Definitely risky, it could be an absolute disaster if it doesn't work out or it could be a stroke of genius. Smacks of Leeds. While I can't see Chelsea getting relegated and ruined like Leeds did they are still setting themselves up for a massive fall.

Chelssa are 10th and if these signings are flops they are stuck with rubbish players on high wages that they cant flog. Then because they have used up their transfer fees for next 8 years they wont have much room to play with. I personally if i was a opposition club would offer them ridiculously low offers for the players they want to sell because they will be desperate for the cash. For example if they wanted 50m for pulisic id go in at 30m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could go either way, but because Chelsea have so high revenues they can afford 3-5 of these players not working out and they can still buy more players in 12 months time.

High revenues because they qualify cl each season. What happens if they dont? Their revenues plummet and then there is no way they get away spending what they have been Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats about £100 mill of extra revenue . Spent it all on Lukaku who doesnt even play for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewieGriffin Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 I don't get this loophole they've "found" - it's not like they've found some small print, it's just clever (if not risky) accounting - something the Sky 6 (or is it 7 now?) would all be capable of doing. So they've essentially gambled their mortgage on making the Champions League every year, despite being miles off halfway through the season... ... which means they are either absolutely **** insane kamikaze fools, they've found a more intricate loophole that the other top teams haven't, or (and this is my bet...) they know somethings brewing with a Super League and they wont be governed by FFP in 3 years time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted January 30, 2023 Moderator Share Posted January 30, 2023 You'd have to be expecting a clear out in the summer - they can't register this many players. I'd think we'll see six or seven out before the start of next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKP90 Posted January 30, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 30, 2023 I think the fa will have to step in if they have 7 unregistered players of that profile. How does it affect work permits? Could some of their players get deported (I don't know the intricacies of the rules)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it comes off, they will have a squad full of the best young players in world football on contracts that don't expire for years, growing up together and conquering the football world. If it doesn't, they're going to be stuck with a bunch of guys on massive wages that have no incentive to move on having priced themselves out of most transfers. It's most likely going to end in failure, but it'll be fun to watch them try. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
