Have a feeling this transfer window will be a record high spend in premier league and globally. Fuck knows how Chelsea are getting away with this. Saw on sky last night back pages liverpool might be complaining to premier league about it. It's getting out of control and needs a wage cap and spend limit percentage to turnover. 115m for caicedo is ludicrous money.
 
Fuck knows how Chelsea are getting away with this
simon jordan explains it on a talksport clip on youtube. writing it all off over 8 years and shit. getting away with it for now but could hurt them in a couple years time, if no CL and players flop etc. they are actually in profit over the last 2 years due to havertz and other sales theyve done lol.

thing is if they are doing dodgy shit with the saudis buying their flops then they are basically cheating and wont get fucked by FFP.

Needs to be stopped all this shit and follow NFL who have wage cap ls and percentage spend to turnover. Unless they're in the know this is going to happen very soon. Do think as well lower finished clubs at end of season should have first pick of best young player and works the way up the table. Chelsea have a shitty ground as well. Their wage bill must be astronomical.
 
If the squad is too big:
1) It will breed a toxic atmosphere due to some players not getting (enough) playing time. And that's a fact, which is why the best head-coaches always prefer a "trim" squad.
2) It will affect the wages bill and thus prevent potential signing from signing.
You ignored the salient part here, it was “don’t care about squad size now”, that it will mostly self resolve as replacements come in, and Saudi offers move lower down the quality chains.

it was kind of stopped. they only getting away with it now cos they aint in europe which is a strange rule. apparently only teams not playing in europe can have players on contracts longer than 5 years.

i dont like the idea of the lower teams get first pick etc, too americanised. run your clubs properly and get some good scouts in and you dont need charity. we should be looking to get more alfie devines in..300k he cost! you do 5 of them,1 or 2 is gonna strike gold! all for 1.5m. its a no brainer. just takes peope that actually know what to look for when looking at a footballer.

look at brighton, they are absolutely smashing it because they got people that know what they are doing! thats how football clubs should grow, by merit not by charity.
 
People are getting very wound up by things that are made up.

But you probably already knew that
No Way What GIF

Every league in the world would have to agree to the same wage cap
