Fear Of The Fox Posted 13 August 2023 Posted 13 August 2023 (edited) Everton, Luton, Brentford, Forest, Burnley, Wolves and Spurs will fight for staying up this season. Early days but it's obvious Spurs have huge issues in their defensive line. They have 17 days to fix it and the problem was there during pre season. If it stays like that they're going to be in big trouble like us last season. P. S. The 2nd goal of Spurs isn't a Madders assist. I've checked it a dozen of times. It seems like we're very close to an official statement that the sun sets from the east and we need to believe it. Edited 13 August 2023 by Fear Of The Fox

StanSP Posted 13 August 2023 Posted 13 August 2023 There's me thinking the long-term contracts aren't allowed any more, above 5 years...

They don't even have money coming in from European football. Now another 8 year contract. They seem to be able to do what the hell they want. 2 1

Leicesterpool Posted 13 August 2023 Posted 13 August 2023 Spending over 100 million seems like a norm now, when is enough. 1
Langston Posted 13 August 2023 Posted 13 August 2023 Is Caceido a Chelsea fan? If I was a footballer with the choice of them or Liverpool in 2023 there's only one I'm taking. 1
trabuch Posted 14 August 2023 Posted 14 August 2023 Chelsea are taking the piss. And they are still ordinary.

They must be close to breaking FFP rules even if the owners are that rich ? Seems they can sign players for 8 years but only 5 of it can be “ amortised“ unless a new contract can b at a later stage . https://amp.theguardian.com/football/2023/jun/28/chelsea-suffer-blow-as-uefa-close-transfer-contract-loophole So basically Chelsea will just offer a new contract every other year or sell him on after 4....

FrankieADZ Posted 14 August 2023 Posted 14 August 2023 so chelsea have spent £821mil in 3 transfer window, jesus christ how the hell are they getting away with this

Agree with your other choices, but suspect Spurs will be too strong.
Leicesterpool Posted 14 August 2023 Posted 14 August 2023 (edited) Jack Harrison playing his tricks again, went to Everton for a medical upon an agreed an loan move. While there Villa come in with a late offer, he tells Everton that hes going to join Villa instead. Turns up at Villa, fails the medical at bodymoor heath. Villa pull the plug and makes a uturn decides he wants to go Everton now... 😆 Edited 14 August 2023 by Leicesterpool

So he’s grown up with Chelsea being one of the best teams in the world, unlike Liverpool.

Just seems a bit of a strange choice to pick over Liverpool without question, even though I do think they'll be much better under Poch.

Now had he not mentioned the ECL I wouldn’t have picked West Ham out as the club being spoken about if I just read that alone 😂

Something happens to James and Chilwell their style of play goes out the window. Edited 14 August 2023 by BKLFox

There will be Ecuadorians living in London but very few in Liverpool 1

There will be Ecuadorians living in London but very few in Liverpool I mean there's every chance he hasn't even had to move. I doubt Chelsea still enforce their 'live near cobham' rule. Wouldn't be surprised if he already lived in London, if not somewhere in between Brighton and London, easily commutable to training. 1
StanSP Posted 14 August 2023 Posted 14 August 2023 Chelsea fans absolutely over the moon about all this spending (which is sickening in itself) but they were all up in arms when Man City were taking the piss with spending too. Chelsea have a distinct air of smugness about them over it all. So much so that they can't even see their own hypocrisy. Or they're too stupid to. Or both. Seen plenty on social media saying 'ooh everyone is an accountant now when it comes to Chelsea's finances'. No. We're just not naive enough to think it's all okay.
spacemunky Posted 14 August 2023 Posted 14 August 2023 I'll give that Caicedo looks like a promising young player, but so are a lot of 20 somethings. That amount looks like what Man City would be paying for someone like Bukayo Saka.
