Vegetable 830 Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Registration slots aside, we have just 9 homegrown players, including somewhat fictional Castillo in first team and U21 players won't be U21 forever. Also, not sure about RLC, Chalo and Gallagher situation, so yeah, hope they have a plan for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow. Idiotic to say least. Given how the Raphinia circus was (not) handled and how Enzo circus was (not) handled, our new PR team undergone the refreshment as great as the medical team did.

Superblue 6,372 Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 1 hour ago, TheHulk said: In how many installment is this? If we're talking FFP requirements, instalments are irrelevant. The transfer fee will be amortised over the length of the contract so certainly the base fee of 70m will be split over 7.5 years. I'm not sure how the add ons are included, I would assume that either they are realised for FFP in the year in which they are achieved or once achieved, they are then amortised over the rest of the contract length. It certainly allows the club to spend more now and spread funds further, but I guess presents a new risk in itself by having players tied to huge contract lengths if they don't work out. We've already found in the past how difficult it can be to move some players on due to their wages. Of course on the flip side if some of these players prove to be a hit, then it looks an absolute masterstroke. This is where the Enzo deal causes problems because the release clause is one where the player must activate it which means Chelsea would need to pay Enzo the 120m to activate the clause himself. I believe by paying the player, it's treated in a different way for FFP and the whole 120m would be absorbed into the first year. What I am interested in is the conversation @Vesper and @YorkshireBlue were having regarding the sale and its potential impact on FFP. IF it's true that we effectively start again from zero for FFP because of the sale then that is huge. There are still some big FFP liabilities on the books (20m for Lukaku for example), so if they are essentially written off for FFP requirements it presents a significant degree of flexibility (Badiashille and Mudryk for example would be around half of Lukaku's FFP expense per annum).

Drinkwater and bakayoko were in one season team with sensational teammate but they weren't the centre of the team! Lukaku has had one great season at inter under a stats pov thank Conte, but failed in all the others season and his skills as control of the ball ecc are always been shit.

Turns out, was never the case. So we should not believe everything we see on twitter. Could also be a Shakhtar story to set Arsenal under pressure. What do you think now ?

If Mudryk comes we have to sell/unregister players for PL squad now. So unless we sell we wont be buying anyone else likely unless their u21s but very doubtful.

I talk about player like: lukaku, drinkwater, bakayoko and others like ziyech, koulibay, sterling, pulisic! A couple of millions is a nice way of saying 50m. We are massively overpaying here similar to how we did on Cucu or Kepa. Not that he is that bad but the mere difference between fair market value and transfer price. From his highlight reels he looks like a lightning quick dribbler with a bag full of tricks and that explosive burst of acceleration with a decent shot but his passing is just terribly inconsistent. Also I can not see him working without that overlap on the left so Cucu or Hall need to step it up. Vegetable 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
