Ed, I gave it thought when people started mentioning it but it only took 2 minutes of thought to realise its bollocks.
Just good luck but as I said, not as lucky as Arsenal and utd giving us 125m between them.

Banjo, I think maddison is a cracking signing for you bud. Just as you say exactly what you need.

P.s Ed, just checked, it’s 3 sales to Saudi clubs, all for market value, ziyech, mendy and koulibaly. All fit the profiles of other players genuinely touted by Saudi clubs independent of the needs of chelsea fc.
I am sorry we didn’t struggle to offload players and breach FFP as many would have hoped, but again we have utd at 60m and arsenal 65m chiefly to credit for that. So thank you.

No Ed 150m has come from prem clubs, are they in on the conspiracy to benefit chelsea too?
Saudi are getting them in left right and centre in any case, it is fortunate for us.

That should be FFP sorted then, thanks to utd and arsenal chiefly.
Not happy about selling mount to utd on the whole but given he wanted out this is a good deal for all.
Best thing from Chelsea POV is all these big sales have come before July 1st and so will allow us to cover this year’s expenditure and give us scope to persue a few more additions as soon as new season technically commences on 1st of July when poch finally starts.

I’m so sorry for your loss @sonof999.
As a fellow blue it was a privilege to have come to know him.
Paul will be greatly missed on here and always in my heart.
He was a proud Grandad, and he let us all know just how much he loved his family.
I wish you all of Paul’s strength in this most difficult time.

Lads, with the new META seemingly being to defend in back 4 and attack with back 3, players who can play at elite level in a back 4 position as well as holding mid are pretty desirable.
It doesn’t have to be the full back that steps up in to midfield and in terms of transitioning from attack to defense or vice versa I think having the hybrid player move from centre back to holding mid rather than full back to holding mid could be a more comfortable fit. Rice would be perfect imo. Have ake and stones stay back with another centre back and let Rice move in to midfield with rodri. When they lose the ball he drops in to defensive line to make a back 4?
I think that’s how both pep and arteta could be looking at rice

Lads, I do get that it’s a hell of a coincidence that Saudi clubs are on a huge investment drive in to their leagues at a time chelsea have a bloated squad and need to sell to meet FFP.
However, it’s sloppy logic to jump to the conclusion it is a conspiracy to benefit of chelsea when there are many players from many clubs being touted and purchased.
Seems to me that given the circumstances and relative needs of chelsea and Saudi league, we are to them like an overstocked candy shop to rich kids.
Very lucky for us 😆

To be fair Alfie that is a water tight and genuine defence mate.
However my understanding is the issue is not that city’s commercial income was inflated via subsidy of owner via third company owned by its same owners, its that they advised the other premier league clubs to the contrary at that time. Call it deception, lies or fraud but in my understanding that’s where main issue is.

“Also just seen on SSN that RMs XG was only 0.01 – is that a mistake on SSN part? Personally, I don’t pay much attention to XG but has anyone ever seen one that low?”
Yeah Giblue, your eyes did not deceive you, except for that long risk drive from Kroos that hit the bar they didn’t come close to worrying you.
As good as you are on the ball I think you are better now because of huge improvements in how you are set up when you lose the ball and need to defend. Effectively 4 centre backs on the field proving the solidity you would expect with such a line up, but this hasn’t come with the expected drop off in offensive play that would normally come from playing 4 all out defenders.
Of course this is chiefly down to pep and the outstanding level of coaching because its very hard to get players with egos and bank balances like city players to really play as a true collective off and on the ball. Pep done that with barca and city and I am starting to realise he deserves even more respect than I already give him.

Gongrats city fans. That’s was as composed and classy a display as you will see at this level. Different class and in my mind near certain to beat Inter and claim your first champs league.
Whether they do or don’t though city are the best team in Europe.
