S-Clarke Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 The Chelsea 'zero strategy' bandwagon carries on. Someone has got to put a stop to them surely? Now going for Felix, who has already had a stint there which was a bit of a fail. They have no idea what they're doing, and you do have to feel somewhat for their fans as it's a hollow club. It's like a mega version of the WHU Transfer tombola. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like a mega version of the WHU Transfer tombola. Just theorising here but are they now taking Joao Felix just because he is a Jorge Mendes client and Mendes got them Neto ahead of the likes of Arsenal and Spurs who were supposedly also interested? Now the Omorodion deal has fallen through they need someone else from the Atletico squad to balance up the fees for the Gallagher deal to do their little FFP fiddle, and Felix wants out of Atletico and supposedly enjoyed his loan spell with Chelsea (even though at the time they didn't keep him on permanently) Edited August 12 by CSA96 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Just seen that Chelsea have given Cole Palmer a contract until 2033. 8/9 year deal?. I think those sorts of contracts are stupid.

V.Johnathan.Wilson Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 5 minutes ago, AlexLaw76 said: No, go on. I think its to do with the player purchase amortisation model, something to do with financial calculations for PSR based off of the initial sale divided by the contract length for each year the contract is valid. For example say Arsenal buys a player for 40 m on a four year contract, the expenses written in the book for that player purchase is 10 m spread across four financial years, Chelsea also buy a player for 40m but on an 8 year contract, they only have to write down 5 m for that player purchase expense essentially cutting their expenses in half in the accounts despite buying a player for the same price that Arsenal bought their player and that's where I assume the point of contention lies in setting their crazy long contracts. Its also the reason why Loaning Aaron Ramsdale would be extremely difficult for us financially just by being on a wage around the 100k a week bracket, because it would be the equivalent of us paying for a 20.8m player on a four year contract and that's not taking into account potential loaning fees.

That is Ramsdale's issue if he does not want to play football, surely? I am sure that amortisation is now limited to 5 years, regardless if you give a player an 8 year deal?

V.Johnathan.Wilson Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 (edited) Well if nobody wants to pay 30m or his wages for those gunning for a loan, then he'll probably be forced to take a salary cut in order to get a move if he desires it. I presume that if we still want to get Ramsdale this window then this is what we are banking on. Edited August 14 by V.Johnathan.Wilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely this is when the player signs for a club? Cole Palmer is signing his second contract with Chelsea after agreeing a 7 year contract last year. This is an additional two years so has nothing to do with the initial phasing of the transfer. So after the first contract this is just tying the player down for longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
