Duppy Conqueror 1,557 Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Madueke and Petrovic money would pay for Hato and a quality starting keeper. Then we at most might need a quality starting RCB (although we do have plenty of options there already) Then just outgoings for me. We need 3 options at every position but no way we'll keep 36 players in squad so good that we go for players that can play multiple positions and always have cobham for a crisis.

(Rui Santos | @cnnportugal) 😵😴 Cheap Kuntz still probably haven't spent the money we gave them for Matic let alone Luiz or Enzo. Should be a player added for that fee. mkh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAPHOD2319 4,824 Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 We may not be buying anyone until we satisfy the UEFA conditions to register new players for Champions League. I think we need to be 50M more pounds in the profit. I'm sure we will have a few more incomings, but it might not be before we get ahead of the profit margin for player sales. The CWC money does not apply, it must be player sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,996 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 The Arse fan meltdown over Madueke is historic.

Sunderland will rue quibbling over the pricetag. Should get done. Wait, so Bournemouth rejected a 5 million clause to keep Kepa, only to go and sign Petrovic? 14 hours ago, mkh said: Kiano Dyer: A lot of clubs across Europe would like to sign Dyer who feels his opportunity at Chelsea will not come. Likely to leave and will be a big loss. This is a shame, Dyer is a proper midfield talent. I just hope he doesn't walk to another PL club like Liverpool.

ZAPHOD2319 4,824 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 2 hours ago, Vesper said: why?? grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr The prize money from the Club World Cup will not directly allow Chelsea to register new players for the Champions League. While the prize money is a significant sum, it is separate from the funds needed to comply with UEFA's financial regulations regarding player registration. Chelsea needs to generate more than £60 million through player sales to register their new signings for the Champions League, due to a breach of UEFA's financial rules. Here's why: UEFA's Financial Fair Play (FFP) Regulations: UEFA has financial regulations, including a "List A transfer balance" requirement, which means that any spending on new players for the Champions League must be covered by the income from player sales. Chelsea's Breach: Chelsea has been fined by UEFA for breaching these regulations and has agreed to a sporting restriction that prevents them from registering new players unless they have a positive transfer balance, according to the BBC. "List A" Restriction: "List A" refers to the squad that Chelsea submitted to UEFA for the Champions League. New signings and players like Romeo Lavia and Wesley Fofana, who were injured or not registered last season, need to be added to this list, and their costs must be offset by player sales. Club World Cup Prize Money: The prize money earned from the Club World Cup is considered separate revenue and cannot be used to offset the required positive transfer balance for player registration. Focus on Player Sales: Chelsea needs to actively sell players to raise the necessary funds to comply with UEFA's regulations and register their new signings.

Strike 7,539 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 16 hours ago, Pizy said: If we manage to get them to pay a guaranteed £50m for Madueke that is FANTASTIC business. We’ve seen during this CWC that he’s already been tossed out to the left wing where he’s even worse than he is in natural RW position and that’s before Estevão even arrives. That tells you all you need to know about Maresca’s thinking. Even Nkunku is ahead of him currently. He’ll be a good squad option for Arse just as he would be here if he stays. But for £50m it’s too good to pass up. Hasn't he been tossed out because of the transfer interest in him? He was ahead of Nkunku and even Sancho, Neto last season. And there's interest in him because he's been good (not spectacular) and has given glimpses that he can be of great use in a game - constantly takes on defenders, always looking to progress the ball. I can see BlueCo taking a 50m + deal but I don't see how replacing Madueke (who is 23, used to the Premier League and has consistently got better in the last two seasons) with a teenager like Estevao is making the squad better? If we are looking to replace Madueke, a good player will cost more than 50m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't collapse. For the most part bar the first transfer window where mistakes were made, we keep making very smart decisions from a financial standpoint. Our players sales are great. We invest and sell in plenty of homegrown talent which is all pure profit as well. This group is money savvy and they will not want their investment down the drain. Dodgers, Lakers, Chelsea. The other two franchises alongside us are the premier clubs in their sport, or just about the top. Just let it happen. Atomiswave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are looking to replace Madueke, a good player will cost more than 50m. Neto played more minutes in PL last season. And pretty much won the battle. Don't think it's even debatable who is a better player. And unlike Noni can actually cover left side as well pretty solid. If this tournament is anything to go by Palmer is going to play his primary role again often. Also Estevao is not just some random youngster but Neymar level of talent. Ofc you open up a space for him. Fernando and dimmas 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikkiCFC 8,381 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 We won't put Jackson on transfer list but I hope Aston Villa push hard for him in which case we would sell him no doubt. 60-70m package should do it. bigbluewillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAPHOD2319 4,824 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 6 hours ago, Vesper said: I knew all that I meant WHY are those source of raising funding rules in place? cash is cash fuck UEFA cunts On UEFA’s side, it is pretty much a source of income and probably makes other teams feel like it is a way to stop the biggest teams from just fielding a massively superior team….. but that happens all the time…so back to income from a luxury tax. The fact that they require it from players sales just a way to appease other teams and make themselves look like they are stewards of the game. This same ownership group pays Major League Baseball a luxury tax every year for the Dodgers exceeding the salary cap. Last year they paid $103m in the luxury tax. They look at it as a part of doing business to having a competitive team to win titles. The Yankees paid $62.5m last year. The amazing part is even MLB has an escalating tax for repeated yearly fines, the Dodgers just keep paying it. As a fan, you love to see owners who are willing to fork over some cash to win.

But all this won't stop people saying how these owners don't care about results only profit which couldn't be further from the truth.
