It will be like spending thousands on your credit card but only paying the min payment. But maxing out 20 cards then your min payments add up to more than you’re earning for ffp. Completely agree. Football changes Fast and guaranteed that either the club or player will get fucked off with something during these mammoth contracts causing problems and then a possible domino effect. Chelsea are going to find it so so difficult to get rid of a player who's on a huge contract, and if they can't, there's nothing they can do. It's like our problems with Hayden, Fraser etc just on a much, much bigger scale Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiemag Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 In someways it’s smart. Transfer fees seem to be inflating at ridiculous rates (mainly due to Chelsea). They are locking in all their business for the next 5-8 years before that inflation gets worse. The risk is that if the players fail, they won’t be able to get rid and also they will have minimal FFP space for the next 5-8 years to reinvest further into the squad. They will have to sell more young players to stay afloat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players can be one season wonders, pick up long term injuries or sit on their long term contacts and not be arsed. Unless they can be moved on, it will also stop them buying and new players two / three years down the line. I know...

astraguy Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 how many times has Kieran Tierney played center-back? That's my biggest worry we got lucky last season, And Arsenal can fuck off demanding a sale when Brentford let them off for fpp with that keeper days ago Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghandis Flip-Flop Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 5 hours ago, Ikon said: Also. isn't the maximum 5 year contract/amortization rule from UEFA only? Not the PL? Which means that Chelsea can still gain an advantage when it comes to handing out 8 year long contracts. I could be very wrong here mind. But what happens if they have a good year and qualify for Europe? Are they then in breach? Do they have to alter their squad? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we got him, I'd say it would be a good ending to a great transfer window. Don't think we'd bring in anymore than that in one go even if we could.

Viana Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I believe Lewis Hall is a midfielder that's moved backwards. If he's content being seen exclusively as a defender I'd rather pursue him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
