They’re pissing it away and will fall into a situation where a summer or two they’ll be massively limited with what they’ve got. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 They must be going to ship some players out. Their squad is absolutely insane, apart from the absolute inexplicable absence of a centre forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The value of the transfer is spread out over the length of the contract in FFP, which is why they are doing it. And so if they pay £70 million it will count slightly less than £10 million for this year in FFP terms I believe. It's the same reason Mike Ashley was giving out those long contracts when he was here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even on a Subconscious level players will know they can rest on their laurels for a long time and still get paid before needing to perform.

The ones that are salty about not playing enough will definitely start taking the piss. I absolutely hate what they're doing, and I 'm rooting against them big time going forward. So glad we haven't gone down that road. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Actually how good is Mudryk? I know he's got a good reputation and Shakhtar are playing hardball, but surely someone playing in the Ukrainian leagues isn't worth £100m? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 In actuality I'm dissapointed in Mudryk. He's spent the last few weeks posting about Arsenal all the time and is now going over to Chelsea, I assume because they've thrown a bunch of money at him and his agent. Ridiculous guy. .

All it took was Arsenal dithering a bit thinking that they had a free run at him and the vile twats swooped in to buy a player they didn't need, for a fee that's too much and wages that will no doubt be exorbitant. Arsenal will be seething no doubt which is kind of funny in it's own way. Hate Chelsea though, disgustingly run club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegans Export Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Amazing what you can do when a £1.6bn debt is just wiped out... Obviously I know this has no impact on FFP calculations but it clearly does have an effect on a business or individuals spending power. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Shakhtar became aware of Chelse's rank desperation and willingness to throw money away, and so they've been holding out for a deal with them instead.

Yep, smart move by Shaktar and any other club that has a player that Chelsea express an interest in. Just sit tight and wait for them to come along and overpay ridiculously.

LionOfGosforth Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Chelsea are so dense like. It's amazing to watch. You see the relative success that clubs like us, Brighton (who utterly humiliated Chelsea in Potter's first game) and Arsenal have had this season, it's literally right there and quite obvious if you aren't thick as pig shit and pay attention. Chelsea will never ever learn. A lot of the ingredients are basically identical...a clear plan, team spirit, good coaching, players who care and believe. Chelsea have none of that. They lose a game, they just go out and spend more. They're fucking idiotic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
