The College Dropout Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 4 hours ago, Solitude20 said: Read my post again. Chelsea did the exact same thing 12 months ago, and I gave examples for worse deals by other teams. So the idea that only Saudi does that isn’t true. He was literally sold at book value. I don’t get your point then. The others might be bad transfers. But Chelsea will be the only team to get all of their money back and all of the wages off the books. Maguire will be let go for free and likely with his wages subsidised for the remainder of us Man U contract. Lukaku was loaned out and some of his wages subsidised, as he’s not going to Saudi - Chelsea will have to do something similar again or keep him. Koulibali would be the best defender in Saudi. I’m not criticising what it might bring the Saudi league - I’m criticising what it will bring Chelsea, nobody else would offer it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Yeah, the players are mostly saleable and good players, Chelsea would just normally have to take a much bigger hit to get them out the door. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Have to be looking at a deal like Enzo to Chelsea as a similar situation, I suppose. Obviously Chelsea are deranged, but if I was West Ham I would be mentioning it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re gonna make 200m+ this window from sales so again will be fine. As raised earlier Arsenals ability to spend 200m odd every window with precious little from sales is more interesting.

Guest Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 If he costs £100m, they'll not have to spend on that position again for about 10-12 years. He's worth every penny for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see him doing it that long, he seems in good nick and like he'd look after himself. He's 10x the player Henderson is/was and he's still a big member of the England and Liverpool squads at 33.
