Transfer Discussion Thread

Seems like we are close to signing Kostas Mavropanos from Stuttgart. That'll be it for Maguire then.

Offers in for Kudus and Maatsen today also.

Only if Neal Maupay scores a goal.

Manchester United fluffed the sale like George W. Bush fluffs his lines - “There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."

sounds like you got this creepy guy too.

I heard Ange is interested in him apparently.

But yeah reading some of his history, no thank you.

Think Santiago Gimenez from Feyenord will be the one if we sign a striker, Edson Alvarez has recommended him.

You know Moyes will be just devastated today though.

Im not denying we've spent a shitload of money, but we'll also make more than any through sales too.

You've spent double anyone else in world football in the last 3 years. Now over almost £1b in 3 years alone.

You haven't earnt double the next best in world football in that same period.

In fact you are only about £50m ahead of Brighton in terms of transfer revenue in that period.

You have the highest deficit in the world in that period and it's only growing with some players seemingly over the line not added to that figure.


Think it's more than fair other clubs are asking formal questions of UEFA about you.

What's UEFA got to do with it? Chelsea aren't in Europe.

A club that spends over 500m net in one calendar year isn't aiming to be in Europe? Of course they need to abide by UEFA rules. If they aren't in Europe they will find it very difficult to meet Premier League FFP P&L requirements.

They aren't bound by UEFA's rules as they aren't currently playing in Europe.

Regardless.

UEFA Rules will = PL rules next season.

 

[Zidane98]

I didn't say other clubs couldnt ask any questions. I dont think anyone really knows whats going in so thats fair enough.

Regardless of what is going on your club accounts are public. Premier League P&L rules are clear (105m max loss over 3 years). Your losses from the last two years are known (20/21 loss of 153m, 21/22 loss of 121m). Your results are not public yet for 22/23 but is expected to be a pretty big loss.

I expect there will be allowances for COVID losses in the 20/21 season - what that allowance is I have not been able to ascertain yet. But the problem will be when 20/21 falls outside the 3 year period for you.

In which case they'd be getting pressure from the PL.

A quick reckon up - if you buy Lavia there's about a €140m transfer deficit this season. Olise would make that about €180m.

Out
Kalidou Koulibaly € 23m
Mateo Kovacic € 29m
Mason Mount € 64m
Kai Havertz € 75m
Christian Pulisic € 20m
Edouard Mendy € 18m
Ruben Loftus-Cheek € 16m
Ethan Ampadu € 8m
€ 253,000,000

In
Moisés Caicedo € 116m
Christopher Nkunku € 60m
Axel Disasi € 45m
Nicolas Jackson € 37m
Lesley Ugochukwu € 27m
Robert Sánchez € 23m
Ângelo € 15m
Lavia € 70m
€ 393,000,000

This is on top of the €551m spent last season on Enzo Fernández, Wesley Fofana, Mykhaylo Mudryk, Marc Cucurella, Raheem Sterling, Benoît Badiashile, Kalidou Koulibaly, Noni Madueke, Malo Gusto, Carney Chukwuemeka.

 

[Zidane98]

Quite an effort to sell 253m worth of players and still have a net spend of 140m!

Can we try and keep the FFP chat to the appropriate thread from now on.

Something for the foilers to get excited about.

Is he going to RC Strasbourg on loan?

I just wish Todd would spunk some more of his money on RC Strasbourg signings. Let us have Lukaku on loan - we can cover 10% of his wages for the season.

Yep.
