Silva has made no secret of wanting to end his career in Brazil, might opt to do that while he's in good nick before falling victim to the knackers yard.

Better than buying another striker that we ruin

Trying to rationalise this signing...

What's there to rationalise?
It's clearly Tuchel's fault

That's a lot of loans he will be on in the next few years

Big Benoit can get the feet up and cigars out now and enjoy the next 7.5 years

7.5 years, reminds me of that mental Pardew contract at Newcastle

stop copying us by ignoring your weakest position and buying one for the position you're already stacked in (just a lil joke before someone cries)

interesting that Chelsea are giving out such long contracts.

For FFP and accounting purposes transfer fees are spread over the length of the contract so, for example, Forfana at £70m over 7 years = £10m a year on their Player amortisation. A standard 5 year contract would have increased that to a £14m annual cost. So if you apply that over a number of contracts your player amortisation rates could be a couple dozen million lower, which helps keep you in profit/reduce losses.

But its a risk as you now have that player for 7 years, whether they're a success or not and risk making a sizable loss or tied in to their wages if they do not succeed. But its a way of getting big deals done and spreading the cost for FFP purposes

£35m transfer fee for a crap player repeatedly sent on loan. How's that a win?

If he is brilliant he will be sent on loan - de Bruyne, Salah

posted on 5/1/23

Can't argue about de Bruyne but Salah looked like crap in the admittedly too few appearances he made for us.

Salah was NOT brilliant for us.

De Bryune was, certainly in terms of the potential being obvious, but he was sold - not loaned.

£35m transfer fee for a crap player repeatedly sent on loan. How's that a win?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Loan fees are around £3-5m and then when 2 years are left sell him

Makes sense as they’ve lost all their goalscoring defenders.

So they buy this play, loan him out sell him and make a loss or break even?

All i am saying is that it aint a win win. You will struggle to find an example of a player brought for such a lofty sum who was sold for big money having been loaned out over and over.

They spent £170m on 3 defenders and have underwhelmed defensively.

We've spent close to 300mil since the summer & gotten weaker everywhere. Why limit it to the defence?

Actually that's a lie. Thanks to Potter's trust in him, Kepa's gone from toilet duck to being sort of sh!t. That's a win

Yeah and score fewer because they can’t replace the goals they lost from Rudiger and Alonso.

I wasn’t even joking when I said in the summer Chelsea will have problems replacing their goals. Their defenders were their top scorers. They were set piece kings last season, even when they were supposedly battering teams when they were top.

Bit like Spurs this season actually, but not as shiiiiit and could defend.
