Very nice of them to be this shit and make our shit season a bit cheerful. Let's hope they find a way to get relegated.
Over 1b on 18 months is worse than over 1b in a decade.Ara you missing the irony or am I missing your sarcasm?
We've spent over 1.5 billion since SAF (almost 400m of that for EtH alone) and been terrible ourselves.
At least Chelsea will be paying less in wages and have a significant resale value.
£1.5bn in 11 years compared to 1 year? Great comparison.Ara you missing the irony or am I missing your sarcasm?

Needs to happen before the cup final on 25th Feb.Jose into 3/1 for next Chelsea manager !
Bring it on…. the Prem is always more interesting with that fecker stiring up shit
Would he really chose Chelsea over Arsenal or Liverpool?Well we're most likely buying Osimhen for an obscene amount, so I would guess it would leave us exactly where we are now, needing to offload more players in 2025.
They'll just loan Mudryk to a Serie A team for a year or two if he dosen't show anything in next 12 months. Then eventually sell.I was listening to the Ben Foster podcast at the weekend and he was talking about how giving all these players such long contracts is so stupid because it means that some of these players will essentially just mentally check out now as they know that they're secure for the next seven to eight years.
Even though they aren't on particularly high wages they will really struggle to get rid of some of the players that don't make it.
Let's take Mudryk for example. He's on 100k a week until 2031. Who is going to offer him anywhere close to that sort of money?
There isn't a single Chelsea player that would get in to the Bayern starting eleven!The thing is that with all the money they have spent, there’s barely a player in their team I’d want at Bayern. And I’m fairly certain fans of other top clubs would agree. That’s what makes this all so funny.
Yuh when you break it down like that honestly it’s just so fecking hilariously bad.Well said and hilarious when you think about it. The idea that spending £100m+ on players at 21 or 22 and they're going to turn into £150m players is laughable. There just isn't the market for that first of all, unless they go to select few other clubs like Chelsea. Secondly, spending £100 million on them is their peak value. If they're big hits, you're probably not going to sell them until they're 28 or 29, at which point they no longer have the same resale value. If they're perfectly average, then you probably get £50-60m max. If they're shite, then you get either nothing or miniscule return on your investment.
Not disagreeing, but there’s still a lot of Chelsea fans who would want Jose back.Mourinho never going to work with private equity owners or young players.
Will be surprised if we see round 3 of the now bitter and deluded one.
No point in changing Poch when the owners are the problem.
For a 10 year contract, yeah.Would he really chose Chelsea over Arsenal or Liverpool?
Nobody will pay Mudryk his wages at Chelsea and he’ll go nowhere because of it. We’ve seen this at United and we’ll see it here.They'll just loan Mudryk to a Serie A team for a year or two if he dosen't show anything in next 12 months. Then eventually sell.
Their big problem is the game changing signings haven't shown anything so far. Caciedo has been a complete shadow of what he was showing at Brighton. Enzo Fernandez is a nice player to watch in possession but compare him to Odegaard and I just don't think he can produce to that level, before long Barca or Real Madrid will probably want him and he'll want out.
They also need to get shot of Sterling. Decent start to the season but coming up to 30 and past his peak. Also misses too many clear chances, look at that miss at 1-2 down yesterday. He scores that and Chelsea probably win the match.
Nkunku is a good player and riddled by injuries.
Guess a plan is signing an Oshimen type CF and then having Nkunku and Palmer either side and that should be decent.
Still got to sort the backline out as it's just too rash as we saw yesterday with Cunha and Neto strolling around and beating them all for pace.
Mou has a bit of a false reputation regarding younger players, when he finds players who buy into his style he loves them. He just wants to win stuff so if you offer him a transfer, he will take a senior player every time.Mourinho never going to work with private equity owners or young players.
Will be surprised if we see round 3 of the now bitter and deluded one.

Sterling is on 325k a week until 2027. He isn't going anywhere!They also need to get shot of Sterling. Decent start to the season but coming up to 30 and past his peak. Also misses too many clear chances, look at that miss at 1-2 down yesterday. He scores that and Chelsea probably win the match.
No irony. We have been terribly run on a sporting level since 2005. Throwing good money after bad for well over a decade as you said. But the general rule is that the more money you spend, the better the performance of the team. We are an outlier. It just shocks me that anyone could have matched our long-term incompetence within a year or two, and take a team that just won the CL to utter mediocrity.Ara you missing the irony or am I missing your sarcasm?

What!?Sterling is on 325k a week until 2027. He isn't going anywhere!
Over the top Mourinho celebration when he wins it with ChelseaNeeds to happen before the cup final on 25th Feb.
You've got some of those figures massively over egged. Mudryk for example cost 62 mil, not 100.£1.5bn in 11 years compared to 1 year? Great comparison.
Significant resale value?
Sanchez = 30m
Ugochukwu = 27m
JAckson = 37m
Disasi = 45m
Lavia = 62m
Caceido = 116m
Enzo = 121m
Murdryk = 100m
Cucurella = 65m
Fofana = 80m
I dont see how any of these players will have "Significant" re-sale value.
They should hire him the week before the final so that it would be the complete opposite of what happened to him at Spurs!Needs to happen before the cup final on 25th Feb.
Depends what the target is. If it's just floating around 6th or 7th then he can obviously get them into that area but beyond that I don't think so.I reckon Mourinho could do well with this Chelsea team. Relatively young, don't think there are necessarily any big egos in there.
Signing him on a 5 year deal wow, was what 28 at that point?Sterling is on 325k a week until 2027. He isn't going anywhere!
That’s because you’re judging them based on their time at Chelsea. Some of them would have been nice signings for Bayern without the awful stench of Chelsea on them cloaking their real quality.The thing is that with all the money they have spent, there’s barely a player in their team I’d want at Bayern. And I’m fairly certain fans of other top clubs would agree. That’s what makes this all so funny.
27.Signing him on a 5 year deal wow, was what 28 at that point?
Perfectly reasonable to sign a 27 year old on a 5 year deal. Even 28, should be quite normal.

But you bought nobodies? Not just nobodies but nobodies for 3x their worth. If they didn’t play for Chelsea then nobody would know who they are. All we judge these players by is their price tag, they have zero body of work behind themThat’s because you’re judging them based on their time at Chelsea.
