The Glaziers have taken around a billion during their time there. Whilst not quite at Man Utd level, Chelsea also have massive commercial revenue. That's something we will slowly start to build to, but it will take time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Chelsea aren't actually that far behind Man U, £530m vs £650m turnover in the last season pre covid, whereas we're starting miles behind at about £150m.

TRon Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 13 hours ago, Kimbo said: 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 not just Chelsea though, it's even clubs like us. We were run by the tightest owner in the history of football, but he still ended up paying PL wages to Championship players like Ritchie, Gayle, Clark etc, now we have to subsidise their wages to get shot of them, because genuine championship clubs can't afford them. It does make our more cautious approach more understandable seeing as we aren't going to be allowed to spend our way to the top because we aren't Chelsea.

leffe186 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Rumour is that Spurs are after Zaniolo, and if that doesn’t work out then they’ll be in the race for Paqueta. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't understand Roma wanting rid of him but if they've got Dybala for nowt, manage to get Wijnaldum for cheap and manage to sell Zaniolo for big money I reckon they'd consider that good business.

Two cruciate ligament ruptures have fucked Zaniolo’s career (compared to what it should be like!)- can’t see him moving for big money tbh.

I wouldn't say that. He's come back looking like a completely different player. He's bulked up massively, adapted his game and been playing really well the past season.

The Prophet Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 It'll be some meltdown if Paqueta ends up at City. Would be yet another sickeningly good option for them though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got enough movement and awareness to negate the lost pace too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee_Johnny Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Good article in i newspaper today—unnamed ITK—describing strategy and why differ from golf investment and from Man City/Chelksi strategies.

mighty__mag Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I wonder if just because of Bruno we stand a bigger shot than any other side in securing Paqueta. Or it's just simply down to money as usual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His release is peanuts, maybe we can do a Pope and give it them in installments. I'd take him as a wide player that can play striker if Wilson is out.

The Prophet Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 He'd be able to fill in for ASM or Wilson, he presses well, provides pace on the counter and has an eye for goal. He'd be an immediate upgrade on Fraser and Wood on the short to medium term. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
