We should leave Havertz for the last possible moment. Nobody else is in for him and they need to raise funds. We can possibly get a good deal on this if we wait.

I'd actually say that's hilarious or borderline karmic, rather than unfortunate

My reaction for Chelsea

🥺

It's about the same reaction I'll have when Man City get stripped of titles for their creative accounting....

Havertz has not given the performances to justify the outrageous amount they want.

Do they also need to sell before they buy? If that's the case, it's even better.

The barrage of "here's how Chelsea can raise 200M pounds with this one cool trick" articles seem to indicate that they do. At the very least, we know they need to sell before the 30th of this month for it to count for FFP purposes, which they're almost definitely up against.

If we get an attractive offer in front of Brighton for Caicedo soon and Chelsea still haven't sold anyone, they literally might not be able to counterbid. It seems too good to be true, but dreams can't be buy...

Technically, no.....BUT!

  • Chelsea have a net spend of £-480.57m
  • Finished in the bottom half of the league.
  • Have a bloated squad (30+ players last I checked) on inflated wages, with some contracts being 7 years long.

Chelsea will have a massive loss on the books this year and FPP only allows a loss of like 60m/year over 3 years (might be raised to 100m). Chelsea will need to get their finances in order much sooner than later, and that will only be made more difficult if they can't produce results on the pitch next year.

They have a lot of problems, both on and off the pitch and throwing money at them isn't a solution. It only makes the problems worse, but they still haven't learned that apparently.
