There is clearly some talent in those acquisitions but also some reckless indecision and cost analysis. Possibly they might be believing the market will have a massive spike in the not so distant future and caste these deals in a different light. But to me it seems far more like Boehly not really understanding the football model. I guess theres questions on FFP but the immediate expense wouldn't be the tell. In the next couple of years I think Chelsea could hit hard times by operating there business like they have this window. Especially if they by chance miss top four and massively cut their expected revenue. This is bad new owner syndrome IMO (something we are far too familiar with).

I just look at City compared to Chelsea and Man U and the gap is so seismic in their operation, talent and how such an approach seems to have benefit future seasons. However many qualms one can have on City they are unbelievably astute and considered in their business regardless of their resources. There signings are almost 90% values or fair value compared to the talent and that effects future recruitment. This window is case and point.

They can spend what they've spent and shrug it off this window, because they have so much bad spending in past windows coming off in the near future.

They can't keep spending like this every window, because if they do they become United, groaning under the weight of high wages and heavy amortization costs sunk into players that don't deliver...only with less revenue for digging themselves out of the hole.
