Really?@Bluelion7Probably boehly must be a cafe member and you are all trolled him for being foolish now he wanted to prove you all are wrong and he is right.
Down to De Jong (no balls) & Bellingham (scouse lover) then by the looks of it
Are you talking about Enzo in particular? Because I haven’t been on this forum for months until a couple of days ago. I’m not seeing Chelsea fans losing their minds in here.
Nothing we can do about what is being spent so there’s really feck all for us to do except watch the team play every weekend, but it was more about your point about people struggling to pay their bills or afford a hot meal as if that has anything to do with Chelsea and what football clubs spend on players. That was just you using a really serious issue in society as a tool to score points online, which is a bit crass?
I don’t think there’s a single WSL team has undersoil heating despite most of them being super rich PL clubs, so it is indeed horrible that those Chelsea and Liverpool players were made to play on those conditions for 7 minutes but it’s hardly an issue unique to Chelsea and it’s more of a league wide problem?
I think they are throwing all the money to make it to Top-4. I am guessing by mid feb this team will start funcitioning and they will have a good run till the end of the season.
I mean no one said ‘losing their minds’, whatever that means, but yeah. I’ll let you catch up yourself.
I mean really? You don’t see the connection and how it looks? Not only that but the bragging about having ‘loadza’ money and what not when people can’t afford the basics.
It’s not point scoring it’s just a reality.
If you don’t see any issue with any of it then fair enough!
Chelsea will throw so much money at him right now, he wont say no to this, considering what he earned so far in his career on relatively low wages.
Probably. He detailed things like he is an insider.
Yeah our shot at getting him went last year
I mean if you want to stand by what you’re saying you’re welcome to it but I think it’s pretty obvious what you were doing. Lots of others have managed to call out Chelsea’s crazy spending without using a really serious societal issue as a some kind of gotcha on a football forum. It’s okay admit you got it wrong and we can go on bickering about Chelsea stuff as usual
You didn’t answer my question I see? Should I assume you are fine with it or you do see issue with it?I mean if you want stand by what you’re saying you’re welcome to it but I think it’s pretty obvious what you’re doing.

Ultimately Chelsea are mirroring the Conservatives and the fans are lapping it up.
Billionaires throwing money around, looking at ways to get around rules and benefit from it whilst everyone else is just trying to survive. It’s just sad that many of you think that’s okay and not only that are quite happy to brag about it here and elsewhere.
CL is a massive draw for many players. Inter Milan are as big as any english club and atletico arent exactly a small club either.
How are EPL games more high profile than italian or spainish games? Myopic post in my humble opinion.
With respect, I don't think either Atletico or Inter are currently more attractive than the English giants.
Not that I enjoy sticking up for Chelsea but it's a strange comparison. So when is the cut off point where you should stop buying players because of how it's perceived in a cost of living crisis? Was spending £210M ok in the summer?
Do I have a problem with what? Chelsea spending money like it’s going out of fashion or Chelsea spending millions when people are struggling to afford hot meals?
If it was up to me measures would be put in place to control spending and the game would be a level playing field, which is a pipe dream but hey, I don’t run football and have no say in how it’s run.
So you don’t want to retract your earlier point? I take it to mean you stand by it and think it’s okay. Interesting

Only way I can see this getting done is if we pay over the odds + loan him back to Benfica for the rest of the season. Doesn't make much sense from Enzo's perspective but he does really seem to want to come here.
Also another issue with signing him now would be that we'd only be allowed to register 3 of our new signings for the CL. At the moment that would most likely be Badiashile, Felix, Mudryk? So a bit of a dilemma if he does join now with a few missing out.
Anyway, think you all should take the news with a pinch of salt unless Ornstein is saying it.

He knows.
I think there was a myth that it’s a massive draw but that was before leagues levelled up and huge teams didn’t make it or simply aren’t a competitive factor in it.
Chelsea v United, City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Spurs are all bigger than 99 percent of comparable fixtures elsewhere.
If there weren’t then the EPL tv deal wouldn’t be leagues above everyone else. If the CL was so engrossing they wouldn’t be changing the format in two seasons
People act like being out of the CL for 1 year is the end of the world. It would take a sustained period of being out year after year for it to start seriously effecting a big club.
Clubs like Chelsea, United, Liverpool, and City will have ZERO trouble attracting top players if they fail to qualify every once in a while. It would take a period like Arsenal have had recently where they were without CL footy for 5 years straight or whatever it was for it to be a problem.

Chelsea will be the first club to spend 1B on players. Its mental never seen any club spending like this
I mean, I do find it a bit crass, but then I'm like that with football fees in general. I mean, Caicedo for £75M+ perhaps? Bournemouth getting an offer accepted for Zaniolo when AC Milan can't. English football in general is just feckin bonkers.
I don't get what the rush is for them, everyone knows buying so many players too quickly rarely works out. Was he given a time limit for how quickly the ridiculous £1.5 billion pledge has to spent?
Both? Or can you at least see how it looks?
There’s too much money in football, we all know that, but Chelsea have gone beyond that now in what they are doing. Not only that it only makes the issue worse.
Is what Chelsea are doing just ‘football in general’ though or is it something else?
It only serves to make the issues within the game bigger and further inflate the market.
I suspect the financial gurus predicting they won’t be able to spend money as recklessly in the summer and beyond is accurate.
That’s why they are getting who they can now and skipping targets that become unobtainable immediately like Gvardiol etc.
So Roman chalked off 2 billion and the takeover has had to put in 1.5 billion. That is 3.5 billion inserted into Chelsea out of nothing. How lucky can you get?
The rush for some of the players surely comes down to not wanting to wait until there’s serious competition for our primary targets. If we waited until summer for Gusto there would’ve been loads of other big clubs after him. If we wait until summer for Enzo there will be a handful of clubs after him, including PL rivals most likely.
Same thing with Nkunku who we really wanted to get done ahead of the summer.
It won't end well, and Chelsea fans will do well to remember Boehly will want all this money back one way or another one day.
Oh, don't get me wrong, I don't think it's right what they are doing, they really are taking it to another level, and are taking advantage of the fact Abramovich debt was wiped out and the new ownership has the benefit of the start of a 3 year cycle in terms of FFP. I'll be honest, I'd prefer some sort of spending cap or something like that, because it's all just getting out of hand.
I just think comparing football spending to real life cost of living crisis doesn't work because football, and English football in general is just horrible as feck in terms of spending in general.
But you're just going for players who are obtainable now, which doesn't mean they are the right players long term.
Why not wait and just outbid other clubs for players like Bellingham, Rice, or Osimhen, in the summer? I'm not saying these are the right players either, it just seems you're saying, right they look like a good player let's get them, rather than giving the players you've already got some time under Potter, and then letting him decide what is needed, and then who he wants, there is no way he wants all this to happen so quickly, he'll be under massive pressure to make it work very quickly, which is a big ask.

It’s guys like this on Twitter that infuriate. He genuinely believes it’s Chelsea’s pulling power.
Of course our hands are practically tied until the summer when the new rules kick in.
Why do you take them seriously?
It’s nearly impossible to think all the players you need to crawl back to the top table are available in 7 months.
We are sitting here reading these posts as if you aren’t 10th but it’s these other signings that’s coming in who will make the difference. We’ll just forget the likes of Koulbaly, Sterling etc.
Your new owners lost all your scouting team from the old regime did they not? How are they accessing these players so quickly never mind the sheer amount of them?
Depends on your outlook if your italian or spainish you may have a different viewpoint. Just saying.
I find delusion incredibly annoying.
