a top four finish?
What positions does Poch need to bring in top quality replacements additionally to Nkunku(60m) & Jackson(30m) ?
Imo, we need 4 players; another goalkeeper( 50m), a center half (50m),defensive midfielder(80m) and a world class striker (80m):
This could easily cost 250m+ additionally to the 90m already spent.= 340m:
The squad is coming together, but it is very young, we very may well loose both Mount (60m) & Gallagher(50m) also Chalabah(25m) & C H-OD(25m)+ Pulisic (25m): That is in =185m: The first round of sales will have brought in = 170m:
TOTAL in combined fees 350m:
TOTAL out combined fees 340m:
Plus the club will also additionally bring in other squad player sales & loan fees.
? where will this leave the club with FFP?
I believe that what ever sales/ fees (175m)generated by ? the end of this month will go towards closing the current, 3 season FFP requirement we are at the limit, a 120m loss:
After this it may be the case that any expenditure goes towards the next 3 season FFP requirement.
If this is the case, i expect we will see the club go for another 3/4 players, although dependent on who Poch may wish to keep.
The reality for the club is half measures will not get a top four finish next season, which currently our highly talented young in experienced squad represent.
I think the owners will go for it, its their style, huge risk.
Any ideas!
COY Blues , KTBFFH!

Absolute uproar if Chelsea spend in excess of 300m this summer

If we are clear of the current FFP requirement, which i think we are. ( clearing the 120m - 3 season loss allocation, by the end of this month )
I think the club will spend again & another 150/200m on top of the 90m spent on Nkunku & Jackson
I would genuinely be surprised if we didn't.

For us to get back into the top 4 all I think we need is a proper medical department to stop us picking up silly muscular injuries. If we get 7 or 8 players playing 30+ PL games including James, Forfana, Chilwell, Enzo and Nkunku then I think we will finish top 4.

Agreed the injury issue is a vulnerability, loosing James, Chillwell repetitively has effected us.

Spent £600m and finished miles behind us, but suddenly you will finish above us?
Even by circumventing the rules, Chelsea will find it hard to break into top 8 - let alone top 4
Poch to get the sack by Xmas - now that's a certitude there!

Spot on. Chelsea are currently a shambolic mess. Pochettino won't last until Xmas. They have the most clueless owner in football. Totally out of his depth. Long may it continue.
