They got it done!

600 million in six months.

The rest of Europe are going to pull away from UEFA and FIFA over this If there's no repercussions for this obscene amount of spending

I don’t get the outrage over Chelsea spending.
It’s within the (current) rules and they can afford it so what is the problem?

edit - not like city’s inflated revenue and under the table payments . It’s money they have and are permitted to spend

I don't understand FFP.
Can someone explain to me how they get on with this kind of spending? I mean FFP and all.
It's spread out over numerous years, they have zero debt so everything they earn can be spent on transfers.

The long contract lengths (7/8 years) mean they're paying half they usually would over a 4/5 year contract.

We have no idea who can afford what.
Everybody thought Barca could afford it and look how that ended

Jealousy really. The same ones complaining will be celebrating if we get oil money.

They’ll have incredibly quiet windows going forward unless they have significant sales over the next 3 years. A lot of their FFP finances will be spoken for for their set contracts done throughout the last two windows

I wonder how many of their new signings had even heard of Graham Potter.

Benfica have done very well out of Liverpool and Chelsea. Insane fees.

:lol: Got to love it though. Potter is wetting the bad right now. He literally cannot lose two on the bounce.
