Yup. And all players are evaluated on goals scored...even GKs and that's why most are shit. Since goals win games I cannot, for the live of me, figure why you'd evaluate them on anything else. Goals are the most important thing and it's what they show on MOTD. Do they show throw-ins on MOTD?Are players only as good as the numbers of their current season?
But again, we have the lowest wages to turnover ratio in the league, and anything related to infrastructure expenditure (ie the stadium) is specifically exempted from FFP.They built up their brand and on-field success pre-FFP. Once FFP rolled around they were already cashing in and didn't need the owner infusions. Not to say there isn't some hanky panky going on, but not pre-2011 levels.
In a couple years he will be someone’s Arteta. Respect Jose cone guyJoao Sacramento maybe he’s still somewhere at the training ground, ready for the call ?
Did you see his assist today against Germany?Eriksen is also not the same player he was a couple years ago. He lost his fire. Still a good player but far from his peak
They were loan deals. In the case of Tielemans it was 6 months and by the time that waddling bastard got in shape (which he wouldn't have for our CM2) there woul dhave been a month left of the season...same for Coutinho. The kid was barely playing at Monaco...because he wasn't athletic enough.
And does that descriptive stat necessarily rebut Guido's point about them being passive? Reactive or counter-attacking teams can score goals. And just because they score a lot of them doesn't mean they now play on the front foot.Chelsea were 2nd in goals scored in 2016/17 (1 behind us for most)
Morata 60 mill - KaneThese are the players Conte signed in 2017 at Chelsea
Morata 60 mill
Bakayoko 36 mill
Drinkwater 34 mill
Rudiger 31 mill
Zappacosta 22 mill
Emerson 18 mill
Giroud 15 mill
Barkley 15 mill
231 million, the summer after winning the league with CL on offer and that's the crap they ended up with. No wonder he was sacked 1 year later after finishing 5th.
That last GIF has me pissing myself with laughter.Well the GIF game will be strong with this guy. More Italian than the mob.

He wasn't happy with these signings though, which is part of the reason he fell out with Roman.These are the players Conte signed in 2017 at Chelsea

Nor was he appointed full time manager.
News announced there first ?
I feel with Sissoko it'd be like when you point at something and the dog just looks at your finger instead.That last GIF has me pissing myself with laughter.
Can't wait for Conte to start pointing at Sissoko who points back at him from the pitch.![]()

I totally agree and mentioned the same in another post. The point I was making was that we have the resources to spend more. We don't need Lewis to chip in, something that could also run us afoul of FFP.But again, we have the lowest wages to turnover ratio in the league, and anything related to infrastructure expenditure (ie the stadium) is specifically exempted from FFP.
FFP was not, is not, and will not be a limitation on our spending in anything but our wildest dreams.
and remember lads, get renewing those season tickets lads before the deadline closes

I fully understand that. And in certain ways Levy has achieved alot. However, it should not entirely be at the expense of the football club. We are the 9th richest club in the world, yet for the last 2 seasons, it has been more exciting to watch Villa, Leicester, Wolves...... We have become a business that has football for entertainment and not a FC that has businesses.This isn’t limited to us, generally there are only 2/3 clubs a season that win anything. Every other club is trying to balance players, spending and managers. Few rarely get it right
