Gundalf

Youngers bought in the last year: Ugo: £23.5m Chukwu: £15m Angelo £13m Casadei: £13m Santos: £11m Fofana: £10m Slonina: £8m Moreira: £0m That makes £93,5m for 8 players - an average of £11,7m per player. I bet my 2 balls that all of them will be worth more than that in 1 or 2 years. Some even significantly more than that. This is an investment in the future of this club, we will benefit from that either way: either these players have the quality to strenghten our squad (and most look like they could) or we sell them with some profit. Especially Angelo, Casadei and Santos will be seen as some of the smartest moves of the last 10 years. Have I missed some Brazilians that we signed?? Bc I always hear people here talking about signing so many Brazilian youngsters but we only signed 2?

For footballing reasons, yes, but obviously we dont need that money so desperately.

Well it sticks to the rules 😇 Just like the long contract thing to spread transfer fee - maybe UEFA will close that loophole as well soon. Ig the moaning from the likes of Neville and Carragher will start when we sell these kids for double the money. "THEY CHEAT WITH FFP ---- AGAIN----!!111 *cry* *cry* *cry* Idk man, u tell me, I have lost count^^ Im sure I forgot some Angelo, Santos, Casadei, Chukwu, Rennes guy....anyone else?

Is it even that much? Santos is primary squad, Angelo almost. Who else is there this summer? We already spent 130m on first team additions for this year on Nkunku, Jackson, Gusto, with Caicedo almost 220m. Only bc some deals were agreed earlier doesnt make them for free^^

Nothing in theory but why would Lavia accept this when he could play first team football with Liverpool? Its just another little loophole that Boehly is exploiting, just like the one with the long contracts. If u do it too often and too obvious, its gonna be closed. And the player has to accept this. On the other hand, when Poch decides to keep that guy in the squad for next season, ofc the fee counts on FFP.

If so we would have accepted the West Ham bid for Gallagher instantly. He would be pure profit.

Bc he was registered for the first team. We register this guy for the academy, loan him out and only register him for the first team when he comes back. Additions to the academy dont count. You count as an academy player when your under 21 and are registered for the Academy 1.1.3 Academy Player means for the purpose of this Appendix 5 only, a male player (other than an Amateur Player or a Trialist) who is in an age group between Under 9 to Under 21 and who is registered for and who is coached by or plays football for or at a Club which operates an Academy pursuant to the Youth Development Rules save for any Player who has made 10 or more starting appearances for

You lost your credibility when u claimed that Mbappe is under 21 lol.

What the hell did he do in his holidays???

Brighton fans 🤣

Nop. Different budget, different departement.

People say we cant be fast? First rumor today and 2 hours later its a here we go

70m for someone who scored 9 goals in Serie A, on par with Tammy, less than 34 yo Arnautovic. Oh my god this striker market is rotten.

Mbappe would be on 80.000 per hour. So that must be a long session.

Klopp and Poch - brothers in pain.

We could easily double that 🤑😏

We dont know if even one of them could. Both are kids

But they were negotiating a lot. Just Atalanta arent as bitchy as Brighton 🤣

What? United is after Hojlund for months

Yes we did get our money back for Morata, but he was absolutely useless. We replaced Costa with Morata, which was a clear downgrade for a lot of money and was a huge influenc in our extremely decreased number of goals in the 17/18 season. Ampadu: another useless player, didnt strenghten the team at all Rüdiger was absolute shambles before Tuchel came. Remember that 99% of Chelseas fanbase wanted him being sold to Spurs before his Tuchel revival. His reception today is heavily influenced by his Tuchel performance, before that we was basically seen like Cucurella today Emerson was a backup, yes, but to who?? Fucking Alonso. And yes, Alonso scored a few goals but everyone knew how limited he was and that we kept him way too long. So instead of buying a LB that is actually better than Alonso we chose to just buy a mediocre backup. Not making the team any better Barkley: another player that didnt give the team anything Drinkwater Bakayoko as well Only Giroud was a useful player. We were champion in 2017, but the problems in the squad were visible, we heavily relied on Hazard. But we had a good foundation to become a dominant force in English football. But instead of actually strengthening the squad with quality buys, Marina and Emenalo in their hybris chose to just add backups and additions to the team. Only 1 player was actually useful and it was no surprise that we didnt get into top 4 in this year. It may have not been a financial disaster, but this transfer window was a turning point in Chelseas history. After this window we werent able to challenge for the title anymore.

This was Emenalo/Marina masterclass. Still the worst transfer window ever:

And this will be his coach next season:

Not that bad. Definitely something to work with.
