it’s such a high risk strategy though. If any of these players end up permanently injured or not suited to the premier league, they are stuck with these 10-20 mill pound per year wages for another 8 years. 

Again; it’s not a risk if your rich and the suns are drops in the ocean, it’s all relative.

It's incredible stress on the manager and coaching staff. So much turnover, so much pressure for immediate results and for new players to gel with so many current players potential upset at being cast aside and pushed down the pecking order.

 

Real fine margins. Huge risk for reward.

It is with regards to FFP. Whether FFP is a real thing is for another discussion. 

Yes, so a slight FFP risk but look at what PSG have been doing and nothing had been done :lol:

 

Also the long contracts given our has mitigated FFP as well.

I know we all hate Chelsea but what they are doing is really smart imo. The money is absurd it’s true but it’s nothing in the grand scheme of it. 
 

They found a loophlole and have taking massive advantage. It’s quite clear Boehly isn’t trying to make a profit in terms of trading he’s just trying to increase the valuation of the club for a sale in the long term. 
 

Given we haven’t utilised the full financial clout of the PIF I’m guessing we are more of an investment than a sportswashing vehicle. 

 

He's playing an amazing short game (risky)

 

We are playing an amazing long game (low risk)

Chelsea will have to stop and relax a bit for the next few windows as FFP is over a 3 year period.

 

I think Todd is trying to cram it all in as soon as possible.

 

If it doesn't come off they'll be in trouble season after next.

Yeah you're right - am remembering the player of old. Still only 30.

 

 

 

I dunno man, Isco off the bench against Palace or Leeds for the last 30 would have offered us something different.

How many of these new players can Chelsea register for the Champions League? Wouldn't put it past them finishing 8th or something and winning it.

 

Also, would that fuck us over if we finished 4th?

If this deals been agreed turns out to be bullshit can we stick to posting this Jacque Talbot tweets in the appropriate Twitter bullshit thread?

 

I'd love to know how it went down. He receives a text 'there's been some movement on Caicedo and Arsenal' at 6.58am. 'What, what is it?'. 'Give me say, 16 minutes and I'll tell you'.

If you are not registered in a 25 man squad then you should be automatically available for a fee equal to one years salary. Selling club cannot refuse an offer at that level.

 

exceptions for players under the age of 21.

This is a great idea and much fairer than the current FFP rules, stops clubs hording players and having huge wage bills

No, there would be five clubs in the CL if that happened

It only fucks us over if an English team also wins the UEFA Cup.  The rules are a maximum of five teams; winners of the European Cup and UEFA Cup qualify for the CL groups automatically.  If two English teams win the big two UEFA tournaments, the 4th place team misses out

And we’ll never cease to see his posts here. :lol: 

 

Especially if we can’t stop seeing Edward’s posts. 

 

Him and that Frazer bloke from the same site have had quite a few scoops recently. Very hit and miss on the whole though.

 

Between them for us they broke out interest in Franca and that we'd agreed a deal for Ashby. Talbot also had an absolute stinker with Moukoko mind.

 

Another source for the mid-tier pile.

So effectively we want Man U to finish in the top four with us then.
