Their fans also don't demand every one of their academy players is in the squad. They understand it's as much a profit centre as a centre of excellence.
And I think Chelsea lie about transfer fees received.

And I think Chelsea lie about transfer fees received.
Atsu was signed from Porto (we were linked quite a lot) for £3.5m.
They just posted £143 million losses for the last accounting year and you can bet they’ll be knocking out a few youngsters for £20/30 million to cover that. Bloody annoying.
I think they sold him for like 15 million or something.
Do you honestly think if Ousmane Dembele was available on a free there wouldn’t be a plethora of clubs after him?
Don’t be so naive mate.
Investment in property is what drives ENIC. Not football teams.Those graphs are embarrassing - what we’ve been suspecting for years now - expecting world class players on Championship
wages.
Honest John
Yet the likes of
Airfixx
still spinning lies about 400m invested in players - unfathomable
You said it, Chief. We've been down this road with Reguilon.
Juve deal agreed in principle, PSG about to offer one. So yeah we got fuck all chance.
Decent player but never seen enough from him to make me think he is our standard.
I used to watch a fair amount of Championship games before covid and we should have gone for Bowen.
Are there are any similar prospects down there these days?

I really dont see the point.
Theres so many issues in this team to fix. Gollini has played 3 seasons of Serie A, finished 3rd and played CL football. WTF do we need Johnstone?
Manchester United player Dean Henderson denied loan move
Dean Henderson's frustrating season at Man United continues with the January transfer window due to open this week.
Henderson is contracted to United until 2025 and earns around £120,000-a-week. He had been told he was due to start the season as the number one goalkeeper but contracted Covid-19 in the second week of pre-season and was laid low for a month. Henderson has only played twice this term in the League Cup and final Champions League group gam
Giollini looks crap and isn't HG.
Johnstone is decent and IS homegrown.
Wasting a foreign player spot on a #2 keeper when we have HG issues is dumb.
Generational talent?
What?
Based on what? How has he proven his overall ability?
He was wonderful piece of business for Dortmund, agreed. But thats where it all ended. For good.
Also fee is not too relevant with him - he not worth much - transfermarkt gives him 35 mil eur valuation (!) + contract about to run out. But issue is - he wants long and big contract. Don't know details, but I'd assume 4 years, 250k per week would be minimum.
That is 52 mil EUR commitment. And then... if he is absent from the squad for a season?
Way too much risk. And quite frankly I do not believe he will ever will be mentioned in the same sentence again with Mbappe.
He is could have been.
Leicester need a big war chest spent to sort themselves out. Worth remembering that the figures I posted were to May 2020 - and the figures to May 2021 will be worse due to covid.
Owners were promising a new stadium so as to increase revenues - but the current planning will only take them up to a capacity of 40k , they will also build a hotel and indoor arena. That will increase revenues but probably only take them up to being comparable to say Everton, and some way behind the big 6 clubs.
Before that they probably need to pump in £200m+ just to clear debts from the last 2 - 3 years big losses.
And unless they sell some of the players who are higher earners, Leicester owners will need to pump £50m - £100m each year until the stadium is built, hotel is regularly full and indoor stadium full of events so as generate money. And the stadium, hotel and indoor arena are probably 3 years away from producing extra income.
Hence my comments that players coming to the end of their contracts and won't re-sign may be sold if 'an acceptable' offer' comes in, rather than the player run down his contract more so that his value decreases - and at end of contract its zero.
