robs brother Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 26 minutes ago, GeordieDazzler said: Everton after Viktor Gyokeres seems a much smarter use of the Gordon money than Gallagher. Hits the ground running, they stay up, if they go down they have a proven goalscorer at that level. You're right A Brighton reject has got to be good value We were very sorry to see him go but the competition on the south coast is tough Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say Joao Felix, Coutinho, Lukaku and Pogba definitely weren’t; and Grealish and Dembele don’t look worth the money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Chelsea simply buying players to stop others from getting them at this point. Not giving a single fuck about FFP. And why should they tbh? It's toothless and the punishments for breaking it are absolutely shite, almost encouraging teams to take the piss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s one of the many reasons it’s in trouble IMO. Thirty years a ago they reached the milestone where one player at the New York Yankees was earning more money than the entire roster of another club.

Except we would absolutely be held accountably and made example of if it was us. Have there really been much in the way of press rumblings questioning all of this.

Man u are in a decent position to qualify for the womens champions league for the first time, but they won't do it if they lose Russo now. But, she can go for a free in the summer so it's their last chance to make some money!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) I don't get what's in it for some of these players signing for Chelsea. Unless they're naive or only interested in the money/contract Edited January 30, 2023 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 2 minutes ago, SUPERTOON said: They have spent 600 million in 2 transfer windows, surely they have ? Not as far as I'm aware. They've offset it against income from sales along with ludicrously long contracts. The contest lengths were a loophole that UEFA have now closed. Seems like a high risk strategy from Chelsea to circumvent FFP rules. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to know Potter's thoughts on the whole strategy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
