Not a transfer but that new contract for Cole Palmer is absolutely fucking stupid, absolutely no need whatsoever 

Expand  

Surely as his old deal was on the now disallowed rules then he should revert to amortisation under the new rules ie over the next 5 years? They are clearly trying to take the piss stretching him out further, no doubt citing he was originally on the old loophole. Fair enough the payrise is understandable but fuck off Chelsea with adding years too

Not at all.

 

Just saying, it would be easy for us to do what Brighton do. Sell a star player or two every season and have no worries about FFP or signing a bunch of £30-40m players, in the hope of selling one for twice the fee within a year or two. It's what will keep Brighton a team who'll challenge 7-10th for a while, before they have one summer where it doesn't click.

What Brighton do is far from easy or everybody would be doing it. They progressed from being in the Championship in 2017 to reaching the last 16 in the Europa league last season, so I’d say they’re doing something right and this idea that they have a ceiling we don’t is madness really. What gives us the edge is our owners’ wealth, but we cannot use that due to FFP. There’s no reason Brighton can’t make CL instead of us if they continue to recruit well and have the right manager.

It’s a yearly rant so i might as well get it out the way now…

 

All loans, sell-on and buy back clauses along with multi club models should be banned.

 

If you need a player you buy him if you don’t or can’t afford him someone else gets him. This would ripple all the way down the pyramid and leave it a lot less top heavy.

 

I say this even though over the coming decades it’s exactly what we are going to benefit from. Think it’s awful and just getting worse..

I'd also argue that there should be a maximum in how long you spread the payments of a transfer fee.  e.g. 1-2 years not across the length of the contract.

Agreed. It's why I'm more in favour of a  salary cap (that you can't just get out of via loaning players out) than I am the FFP we've currently got. 

 

FFP is encouraging player hoarding and speculative recruitment on an enormous scale, and clubs with the resources to do so are able to reinforce the established hierarchy by effectively controlling the supply and demand of talent in the transfer market.

I wonder what a player like Osimhen is thinking when agreeing to go to Chelsea. Is it just the size of the contract that matters or does he genuinely think they’re going to be successful as well? They’re in the conference league and seem like a mess. I always assume a player like that will demand a CL club.

I'm at the stage where I'm sick of us following rules and 'building slowly' - I'd like the club to test the waters and sign just 3 world class stars - 50m a pop - and see what happens. 
There's always a workaround later as Chelsea and Man C have shown us...

Imagine if Chelsea had been taken over by Arabs?! The amount of pushback they would be getting would be insane

Just get to the PL, London and earn loads of money I guess. Not too bad overall.

World class? 50m a pop? 50m doesn’t even get Dominic Solanke

PL and Uefa would come down on us like a ton of bricks

To be fair his whole Napoli career is a mess right now.
