farawaysaint Posted 10 March, 2022 Share Posted 10 March, 2022 Apparently Chelsea are unable to sell any tickets or merchandise as a direct impact of the sanctions and the sale of the club has been put on hold. https://news.sky.com/story/chelsea-football-club-owner-roman-abramovich-sanctioned-by-uk-government-amid-crackdown-on-russian-oligarchs-12562148 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we know if Chelsea are supplementing his salary with us - if so does that become an embargoed transaction? (and a can of worms). Still if Tino steps himself up another couple of levels and everyone starts sniffing around, with the buy back clause I guessing he can't go anywhere (or just a different brand of canned worms). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 10 March, 2022 Share Posted 10 March, 2022 (edited) It's hard to say what will happen at Chelsea, it could go one of two ways. They can't sit with all these players hemorrhaging money, the transfer ban surley doesn't include players they sell? (although I guess until it's not in romans hands, the money could still go to Russia) I still think we're well out of the reach anyway given the fee they will likely look for. Certainly Tammy Abraham type levels (so 35-40m) Edited 10 March, 2022 by S-Clarke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusic Posted 10 March, 2022 Share Posted 10 March, 2022 (edited) I would imagine it means any fees (even loan) cannot be seen to go into the club and as they would also not be able to buy anyone I would assume that it means the chances of Broja being anywhere but Chelsea next season are almost none. Unless somehow the sanctions are lifted in the near future. Anyway, Chelsea would be out of their minds if they didnt have Broja in their squad next season regardless of this.

beatlesaint Posted 10 March, 2022 Share Posted 10 March, 2022 So unless a player is out of contract they are stuck at Chelsea or, in the case of Werner, Chelsea are stuck with them. We might get a second season Broja loan then but Chelsea wouldn’t be able to take a fee for any players they loan out. I can’t see “free loans” for young players would be stopped as nobody benefits financially. I suppose any sale is halted as RA obviously benefits financially from that?

tunit Posted 10 March, 2022 Share Posted 10 March, 2022 Maybe Armando and his family will want him to move away from Chelsea now. They could terminate his contract and we could get him on a free? Wishful thinking I think haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu Posted 10 March, 2022 Share Posted 10 March, 2022 Not sure this is good for us. We've built up a rapport with Chelsea but this means we have no chance of getting Broja for another year and the next Livramento type signing will have to come from elsewhere. I'm sure we've been looking at a few from their academy/loaned out players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatlesaint Posted 10 March, 2022 Share Posted 10 March, 2022 This is only currently in place until 31 May so basically until the end of the season.

steve green Posted 10 March, 2022 Share Posted 10 March, 2022 Be interesting to see what happens to the buyback / sell-on % arrangements they've made with other clubs. Some decisions will need to be made sooner rather than later as individual players would be able to walk if their ability to transfer or career progress is affected. Chelsea in effect would be in breach of contract, even if it was due to sanctions out of their control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexLaw76 Posted 10 March, 2022 Share Posted 10 March, 2022 Lets put a cheeky bid I'm for Broja. Knowing their issue, offer to pay for their Megabus to their next away game, as a form of transfer fee. Seems fair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, unless it ends up really bad for Chelsea to the point of a fire sale, which I think is unlikely, this probably reduces our chances of getting Broja. They can’t sell him even if they wanted to until the sanction is lifted anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSAINT Posted 10 March, 2022 Share Posted 10 March, 2022 From Goal, re: Chelsea contracts. Outside of the first-team picture, Danny Drinkwater, Charly Musonda, George McEachran, Jake Clarke-Salter, Thierno Ballo and Xavier Simons are all into the final few months of their contracts. Chelsea have no interest in keeping any of those players bar Simons, who has significant long-term potential having made his first team debut this season under Thomas Tuchel. ——— We were linked with him.
