He’s on 240k a week 

 

no chance 

I just don't understand that wage (not doubting/questioning accuracy of the figure).

 

Why would you need to offer him that? He'll have been on max 100,000 Euros living in Leipzig, which while a fun little city is like a candle to the sun when compared to London.

 

Surely the draw of coming and playing in the #bestleagueintheworld, living in London and genuinely competing to the Premier League and the Champions League would be enough to get him to sign on for a paltry £100,000 a week or so.

Then he will have to stay at Chelsea, I don’t see him getting that anywhere else.

Latest reports today is that Tuchel wants to keep him for depth.

[emoji38] Only just the 50 million Pound release clause on an 18 year old then, Palmeiras?

He’s not taking that kind of wage cut.  
 

we can pay him £160k. And Chelsea can keep paying him the rest for the next 2 years.  
 

they can have a healthy sell on clause too.

I think he means why did Chelsea have to offer him that much when they signed him from Leipzig

At first I thought if you sign a striker for 50m, you going to have to give him 200k+ per week. 
 

But I doubt Nunes earns that. 
 

Chelsea’s wage structure is a lot higher than most. CHO is on 120k I believe. Kante 325k. So Werner being somewhere in the middle makes sense.

Salaries in football are so dysfunctional. Take players like Pulisic or Werner, really they should be taking a step down to get their career going again, but their wages mean that only the super rich can afford them.

It’s sort of a tactic to make it hard to compete though isn’t it? Pulisic/Werner/Martial etc could all relaunch their career at someone like us, Villa etc but the wages just make it very dangerous. It’s the whole reason Everton have burnt through money to look worse than before.

At what point — if at all — does that FFP kick in and it bites Chelsea / Man United in the ass? How can they afford to pay 200- 300 K a week to bit players? They’ve got the five subs now, which I suppose helps.

 

Answering my own question: they’ve create the rules (ffp, 5 subs) to consolidate their position. If the league starts to inconvenience them in the least, they’ll blow the whole thing up and f*ck off to the esl. Barcelona has already committed themselves. 15% of their future La Liga television rights is 15% of nothing.

Im suprised that you think this will have come as a shock to the hedge fund that provided them the funds. I’d imagine that there are break clauses and all sorts written into the deal. In fact it probably, if anything, has done more to kill off their ESL dreams. If they suddenly crash out of La Liga I’d imagine that they’d owe a significant amount of money to the hedge fund that’s given em the dosh for the rights.

In the case of Manchester United they have huge revenues. The Glaziers have taken around a billion during their time there.
