I'd forgotten that Kepa is still under contract for another season, the final one of his 7 year deal.
Chelsea have so many players on long term deals now, they'll be a nightmare to move on.0 -
Already having issues with unwanted players this summer - Kepa, Sterling, Broja, Lukaku etc.
And that's before all the recent 8 year contract lot turn out to be not worth it.0 -
Chelsea also close to signing Pedro Neto for £60m from Wolves.... They are being run ridiculously.0
-
Are they hoping that if they just keep signing players there will be such a backlog to go through, the FA etc will never catch up?0

Allegedly (well, with a pinch of salt from the regular Spurs ITK sources), Neto has been Ange's main target all summer, along with Eze. Allegedly a deal was being worked on. Player happy to come, personal terms agreed, etc. Looks like Mendes has stuffed Levy again, not for the first time. Surprised he'd choose Chelsea over Spurs in their current state but there you go.
So they'll have Palmer, Madueke and now Neto all fighting it out for the right wing spot now. How many wingers does one club bloody need?1 -

How can a team have so many players, but no top class centre forward?2

Wouldn't be surprised if Madueke goes to Newcastle. Right Winger seems to be their main target.0 -
The only way to stop City winning the EPL this season

Man Utd have signed de Ligt from Bayern for 45m0

Please tell me his first name is Angel6

Wan Bissaka has signed for West Ham on a seven year deal0
-
Kane must be regretting that Bayern move. Selling de ligt seems a bit of a backwards step0

Quite injury prone though, wasn't involved in Euro 2024 and only played 22-games in the Bundesliga last seasonBigRedEvil said:Kane must be regretting that Bayern move. Selling de ligt seems a bit of a backwards step0 -
De Ligt is slightly overrated if you ask me. Had amazing centre back partners all.his career really in top sides in the league. Different proposition being the main guy in a tough PL

Bayern, Real etc have known when to let Man Utd give them big money for players just before they decline - Schweinsteiger, Casemiro, Varane etc.ForeverAddickted said:

De Ligt is younger but wonder if they reckon he'll miss too many games etc.1 -
The fee De Ligt went for was quite a bit less than either Juventus or Bayern paid for him. So either a player past his prime, for whatever reasons, or a bargain.1

Think this is the least excited I’ve been for the start of a new Premier League season. Anyone else feeling that way?0

Chelsea want to hand Senegal striker Nicolas Jackson a two-year extension that would commit him to the club until 2033. (Telegraph - subscription required)

Palmer has just signed an improved and extended one to 2033 too. Chelsea are taking amortisation to a whole new level. Imagine if someone like Ipswich tried "pot committing" themselves to a squad on nine-year contracts, were relegated and couldn't sell all those players on £2m plus per year.iaitch said:Chelsea want to hand Senegal striker Nicolas Jackson a two-year extension that would commit him to the club until 2033.

Seems once you join Chelsea you're not allowed to leave.0

Thanks. Clubs are still committed to paying those salaries for nine years though. Can't remember which club that a certain Winston Bogarde refused to move from but he made just nine appearances in four years for them!JohnBoyUK said:1 -

Oh, absolutely. I'm trying to get my head around the accounting side of it.Addick Addict said:

Player sits in the accounts as an asset on the Balance sheet.
So, for simplicities sake, a club buys a player for £100m on a 7 year contract, lets say.
Following the rules of the amortisation, the value is reduced on the books by £20m a year up to 5 years, so at the end of the 5th year, the player is worth NIL on the books.
So do they benefit by the player having no value on the books, when they can then presumably sell the player on for cash?
Does it make any sense to put a player on a longer contract than the amortization period?
I note Solanke has been put on a 6 year contract and the only other Spurs player put on that length of contract was Harry Kane.1 -
I believe that is correct.sam3110 said:0 -
I'm not sure where the rules affect the accounting numbers as well as the "FFP" numbers.
i.e. if you buy someone for £100m and give them a 10 years contract, the FFP calculation would spread the cost over 5 years, but the accounting numbers in the published accounts could still spread it over 10 years?
