So going for him now or summer makes no odds then 

It depends on how things were, FFP wise, in the 2020/21 season. That season is included in this year's FFP calculation, but drops off the books for next year's reckoning. If it was a year in which we had an FFP deficit, then it dropping off the books is helpful. If, however, we had a surplus that year then it dropping off the books is not helpful. I don't know how the books finished up then, but the income was pretty healthy that year thanks in no small part to an enjoyable evening in Oporto. 🙂

If the 2020 summer is included in that though, that's when we bought Werner, Havertz, Ziyech, Chilwell, Mendy etc and didn't really make any big sales if I remember rightly. It was more so players being moved on at end of contracts like Willian and Pedro so I would assume transfers wise that summer may have been a big deficit. May just depend on how everything falls into which assessment period, etc.

I knew this rumour wasn't over with for the transfer window. Looking forward to one more rollercoaster of endless speculation from Twitter that everyone takes as gospel, as everyone calls Boehly a useless American cunt who doesn't understand our fine British sport before he somehow ends up joining Barcelona.

Unless we kiss Benfica’s ass and beg for forgiveness, why would they even come to the table again?

If, and that’s a big IF they agree to come to the table I wonder if they’d work with us on the price a bit. Maybe offer €90m as an initial payment with add ons eventually reaching the full €100m+ 

That’s still an incredible deal for someone they just recently bought for peanuts.

Because it doesn't benefit them to permanently break a relationship with a club any more than it does us.

In years to come they may need a big sale with us the only (well resourced) club with a need for the player they're trying to sell.

Unless I see a picture of Enzo holding up a Chelsea shirt I can’t even muster any excitement about us potentially going in for him again. Even the very reliable and supposedly trustworthy Portuguese reporters and outlets made it sound like a 100% done deal last time. So why would we believe any of them now?

I'm waiting for Ornstien. Normally I'd do more digging myself but no way am I doing that again after having my hopes up.
