It's also funny that they signed potter and his scouting team because of their eye for a bargain and then did the opposite of that

I'm gonna be laughed at for this but actually our first team squad is looking comparatively sparse these days, we have 19 senior outfield players, which includes Cole Palmer with 13 and Rico Lewis with 8 league appearances to their names. The only proper fullbacks we have now are Walker, Rico Lewis and Sergio Gomez

I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall in whatever executive meeting Chelsea had where they approved spending three quarters of a billion pounds on “idk whoever” and “maybe players other teams are trying to buy.”

vyelkin posted:looking at how much money they've lost on some of the players they sold this season is also eye-opening. Rudiger signed for €35m and left on a free. Batshuayi signed for €39m and left for 3.5. Jorginho signed for €57m and left for 12. Timo Werner signed for €53m and left for 20. I have to assume there’s some kind of tax avoidance strategy behind this for Boehly. Show a big loss this year and then have a bunch of massive overpriced assets you can depreciate over the next 10 years.

to be fair, they got 100+ games out of Rudiger and Jorginho and moved them on when they were old the rest is the perils of signing Bundesliga players and man who shoots the ball into he own face

Wondering why the club wasn’t 100% focused on the Rudiger renewal at the time.

Christ, it's not often I go to bat for the US franchise ownership model and even less often I stand up for the loving salary cap, but if nothing else it ensures that even the dumbest of asses can't gently caress their team even close to as hard as Moshiri has. maruhkati fucked around with this message at 07:23 on Feb 2, 2023 |

It's devastating for people who have stuck by them and the staff who might have hoped there was an actual plan. Now they've been picked over in the transfer window they don't have a hope.

Chelsea apparently spent more in the January transfer window than Ligue 1, La Liga, the Bundesliga, and Serie A combined.

Now they've been picked over in the transfer window they don't have a hope. It's looking very possible that they might be in Leeds-type trouble that lasts a decade or more. Things are beyond bleak for them, even if Dyche somehow pulls off a miracle this year.

Still don't know if this is the thread for it, but ESPN Brazil has reported that Ancelotti has agreed to be the next Brazil manager, though both him and Brazil deny in the sort of weasely statements of "nothing official yet."

Ancelotti does seem especially well suited to being an international manager tbh. And managing Brazil will be a nice cap to his career. I hope it goes well for him, but also generally wish Neymar the worst at the same time.

Mason Mount has agreed personal terms with Manchester United, but as far as I'm aware there's no actual agreement between United and Chelsea. He's in the last year of his deal and the rumor is £60m which seems like a lot for Mason Mount but English tax, etc.
