NurembergVillan Posted May 23, 2014 Moderator Share Posted May 23, 2014 This is more than Lambert has spent in his entire reign. Just saying. More than most managers spend in two seasons though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtsimonw Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 So Mourinho will have made nearly £100m off 2 players (Mata, Luiz) that weren't really in his first team plans. Brilliant.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted May 24, 2014 Moderator Share Posted May 24, 2014 So this chap is worth 1/4 of the value of Villa. Puts things in perspective. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 So Mourinho will have made nearly £100m off 2 players (Mata, Luiz) that weren't really in his first team plans. Brilliant.. Great way for "elite" clubs to get around FFP - by trading players above their inflated value - (Chelsea to PSG, then perhaps a player from PSG to Madrid, Madrid to Man City, Man City to Barcelona, then Barcelona to Chelsea and so on) and then using the extra money to buy "ambitious" players from smaller clubs - and then, of course, keeping the smaller dogs down. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David-Copenhagen Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 So Mourinho will have made nearly £100m off 2 players (Mata, Luiz) that weren't really in his first team plans. Brilliant.. Or stupid selling Mata. Could he have made a difference against Norwich and Sunderland - then Chelsea would have won PL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't really work because it's a zero sum game. Every time a team sells for an inflated fee another club is blowing out their FFP budget by buying for an inflated fee. The net result after that merry-go-round is everyone is back to where they started. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The net result after that merry-go-round is everyone is back to where they started. FFP is based much around turnover. In that case it most defientely matters. Higher turnover means you can spend more on wages. Unless I'm missing something about turover rules in FFP Edited May 25, 2014 by Tegis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted May 26, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) He's an utter liability, Chelsea must be laughing.he's really not though is he? He's a very very good player. Prone to the odd mistake. But to be fair when he's got the best CB in the world playing next to him at PSG they can probably afford that (if they even play him at CB) don't get me wrong. He's not worth 50m Euros or pounds or whatever. But his ability seems to be greatly underestimated just because he's made a couple of mistakes.

Dr_Pangloss Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) He's very prone to errors and he;s not that good defensively, although in the shite French league he'll get by, it'll just be in the champions league where he will get exposed. Chelsea will definitely be laughing their way to the bank. He's excellent on the ball, I'll give him that, but he's not excellent defensively and there's always a big mistake in him.
