There must be a lot of dodgy accountinh going on because some of these seals seem ridiculous otherwise

They are swap deals in theory but there will be some ridiculous transfer fees getting written to the accounts.

Yeah.

 

Aren't they specifically being referred to as 'separate deals' rather than swaps, mostly?

 

Obviously, if i swap a 20m player with you, that's one thing, but if i sell you a player for 20 and you sell me one for 20, we're both claiming the full 20 revenue in one nice immediate PSR satisfying hit whilst spreading the 20 we spent over 5 years.

 

I mean, it is very clever pushing money around but clubs are forced to do this because of badly thought out rules that clearly do not work.

 

Sawiris (our chairman) did an interview with the Torygraph the other week in which he said these rules are anti-competitive, entrench the leading clubs, and reduce football to an accountancy thing where you can't improve your team even if you have the money, and want to do so.

 

He's spot on. 

 

The sound of the PL going on about investigating 'bad faith' transfers is ridiculous. 

 

I mean, are they going to investigate high value sales of home grown players when it is precisely because of their own stupid rules that home grown players have become so attractive to sell?

He was absolutely spot on, let’s hope he Lawyers up and fights it. 
 

At the end of the day the league has had ample opportunity to create rules which are designed to create competitive balance but they refuse to do so and keep doubling down.

It's since the yanks took over the majority of clubs all this shit started happening. Before long they'll have 14 clubs run by fellow yanks and they'll do even more damage.

Deal collapsed as KDH wants Chelsea. Chelsea assembling such a bloated average squad. They’ll be saved by probably selling Palmer to Man Utd next summer for £80m+ 

[Magpie]

What the fuck is he going there for?? Painfully obvious to see what's going to happen. 

[Yorkie]

I hate anyone who wants to go to Chelsea.

Elvis Costello had it right.

The manager brought him on massively last season? Even if you ignore the fact Chelsea are bigger than Brighton and will offer more wages, it's obvious why he'd go there.

[The College Dropout]

Glad players are pushing back against this BS. 

 

In American sports players go wherever they are told right ?

Of course, Chelsea is as appealing as it gets for any player. Despite this I stand by my initial statement.

Generally speaking yes. Certain players will negotiate “no trade” clauses into their contracts.

Dewsbury-Hall is a decent player. Potentially a good deal for Chelsea if they can send players like Broja the other way.

[Sibierski]

Caicedo / Enzo / Palmer their set up.

 

So which one do they drop? Or do they move Palmer RW, in which case, why the fuck are they targeting RWs?

 

It’s not a good deal for Chelsea. Still got likes of Lavia who won’t get minutes. Sterling high costs on LW. It’s a very bloated squad that’s just kicking the can down the road.

People love to bitch and moan about Chelsea's spending, but there's a reason to why they can spend as much as they do. They've sold homegrown talent worth hundreds of billions over the last few years.

Yup.

 

Can you even imagine the reaction if we sold a talent like Lewis Hall? Or Maatsen who just played in the Champions League final?

 

But yet, such annoyance when Chelsea reap the benefits of it.
