Didn't they close the loophole where you could amortise over 8 years etc So surely Chelsea are worse off as they are gonna book this cost over 5 years, but have the player on for longer which is a risk if he is shit, gets injured etc Unless I'm missing something, or they have yet another trick up their sleeve etc...

The way I see it is, having 8 a year contracts helps keep the inflated resale value up as the have more years remaining and means players are less likely to wait out contracts expiring and leaving on a free.

gbandit Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Personally think signing players on high wages on 8 year contracts is a massive recipe for players regressing. They’re absolutely made as soon as this contract comes through. They don’t even need to think about playing football anymore. Unless you’re someone with an amazing attitude you can easily get warped by that contract, especially if your teammates don’t really give a shit either. They’ve got absolutely zero soul as a team, especially binning off Gallagher, just a team of overpaid mercenaries Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a venture capitalist that doesn't have a fucking clue. Hope they sink like a stone. They've had it far too good over the last 20-odd years, Chelsea. Spending the GDP of a small planet and still not becoming a dominant force in world football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menace Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 All this yet second part of the season they were one of the best teams in the prem. They'll eventually click and they'll be a decent outfit. Boehly hasn't got a fucking clue but they've wrapped up some serious talent and younger talent too, so which one is it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The long contracts are too mitigate paying high wages somewhat. They don’t pay anywhere near the basic wage for first teamers that the others do anymore. It’s why Mount and Gallagher weren’t overly keen to sign new deals and they’re hoovering up talent from midtable Euroball/lesser leagues or age based. Their wages go up 2-300% but compared to a top PL it’s nowhere near but the financial security of the long deal means they’re more inclined to sign as it’s still a huge rise compared to established pros. In a way it makes sense but to me it breeds complacency and I can’t wait to see it fail, again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely don’t believe that, unless you only mean Man City, Man U and Arsenal. Might be paying them less than they used to, but it’s still comparable surely?

That’s who they measure themselves against Id imagine. It’s nowt like what they used to be. Most of the new lads are rumoured to be on £100-120k max. 3 minutes ago, Nobody said: The likes of Fernandes and Caicedo have to be on a canny wedge, surely? I'd be pretty pissed off with my agent if a club signed me for that much and I'm making less than I would at an Arsenal or Man Utd. Their fifty thousand Brazilians and talents from around Europe is probably different mind. They’ll have still doubled at least their wages, if not more given how recently they’d arrived from South America, and it’s guaranteed for 8 years at least. Security is a big thing.

kingxlnc Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Would love us to resign Merino and sell Longstaff, 25m is a no brainer. Merino could fill in for either Tonali or Bruno or even play with them. Joe and Willock could come in depending on the opposition. Solid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 (edited) Ridiculously good signing. They also manage to do them quickly/quietly. Doubt we will sign another CM but I think we lack in that area. We don’t have quality in depth there. We barely have any backup of similar standard. Edited August 8 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
