3 permanent transfers between Chelsea & Strasbourg, 3 loan deals also, so just the 6 moves.
What a transfer window for the lads. Done everything we possibly can to stay up imo. Filled the gaps we have, and on paper seemingly signed really good players.
Didn't see in your post that he got transferred 'back' to Chelsea for an 'undisclosed fee'
Wot! Nah. Salt ov ve erf Old Texty.3 permanent transfers between Chelsea & Strasbourg, 3 loan deals also, so just the 6 moves.
That's not counting there 2 signings from BlueCo cucks Brighton
I'm enjoying the Maranakis/Textor exchanges also
Textor has spent 31m on Maranakis owned players this summer (2)
Maranakis has spent 45m on Textor owned players this summer (4)
Last summer Textor has spent 54m on Maranakis owned players (2)
Last summer Maranakis has spent 9m on Textor owned players this summer (1)
9 players moved about totaling in 139m in transfer fee's (Textor has spent £31m net)
Finance mules?This works by clubs paying an agreed salary to players and then adding an extra payment, which the players are instructed to transfer to shell companies based overseas.
Toffees dodged a very very big bullet with the big TexanWot! Nah. Salt ov ve erf Old Texty.

The hidden webs of multi-club ownership leave football exposed to crime
The rise of multi-club ownership has led to increasingly complex corporate structures that obscure who really controls football clubs.www.playthegame.org
quote:
One area attracting interest from law enforcement is the potential for exploitation of player transfers between two clubs in the same MCO when the fee is ultimately decided by the same controlling entity. For money launderers, any transaction that offers the opportunity for under- and over-valuation, such as a transfer fee, is attractive.
Mamadou Sarr, for example, was transferred from Strasbourg in France to English Premier League side Chelsea for a reported 15 million euros. Both clubs are owned by US group BlueCo, and Sarr was immediately loaned back to the Ligue 1 club. There is no suggestion this particular transfer broke any laws, but this type of arrangement is not uncommon among clubs within the same MCO group and open to exploitation.
Where players are part of an MCO group made up of multiple investors and numerous clubs, this can create a hydra of opportunities to move money about.
“Players become tokens,” one law enforcement official told Play the Game. “The opportunity to launder money through football clubs is phenomenal.”
Players' bank accounts can also be used for money laundering through over-payment. This works by clubs paying an agreed salary to players and then adding an extra payment, which the players are instructed to transfer to shell companies based overseas.
Ban MCO transfers completely, see how many clubs owners start selling the clubs.Yeh Chelsea > Strasbourg > Chelsea U21's > Swansea (loan)
Get full value on the sale on Chelsea's books, then signing him back will be the fee split over the contract on the academy books, PSR goodies.
@Tommy Chong (forgot to quote you)I think you can get at their backline with the right tactics, Frimpong is not a proper RB, Konate is out of sync, and Kerkez hasn't settled properly yet.
