4llerbuntu: building castles and mansions in d air I see.

apparently it's daily mail that purchased players for Chelsea now. FFP is 12 months away and I guess d management are not daft.

for. a club that had a lot to do to meet up before the latest projected spree, it is unlikely that all these stories are true

BlueDiva: ^^^
Meanwhile the Hazard deal is still all rumour.
Is it yet confirmed that Kalou and Bosingwa are leaving?

nateevs: When you see Hazard and Hulk next to the Chelsea club secretary, buy some tissue quickly, you might burst an artery.

ritchboy:

You use tissue for your burst arteries?

nateevs: Remember squad rules people.

There cannot be more than 17 foreign players in the mandatory 25-man squad.

We currently have 13 foreign players with Drogba left and the duo of Kalou and Bosingwa who have been released.
We probably will sign Marin, Hazard and Hulk. That makes 16. We have just one more spot left for a foreign player unless we move one of Benayoun, Malouda, Essien and Meireles.


I believe we will buy a foreign right back and that will be it. No Dembele and no other CM unless, he's English.
Unless I'm wrong and it works the other way round - One foreign CM and no RB/English RB.

You know as Well as i Do that Malouda have to bid Goodbye!


His style is more Joe Cole than Luka Modric but Eden Hazard did everything he could to prove his worth at Wembley.

The stats added up for the attacking midfielder in his first performance after saying he is joining Chelsea from Lille, too, but an end result was missing:

Hazard took 90 touches in his 90-minute appearance, 27 more than the busiest England player.
Attempted and completed more passes than any other player - 62 of 71 on target.

Fired the most shots - with two on target and two wayward.

Created six chances as he roamed around the England half. -- Aint that Jxt Impressive?

chic2pimp: Micah Richards feels he should be starting and has apparently made it clear to the F.A he should not be considered for selection if he is not guaranteed a starting spot.
The same thing Carrick did

youngsoye: I heard chelsea wil play champions league play-off.

nateevs:


Absolute joker laying the inner thought of his fearful mind bare and hoping that FFP can provide justification for those hallucinations. I bet you can't even explain how FFP affects/doesn't affect transfers.

When you see Hazard and Hulk next to the Chelsea club secretary, buy some tissue quickly, you might burst an artery.

has that nucca spewing thrash all over the european football board infected you with his malaise?
u need to show some respect brother. as in really......."i bet you can't even explain......"
that's just too bad of you. and here i am thinking that we were all just getting along fine now the season is over. guess being a knucklehead is one of your best attributes.

by the way, i remember the last time some ninjas were doing financial projections here u cats were over a 100 mill in deficit. with 25 or so mill for AVB and the projected nearly 100 mill for the latest splurge, added with definitely sky high wages for the shiny new players i do believe that your money making has not yet caught up with your spending!

so tell me how you are supposed to live within your income when expenses are more than double income.
the 1st 2 years are not that crucial anyway, given the % of compliance you are supposed to meet, but are we now to assume your club will simply stop spending money or suddenly acquire more income making schemes out of the blue?



anyway, im not one for the financial arguments, my point earlier was simply that all those newspaper rumors are not likely to be true, and i cited the FFP as one of the reasons. apparently i overestimated the intelligence quotient of your board and management, at least according to you! MERDE!!!!

1025:

@4llerbuntu,
you and your frustrated group of friends are quick to insult chelsea fans yet u will be the ones to call on ur friend(moderator chamotex) to ban another for saying his mind.
from ur little knowledge of ffp, chelsea cannot survive within her income yet man u owes the highest debt in epl. for u to live within ur income, u need to be debt free. man u as a team is paying nani 90k a week and are ready to pay 130k to keep him and they won nothing this last season meaning they need reinforcements. who are they bringing? wenger types of players i think? if remaining high on debt list will be part of the survival when the FFP laws come into effect, chelsea will not be found wanting because we have an owner that will be there to give us interest free loans.
man u as a team went for hazard but failed and chelsea went and succeed, why are u mad about that? man u used to parade the most expensive players in epl until the coming of roman and the abu dhabi don at man city. every talk and envy must wait for these new powers to exercise their financial muscles.
i will suggest u learn to live with these new ideas in soccer or try suicide.

nateevs:

Alright bros no vex. But na you dey run ya mouth. Your comments made me go hard on you. Like you said, you are not one for financial arguments so why are you having one?

FFP allows for a club to make losses of 45m Euros over 2 seasons. Last season Chelsea made £220 in revenue with £65m loss. That's with back-to-back seasons of dropping out in the QF of the CL. This year Chelsea won the CL, total revenue from the CL alone is already in excess of £50m. Estimated revenue post-CL triumph could take total earnings up to £80m, i.e. Sponsorship, TV money, gate revenue from the extra competitions - Super Cup, World Cup Championship. Increased revenue from TV pot for the Premier League clubs. (As winners, we are joint top-earners with Man City).

Regarding transfers, players transfer values are never added as a lump figure in any single financial year. Instead, the amount is amortised over the length of the contract. Meaning, £32m for Hazard and £38m for Hulk and £7m will not be added as £77m in the next financial year. For that reason, Chelsea are now signing players on longer contracts - typically 5 years as seen in the length of contracts of Torres, Luiz, Ramires and Mata. So will it be for Hazard, Hulk and Marin.

With a longer contract length, the amortised figure is less. So a £32m Hazard signing will show up as just over £6m. The total transfer value of £77m will reflect as just over £15m in the financial year. With the total estimated increased revenue, do you think an amortised figure of £15m will kill us?


Portuguese wages are low and heaven knows Hulk may not be more than £30,000 a week. A transfer to Chelsea will double that and still put him in the wage bracket of Mata, Ramires, Luiz, Cahill and I reckon Marin, Hazard will fall in that bracket and in line with the new wage structure being implemented at Chelsea. (Never mind what the media want you to believe about Hazard). So will others who join. Players like KDB will earn much less yet provide a credible amount of work to the team. With the fusion of the youth players like Josh, Kakuta, Bertrand, Hutchinson, the overall wage bill is going anywhere but up. Especially with the release of Drogba, Anelka, Alex, Kalou, Bosingwa and subsequent releases of Malouda, Essien, Lampard and Ferriera.

Does it really sound to you as though Chelsea are in any bit of trouble that you paint a picture of being so skint we can't afford to make £30m transfers? With the all important clause in the FFP rule stating that "the club needs to be showing efforts to reduce spending", you were having a hard-on for nothing. Exactly why I cam down hard on you.

Bone FFP, Chelsea are in good shape.

4llerbuntu:

ok, but the part i doubt is the wages. dude the kinda wages being paid these days man, i doubt if pple like hulk and hazard will be on less than 100k. but then Drogba's wages alone will offset hulk and half of Hazards.

cuz men if that were not to be so, then pple like Van Pee wont be stalling on 130k o. but honestly, id be surprised if you guys make more than 2[b] big name [/b]signings. reality is that fantasy football is only played online

nateevs: It's officially. . . Terms have been agreed with Eden Hazard.

Now 4llerubuntu is really going to choke.

Chelsea Will Add Hulk In Revamp

Chelsea have prepared a package worth £7 million a year over four seasons to tempt Hulk, the Brazil striker, to London as the European champions continue a comprehensive revamp of their squad.
The 25-year-old, at present with Porto, has agreed a deal that will earn him about £135,000 a week with representatives acting on behalf of Roman Abramovich and has intimated to Chelsea, as revealed by The Times last week, that he is prepared to submit a transfer request to the Portuguese club to force a move.
Chelsea are yet to agree a fee with Porto and are thought to have set a ceiling of about £30 million for the transfer — taking the total cost of the deal to £58 million, as well as a lucrative bonus scheme — although Porto remain adamant that they will not countenance his departure for less than £38 million
The push to sign both Hazard and Hulk — who would function as wide players in the 4-2-3-1 formation Torres favours — suggest that the Russian owner intends to be true to his word.
