How are Chelsea able to throw around 70/80m like it’s nothing? Is there no consequence for the billions loaned from their oligarch?
You're not too far off, if you move the decimal point one place to the right and double it.
Mate, it’s United fans. Do you really think they didn’t want Arnautovic for any reason other than the fact that he is completely and utterly wank at football?
His personality is a completely secondary and for the most part irrelevant issue.
90M then send him back on Loan

Imagine if he gets a serious injury that's bonkers.
Werner was class at RBL too... but then
Let's see how they spend over the next couple windows, the owner is obviously interested in splashing cash and making a good first impression. Just think it's a bit early to say it will be sustained.And people were saying Chelsea aren't going to spend like they did under Abramovich. If anything, they are spending more. Not only that, but they are getting some real quality players. If Gvardiol goes through, that's a back 5 of James, Fofana, Gvardiol, Cucurella, Koulibaly, which is probably the one with the highest ceiling of any club. They will be tough this year and probably more so next year.
It will be interesting to see if they can get the revenue growth not to run into FFP trouble. I do wonder if it is Saudi money too.Let's see how they spend over the next couple windows, the owner is obviously interested in splashing cash and making a good first impression.

That said, what a massive amount of money they've spent between just Fofana and Gvardiol (170 million euros)
