As we know players values get depreciated as a matter of course, well those that where a fee is paid the eye watering numbers are those that you buy for say £50 million and they leave for nothing after say 150 games on a free .
What’s really interest Is pre PSR/FFP we probably wouldn’t be...
Loaning Broja has turned out quite lucrative for us (Chelsea)
He went to Southampton and as a youngster the fee for the season long loan was said to be £1 million then he went for half a season to Fulham who had to pay £4 million for not playing him.
Whilst I would imagine that the £10 million...
Round in circles we go.
Of course Chelsea have paid top prices but can’t that accusation be applied to just about every club ?
As things stand since the new owners shipped up their nett spend is circa £600 million . Of course some of their fees make you gulp but you are way off when you...
Are Chelsea planning to sell Caicedo? As for Fernandez again not so sure he is for sale although just in the last few days it’s being reported he is on Reals radar.
The owners mistake was spending big on established players over the age of 25 who buy and large failed to deliver. Players like...
Think you are completely miss reading the situation. They care deeply about money and will be looking at the overall picture in terms of turning a profit.
Part of the purchase agreement was that they had to invest in the playing side. Losing Rudiger and Christiansen for free will have stung them...
He is indeed.
In this link is a goal he scored last season against WHU. One which I thought sought would see his career kick on but alas he suffered an injury

KDH isn’t close to being anything else other than a bog standard PL at best CC is up a notch in every aspect.
The problem as I see it is that if KDH is a £20+ million player then CC is probably a £30-£40 million player.
Before anyone starts to talk about not being worth it he isn’t but the...
Oh he is a player. Strong fast and good engine.
Started a game or two but his appearances have been mainly as a sub
His issue is said to be attitude but more I suspect from frustration about not being a regular starter
The talk at SB on Monday was that both were likely one on loan and one purchased outright.
KDH is at best a mid table midfielder he looked decent in the championship but be it him lacking in confidence or just lacking the speed of thought he simply doesn’t appear to move the ball with the speed...
I suspect that we had a plan a) which was the initial deal on the table at Ipswich but once they, Ipswich, complicated matters and wanted to change the terms of the deal we went into plan b) which I don’t think was Everton but a return to Southampton but they managed to get Newcastle to cancel...
He needs to be loved. He is deceptively quick and if he gets a run of games he will do well
He isn’t a top 4 forward but at set pieces he has been well coached and will cause both a goal threat and cause a bit of confusion for say the CDs
Ipswich agreed a deal which would have gone through had...
Sorry but there is massive blinkers in this comment. You could ask what any player signs for a club. Scouting is often based just on opinion it’s not till the move you can assess the players focus, their true skill set etc. Every transfer is a gamble
That number is more than I have seen reported anywhere and even then the range seems to be from £70k a week to £100k a week.
That £30million will be the total cost if he does indeed sign permanently at season end that will include the loan fee which is circa £5 million.
Out of interest what...
