They are writing the rules for the new FFP. It has been said that this year is almost a free pass. It is why Barca does not give two fucks about all the players they are getting.

It’s about 18m overpriced but fair to say LWB is locked down for aslong as Chilly and Cruella can co-exist.

Glad Levi doesnt appear to be leaving permanently.would have been another Guehi..(Tomori atleast was given a chance before being sold prematurely)

In EXCESS of 52.5. 
most expensive left back in history by quite a margin 

 

Mendy cost £51.75m, so there's only a slight difference.

Any links to reports stating such?

yeah and that should have been a warning as well

at that time 51,75m pounds were only 57m euros tho

So much for Chelsea going broke without Roman. I just hope they have a way to make it sustainable.

If i had to guess it's looking like a similar plan to the early Roman years, spend our way to parity with the big two then focus on the sustainablity profit side of things once the success arrives which is where i'd guess the big money signings while still happening will be less frequent and we'd be looking at getting Slonina, Colwill, Hutchinson etc in the side.

Hopefully we do that second bit better this time as we really stood still with squad building circa 07-10.

where did you read that

the highest figure I read were 68m euros which is 57m gbp.

anway, we should walk away at this point. this is just too much. it is crazy. Cucu is good but not world class. That fee should get you every lb in the world bar phonzie&theo.

Apparently it will be around £55m and £7m potential add ons.

k thx

this is just absurd.

Sorry we should walk from that deal. If we offered that kind of money to bayern or milan they would start thinking.

The conversion rate should have no bearing when we're discussing English clubs. Either way, it's a bit rich, IMO.

Paying that much for someone that isn't of the level of Hakimi (he cost just under £60m twelve months ago) or such isn't great business. Hope he turns out to be a good investment, though.

We essentially paid more to keep Colwill. Let's hope he has some season.

I will not, repeat, will not endure another season with Alonso at LWB. 

Sorry, just not going to happen.
