Tommo_b Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) What I think could be interesting is all these young players on 6/7 year contracts and what happens if they fail to get champions league for the next two seasons. Could Chelsea fall foul of ffp and implode? Edited January 11, 2023 by Tommo_b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd diddle the champs league qualification criteria or someone if one of the boys club looked in serious trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Watched a little of Potter's press conference earlier, looks like a dead-man walking....suggestions from some quarters that he just isn't the right fit for that club. Unless Felix bails him out, he'll be gone soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Problem is Potter is trying to be too smart, slagging off the fans like he is at every chance, instead of taking some responsibility he'll be out quicker than he thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 The Felix loan really doesn't make much sense to me. Are they essentially trying before they buy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really random takes the place of one of their own players and then goes back. Loan players are for championship teams or to fill gaps in prem squads to me unless you are looking to buy at the end of the loan. 6 months for what to get a Europa League spot?? Potter might be out his depth but I see it more as interference from above. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they can (all La Liga players have release clauses I think) but he'll cost even more than he would cost now. That's what I mean about it being a weird signing.

Hank Scorpio Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Chelsea just buy every player they possibly can and see what sticks. And of course ffp is irrelevant to them. Potter probably doesn't want half the players he has to pick from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
