I really did not think the post-Abramovic era would be the one where Chelsea breaks spending records.

I'm still refusing to believe so I'll just assume they found some cash in a box somewhere

KSE has said I believe they were not willing to really spend heavily until they were full ownership. From their other sports teams like the handegg rams they strike while the iron is hot. Can't see the league being this open for the next little while so gently caress it splash the cash.

We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

They've spent nearly £600m this season which is £75m a season for the next 8 years and it's not like they're going to make a profit on many of these buys.

I think this is going to be a legendarily bad transfer period for Chelsea. They have spent an absolutely mind bogglingly large amount of cash on some exciting but unproven players, and anything other than total PL and CL dominance for the next few years is going to be considered a failure. There's also absolutely no way that Potter is going to lead them to the promised land, so in the next season or two they'll have to pay him off and get someone new in, who will presumably also want a bunch of new players.

It'll be fun to watch at least :downs:

Oh come the gently caress on. Pep has two squads of starters and can't "totally dominate the PL", let alone win the CL.

When I say total dominance, I mean there or thereabouts in both competitions. At least a couple of titles though.

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.

Looks like a great set of transfers, nicely rounded squad. Might want to look into a first-choice keeper at some point, and some backup for the full-backs

e: just checking my notes again and it appears that there were already players at the club before the summer. Can someone confirm?
