Gallowgate Toon Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Feels like we're way more likely to go for Perrone for a tenth of the price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Still think Bellingham would be "the one" if we went really big on a single player. Again, that's not saying we'd get him, he'll have better offers I'm sure, but if we intend blowing the beans on a single player then I'd go for him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionOfGosforth Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Chelsea, if you believe all the shite people write, are in for every half decent player in world football, especially anyone we'd like to sign it seems Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this thread earlier someone was talking about how well have a whole presentation ready for someone like him; here’s how you fit in exactly and here’s how I will make you the best possible player you can be, etc. Ten minutes in person with Eddie and he’s ours.

Ikon Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 As nice and dreamy signing Enzo would be I don’t think he’s worth that much. Especially when you consider that we could get two super good players for the price. Or quite a few young ones with star potential that might be almost as good in a couple of years. Collectively/overall we would become stronger putting that amount on 2-3 players for example. Would be extremely surprised if we are in for him and I’m not sure he would come to us either.

Yep, think it's cloud cuckoo land that we'd even consider spending that amount on one player. No chance, don't care who it is. Not in January and not until our income starts to really grow.

Ikon Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 (edited) Would much rather get Maddison and say Kone for example from BMG if we have the money. Im hoping for the likes of Franca and Perrone to name two younger potential stars. With a more proven 1st team wide player.

Keegans Export Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 The key thing is that we're not one key player away from the sort of squad we need. If we were then yeah you just spend what it takes (eg Man City with Haaland), but I'd rather see us get two or three in the Botman/Bruno mould rather than one £100m superstar.

Crooked as fuck. How's it any different to our owners buying the club and wiping out the debt the club had to Ashley? As far as EPL FFP is concerned Chelsea haven't been given a clean slate, the debt to Abramovic made no difference to that. Chelsea have much higher revenue than us and so much more ability to spend while staying within FFP limits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how they stand with FFP with sponsorships and player amortization but if they were warned, I guess it's close. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should we have a good season or two after stretching FFP to it's extreme, say spending 1bill on players, then PIF sell on to a private Saudi company, are we debt free as regards FFP ?
