We're A Selling Club, 'Redefined'.

[Fernando 6,585]

I actually think if Mourinho stays for some time at the club we would make a lot of money in the long run.

Cause think about that one example at Real Madrid with Varane. How Mourinho was very influential in the growth of Varane in the years he was there?

Say Mourinho has a positive impact in Zouma, Ake and such just by playing them here and there it will increase their value.

Look at how people though highly of Kalas after "only" that game against Liverpool.

So if this is something the board and Mourinho is on about, the profits will increase by implementing such role that Mourinho has talked about. Bringing two youths into the team every season.

If so one happens to be outstandingly amazing then one of our seniors we will keep them.

But this bringing of the youth into the team will increase the awareness and value of these youngsters.

Destroying their careers? Hardly, we actually letting them use us as a platform to launch their careers forward if they don't stay at the club.

What you posted is flawed because you dont take into consideration the amount of money spent while those players were in loan or at our youth academy!

It is not free to maintain those things, so the net profit goes down to almost zero...

And how much does it cost to Chelsea to have a player on loan or part of the youth academy with other youngsters?

Actually FFP does not counts the youth academy expenditure.

It's like a tax write off.

We got £18m for KDB, who signed for £6.7m and had only been at the club for 2 years prior. Not to mention what Alex mentioned about the loan fees we received..

And what do you mean by 'youth academy'?, to have them at our academy isn't costing anything on the FFP books, it's excluded.

I didint say we ruined any of Mata, Lukaku or De bruyne, but we have ruined many careers like Mccheran, Bertrand, Kakuta, Van Aanholt to name a few

So we ruined them, nothing to with the fact that those players listed didn't do enough? It's our fault Van Aanholt can't defend for shit? It's our fault Kakuta is a lazy clown who couldn't be bothered to realise his potential?

Works both ways, or do you believe it's our fault Conor Clifford plays in league 2?

Why do you have to be negative all the time? Your making lionsden look like special juan.

Been reading some articles about our policy with youths.

Seems like a lot of butt hurts out there that we are doing such a good business.

Earler on i used to buy phones and once i bought a new one, i still kept the old one in my drawer.

Of late, when i buy a new phone i sell my old one and use that money towards buying the new one.

Just Saying!!

Nice article by Jake Cohen covering this system..

Part of the reason costs are so low is because for Chelsea's best prospects, not only are their wages covered by the loanee club, but there's a loan fee on top of that. For example, the combined FFP cost of Thibaut Courtois, Romelu Lukaku, and Victor Moses was £2.5m last season (or less than two months worth of Fernando Torres).
