OFFICIAL FOOTY THREAD ⚽️: Rodri wins 2024 Ballon d’Or

[Bosa]

Terrible trade

 

[Gex the Damaja]

Anyone have a lead on Saudi jerseys?
If Neymar goes to Al-Hilal, gonna need to pick one up until he goes back to Santos.

The buy loan and flip plan is still at work. Chelsea trying to buy every youth player this summer.

Those long *** contracts are crazy. I get why a player might want to sign it

Definitely agreed. Long contracts are crazy but wages can be increased during negotiations. That probably explains why players are fine with long term contracts

I really wonder what wages Caicedo is on

I really wonder what wages Caicedo is on

I saw that it's 250k a week with performance bonuses that can bring it to 320k in future years

 

[Beans]

Man I hope he works out cuz that’s a big contract on a lot of years to try and move on

 

[worldbeefreeg]

Joao Felix has a lot talent but man does he escape criticism for being unproductive, and what happened to the ball carrying he used to do?

Literally everyone in here says he sucks all the time and criticizes him not stop for being unproductive. It’s why no one has made a move for him yet this summer (I still believe he can put up big numbers and shine).

We are seeing the ups and downs of that model, my guys Cucurella/Mudryk/Fofana are on very long contracts and are all questionable. There is no way of ever recouping the massive fees we paid for any of them at this current trajectory, or getting value out of them on the field

 

[vtotheinay]

so if Chelsea doesn't finish top 4 again they're gonna be very ****** without that CL money 2 years in a row right?

 

[cs02132]

Sheesh 250k a week for 8 years I’d be down too

 

[rolaholic]

so if Chelsea doesn't finish top 4 again they're gonna be very ****ed without that CL money 2 years in a row right?

Probably but in terms of expectations, for almost a billion spent in a year, they should be challenging for the title tbh

Especially with only playing 1 match a week this season without European footy.

Definitely not ready for a legit title challenge, but top 5 for CL footy next season should be the bare minimum target this season.

But I have no clue what missing out on the CL for another season would mean. None of us really knows how FFP works, as much as we’d like to think we do.

 

[AZwildcats]

We also don’t know what kind of financial shenanigans Boehly and Co are doing to make this all work out. I have to believe they have taken FFP and EPL spending rules into consideration

But I completely agree, with this kind of spending a title should be the target in the next coming 1-2 seasons

[jape]

one of the worst matches i’ve ever seen. so much time wasting and bs and barely any football. added time was just more time for getafe to waste and foul

 

[vtotheinay]

he's getting how much????

 

[romulus]

FSG NEED TO PAY THE F****** MONEY!

I said to pay the 50m almost a week ago and now we're about to pay 60m.

What a joke

 

[haicheo]

Ney really is finished. Was waiting for the ‘here we go’

 

[8pm at msg]

Caicedo coming in does push the target higher on our end of season goal but Nkunku being out until probably December still hurts. Its gonna be fight and it puts on timer on Pochettino but hopefully he was prepped for that when he signed.

I'm going to assume baseball money and private capital money can keep us afloat for a while. If concession prices at Dodger Stadium have to go up to the make the dream work in London they have my stamp of approval.
