They were on the FFP watchlist after the summer window ffs They’ve started handing out 7.5 year deals which helps. a 4 year deal, I would expect Mudryk to reject it. But a 7.5 year deal at astronomical wages, I get it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorJ_01 Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 It doesn't entirely make sense. 7.5yr at his potential wages basically doubles the transfer fee, yet somehow that's more financially fair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 It's a fucking nonsense that a club that's lost a quarter billion over the last two years can spunk another quarter billion (at least) on transfers. It just shows that FFP is a load of utter shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBottle Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Just on Mudryk, the few times I’ve seen him he looks quality it has to be said. But you’re still taking a risk signing a player from the Ukrainian top division regardless - Rebrov is the one who sticks out in my mind. Even paying half his reputed fee would have been a risk - that figure is fucking insane. And yes, the lad could end up being the world’s best player and what have you - but that still wouldn’t mean I’m wrong here. Chelsea’s new owners are fucking insane, I can’t work out what they’re doing and what they think they will achieve. Are they looking to simply lose shedloads of cash? At least I can understand why Abramovich was doing it - what’s their motivation? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Chelsea undermines FFP it will only help us in the future. If the authorities want FFP to be a thing they will have to punish any breach severely.

I still dont understand the "Fair" part of it, my understanding when they first brought it out was to stop dumb owners spending more money than they had and putting the clubs very existence into jeopardy. The current rules just maintains the status quo with the top clubs which makes it very difficult to catch up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I always thought it was strange that Arsenal would want to spend a huge amount on another wide player. In Saka and Martinelli, they've got the best wing combination in the Premiership already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just the name to sell to the idiots. and in case you haven’t noticed, the public absolutely hate footballers and how much they get paid for bizarre reason.

Keegans Export Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Reminds me a bit of when Spurs knew they were going to be selling Bale for a colossal sum and they started splashing the cash. The difference I suppose is that they pretty much knew they were going to sell Bale whereas Chelsea are going to have to seek buyers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d image that a fair few of those players are on insane wages— beyond the means of a well-run club. With Everton and Villa hitting FFP they’re running out of domestic clubs that can afford to buy their castoffs. I’d hope Nufc is smart enough to steer clear. There’s not much value for the money, and no reason to help them out in any way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
