will count slightly less than £10 million for this year in FFP terms I believe. It's the same reason Mike Ashley was giving out those long contracts when he was here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones that are salty about not playing enough will definitely start taking the piss. I absolutely hate what they're doing, and I 'm rooting against them big time going forward. So glad we haven't gone down that road. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
