He's still a grade A cunt. Ask Leroy Sane.
A bit rich coming from someone with a huge soft spot for all things Manchester United?
Ok, to be fair, I'm not too bothered about any of his shenanigans off the pitch (that I haven't heard of btw). But he was magnificent on the pitch, both in his individual brilliance and team play.
Well that makes zero sense. Bravo.
To you maybe. But then again it's you so I didn't expect too much anyway.
Yawn.
We will see. I am not so sure they will, unless they give up on Caicedo.
Pretty terrible outcome.
There's no way Chelsea sign both with FFP issues. From all accounts they've been trying their best to make the maths work for the Caicedo deal alone.
If they sign Lavia it is because they can't find enough change down the back of the sofa.

That hasn't ever been a factor in their purchases.
I think he means for the player, not the club.
Most players back themselves though.
He can back himself in Rome in a year, when he's sold, and then maybe he could choose Chelsea a second time when the idiots repurchase him.
If Chelsea could afford one, either or both they’d have sorted it by now. Lavia is obviously the easier to get done but the player would be mad to move there before Caicedo was sorted and going to us.
This just smacks of Chelsea wasting everyone’s time.
If they really do go through with one or both, who have they got left to sell to balance the books?

Course they will. It won't be a point deduction, it'll be renegotiated to a fine and ultimately pointless
Acknowledging the fact that I am biased it does seem like Chelsea are dicking around.
Made their highest offer for Caicedo and then threw a hissy fit when it was beaten.
Agreed a deal for Tyler Adams then pulled the plug after the medical when it was clear that the purchase would probably prevent them from bidding the required fee for Caicedo.
Agreed a fee with Southampton above what they were looking for without ever making any contact with Lavia himself.
Lots of teams playing games I suppose, Liverpool Brighton Southampton but Chelsea seems to be the biggest mischief makers in all this

Lukaku, Ziyech and Hudson-wotsit are potential sales. Might balance the short term but, yeah, not £300M
Pointless could be even better than a points reduction, especially if it happens around April
Read the link above which lists all those possible and how they would affect FFP - if they make a loss on the sale it's a negative as far as FFP is concerned. The sale itself isn't that relevant it's how much they go for (and the salary saving). Ziyech & Lukaku for example would negatively affect them because they wouldn't get anything like they paid for them. Hudson-Odoi and Chalabah are likely the only two positive sales as far as FFP is concerned.
I'm paraphrasing the link as I have no idea !
Soz Froggy - went back a few pages but don’t see it. Can you repost?
This is a copy/paste from that link :
A relatively simple explanation because many have asked: Chelsea need something like £450m profit (could even be more) from 22/23 and 23/24 player trading to balance the allowable trading loss over the last 3 years (conservatively). I reckon they did around £100m player trading profit in 22/23 with around another £75m so far from Mount, Pulisic, PEA, Livermento sell on profit and Ampadu. Amortisation rises when you buy and does not fall if you sell a youth player for a pure profit. So Caciedo, Lavia and Olise will add not only, say, £35m of amortisation in 23/24 but also, say, £25m of wages. That’s more than the likely trading profit of selling Gallagher and Hudson Odoi although assume maybe £12.5m wage saving. But they needed that for the existing deficit before Caciedo etc. This leaves Chalabah and Broja as profit opportunities. Most of the rest are at best neutral in terms of profits - Ziyech could lose quite a lot, Kepa neutral, Cucurella has a book value so high he can’t be sold for profit, Sterling the same. So they are many £10s of millions short of break even under PL P&S in 23/24 even if they managed to just about comply in 22/23 (which I’m skeptical about too).
