Summer transfer window 2023

[Tony’s Carp]

We need another midfielder for the squad doesn't necessarily mean any first teamers are going we lost Davies and Gomes, Gbamin and others are going.

We do but it would be nice to get one a bit more attacking / creative than that lad appears to be. We've got guys who can do the hard-working defensive side of things.

i see chelsea are still spending as if financial rules don't apply to them and dont give me that "well they've actually sold alot of players and made back some of that money"

absolute rubbish

according to transfermarkt their net spent last season was -543 million

they are about to sign sanchez from brighton for 25 million which will put their net spent at around +90 mil

that still means they have a negative net spend of 450 million on players in the last two seasons

they just gave colwill a lucrative long term contract so they won't be selling him

it also looks like chelsea's spending is set to continue as they are still linked with Caicedo and Lavia

looking at their current squad they may end up selling some players but the only ones they could probably get decent money for are Conor Gallagher and Lukaku

they may sell Broja but his injury problems will lower his price

they may also sell hudson-odoi, anjorin, maatsen and ziyech but they would not get more than 10 mil each for these players.

You miss the point about Chelsea. They are handing out long contracts. So the cost of it is spread across the contract. 30 million over 3 years is different to 30 mill over 5 years. I will let you do the maths.

The thing is, if they have all these signings on long term contracts, they may struggle to sell them if they don’t want them, and end up with a huge squad and unsustainable wage bill.

This. Chelsea have given most of their signings a 9 year contract. It’s a very smart move on there end because they don’t ever seem to have a problem selling there players if they don’t work out either.

Chelsea are going about it the wrong way for me even though I rate Poch. They have so many new players I don't see how it works

Accepted there’s gonna be no more additions before Fulham now to be honest

Still over a week. Plenty of time

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

Two sentences in bold would be ideal.

I agree with you on a lot of things when it comes to players mate, but people are unduly harsh on Gana. His numbers are still good.

Would like to phase him out, but he's worth keeping around until his contract ends. Be very handy off the bench for closing out games etc.

can’t even tell if this is a joke or not

Well the Portuguese lad and I hope some concrete progress on another central striker would be my wish

Under new UEFA rules they cannot pay the fee over more than five years and it is expected that some clubs will press PL to see the rules changed to also cap amortisation to that period (but this is possible not actual). The fee rule change is not retrospective so only applies to transfers from 28 June 2023. Any eventual PL amortisation change likely would be retrospective as accounting rule changes normally apply to all open transactions.

I was being serious, but I get it

 

[ValBlue]

in a week? wish I had that faith

 

[Bluewolf]

£7 million total according to the Esk.

We’re a circus.

Who in the blue hell agreed to that????
