Good business but it's a selfish way of making money imo as these players who are bought in will never be good enough to play for Chelsea, but they lose years off their careers being loaned out to vastly inferior teams/rot away in the Chelsea reserves
I actually wonder what is said in negotiations to entice them to throw 1/2/3 years of their careers away? Or they are just money hungry mercenaries?
How are they losing years of their careers if they are still playing at the decent levels at decent clubs?
I can't think of one player who we've destroyed. Papy was a last minute buy when all our Stone efforts failed, but Mou didn't want to play him so was loaned out and had a pretty good season Werder in the end.
It's not like we buy them and then they don't play anymore and none end up rotting in our reserves(it's full our our academy players who have been at the club for years). I not a huge fan of our loan army setup but it's not detrimental to their careers and if they are good enough they'll end up playing for Chelsea. More often than not they are sold for profit and can continue on their careers. The players are the ones making the decision to join Chelsea, we don't force them to do it.
