It’s basically what Chelsea did with their loan brigade earlier into Roman abrahmovitch’s tenure.
Except that they are spending money to get the rights to the players and then use them as pawns in their balancing the books act.
They figure that by drying up the pool of available players , by purchasing them , they not only increase the value of those players but also force other clubs into spending more for other players.
Goalies don’t have as much value so I wonder if that’s why they don’t go there.
Think they got bitten with the kepa purchase.
Did they have something like 7 on their books last year or the year before?
Its all you have personal insults. Come on mods do something about it.
Show me where exactly?
If anything, the mods should ban you for trolling.
Ben Chilwell has agreed a two-year contract to join Strasbourg, who have the same BlueCo ownership as Chelsea, on a permanent basis.
The England international will sign a two-year contract which is the same as the remaining length of his contract at Stamford Bridge.
Nothing to see here, just some more entirely legitimate and in no way odd transfer business 
He will also definitely not proceed to move to a new club in january as well…
“It is a dream to move to Strasbourg, everyone neanear the Rhine region know how big this club is and I can’t wait to play in the best league in France.”
Chelsea being hit with 74 charges spanning over a decade 
Chelsea have been charged by the FA for alleged rule breaches during the Roman Abramovich era.
The club has been hit with a total of 74 charges relating to alleged breaches of rules on agents, intermediaries and “third-party investment in players”.
The alleged breaches relate to conduct between 2009 to 2022 and primarily between the 2010-11 and 2015-16 seasons.
Only 74 charges? Chelsea are what you get when you order Man City from Temu 
Must be running out of back hander money at the fa …i mean what Abramovich was the start but everything about the current lot is more dodgy and nothing …
We all know they’ll just get a slap on the wrist rather than expulsion or points deduction etc.
The fact this was done under the former criminal regime and was reported to the authorities by the new owners is expected to significantly mitigate the penalties they get
This is ridiculous. Teams basically have to admit to illegalities or have damning evidence leaked before the FA has any clue that anything illegal is happening. What a waste of time.
Doesn’t mitigate the fact that Roman effectively wrote off all his loans to Chelsea. These guys have started with a clean slate and have essentially had a get out of jail card.
The fact that the FA allowed this to happen is a disgrace.
Why are players still signing for these plastic toxic shits. There are so many examples of how they treat players the worst of any club - this is just the latest:
8 hours? His father sounds a bit lazy to be honest, my grandad worked down pit 50 hours a day for 2 pittance and seven pence. Maresca’s dad doesn’t know the meaning of hard work.
Luxury. We used to have to get out of the lake at six o’clock in the morning, clean the lake, eat a handful of 'ot gravel, work twenty hour day at mill for tuppence a month, come home, and Dad would thrash us to sleep with a broken bottle, if we were lucky!
