Nothing seems to stop Chelsea spending, villa has very determined owners, they will want to stay in the top four at the very least.

Chelsea book a profit of £37.5m (Maateson came through Chelsea youth so sale is 100% profit), and it all goes into period to 30 June which is VERY helpful for their ffp position ,
Meanwhile if Chelsea sign a player from Villa the fee is spread over 5 years (assuming a 5 year contract.
And Villa book whatever they make on the player they sell . again all profit before 30 June, whilst tyhey spread Maateson cost over 5 years.
Almost as if the 2 clubs both agreed to do deals to help each others ffp position out. Who would have thought it ? And its pretty similar to what Paratici got done 'for' - doing deals for financial reasons !
He definitely isn't HG. He left us at 16 and didn't join Chelsea until a couple of months before he turned 21. You need to be at an English team for 3 years between the ages of 15 and 21.He’s HG but not CT butSpursidol is the don daddy for these things
Conte wanting Richy specifically isn’t irrefutable though, that’s my point because it didn’t come from Conte direct
Or perhaps they both have a deadline to meet to ensure they don't breach...
Here's the thing. If Levy does back his managers, which is the drum you keep banging, why do they all fail to win anything and end up getting the sack?Spurs fans when they don't like the player's the manager wants:
Back the manager Levy
Every single one, in some all time winners, all fail.Here's the thing. If Levy does back his managers, which is the drum you keep banging, why do they all fail to win anything and end up getting the sack?
Crazy coincidence
Fair, we didn't buy players who were at the very top of their game but in those days, pretty much up till the last couple of years under Poch, if not until after Covid, we legitimately didn't have the money to do so and compete with clubs trying to sign them.
Our economic model relied on us identifying players that could become top players.
The ones you mentioned plus Bale, Walker, Alli, Lloris, Son, perhaps Lamela had he not been plagued with injuries.
Yes there was a lot of dross in between too but we have absolutely been graced with many great footballers whom we have all loved to watch.... some of whom have gone on to play for the most elite teams in the world.
I would also add that when you look at the likes of Lloris, Jan, Eriksen we adjusted our wage structure to keep them at the club for years longer than we would have been able to previously.
It seems to me like we are doing similar now with the likes of Udogie, Sarr, Porro, VDV, Dragusin, Johnson (still got to prove himself) and I absolutely agree that we have to add some proven, top class players. I think it a completely valid expectation now and is absolutely necessary for us to be able to compete. We do have the money to do it but we also do have to find value at times the way that every team, bar City do.

Once again I'll reiterate...
I would bite but it's a waste of time trying to debate with people who have the reading comprehension of a 5 year old
I'm sure others will so fill your boots
It’s almost like winning trophies is harder than just “backing your manager.” Well done Captain Brains.Here's the thing. If Levy does back his managers, which is the drum you keep banging, why do they all fail to win anything and end up getting the sack?
If it were that easy then every chairman would back their manager and everyone would win.
What a hippo you are.
So villa going for matsen and todibo. Seem to have alot more ambition than we do.
Add to Torres, Diaby and couple of other big money moves plus cl football

In other words, you don't have an answer
It's actually a perfectly reasonable question, mate.
So what is it that Levy doesn’t do if he IS backing them but still loses all the time
We could sign either if we wanted to battle them for those players.
Most likely we have other targets
Well he doesn’t seem to have the backing of the UAE.
Let’s turn this around on you - what other factors might be relevant to winning apart from “backing the manager”?
I’m sure with a little head scratching you’ll come up with 4 or 5 other significant factors.

Try and work on what I actually said, not what your brain read or what you want me to say and I might humour you because you're clearly after some nibbles
Bit more work on that comprehension matey.
Until then...
Put simply the club has to build trust it had with the fans before the stadium move.
There isn’t a shortcut either and they might need to do things outside their comfort zone financially.
The Ange era with Lange and the new structure is making a promising start but the club is passed the stage of promises, it needs to deliver now. Can’t blame anymore managers, cant sack anymore DOFs, just needs to get it done. By any means possible
