Armando Broja's loan move to Southampton is set to be confirmed in the next 48 hours. [via @JackRosser_]

Tammy Abraham will not join Atalanta this summer. AS Roma have entered the race amid interest from Arsenal. [@DiMarzio via @Route1futbol]

Romelu Lukaku is currently carrying out the first part of the medical examinations at Columbus Clinic in Milan ahead of his switch to #Chelsea. [via @InterCM16]


Abraham and Zouma don't want to leave until after winning the Super cup, can't blame them though.

Will be lovely to see Broja get minutes in the top flight. Southampton should be a good loan for him.

Meanwhile I guess Lukaku is basically a done deal.

Dortmund will be very foolish to do this.

RLC news?

Nothing concrete, but i feel we will loan him, however if we fail to sign any midfielder he may stay, someone would have to replace Gilmour.

Imagine after rejecting 130M from Chelsea
In fact Na stupidity

“A player like Lukaku, who has been having great seasons and was a champion in Italy, is certainly a player who would contribute a lot. Any player who adds value [to the team] would be worth it. Let’s see what happens next.”

-Jorginho

any quote to your claim?

"Chelsea have approached Barcelona over a shock deal to sign Ansu Fati, according to reports in Spain.

With a deal for Romelu Lukaku seemingly close, Thomas Tuchel is now turning his attention to players who can supply chances for the Belgian.

And as per Todofichajes, the Blues have already made their move to bring teenage winger Fati to Stamford Bridge.

The Spain international has already been the subject of strong links with Manchester United. However, the Red Devils’ signing of Jadon Sancho means they won’t be in the market any time soon for Fati.

However, the Spanish outlet claims there is a good chance that 18-year-old Fati could be on the move this summer. As per Todofijaches, Fati is unhappy with the terms of the new contract put before him at Barcelona."

If they sell Haaland to Bayern next season then we can as well say Dortmund is the certified feeder team of Bayern...

I don't think barca will sell that lad.

Stop talking rubbish. Kwadwo Asamoah was signed in 2018 before Conte and left in 2020. The rest are players they got for next to nothing never with the intention to sell but to make up the squad, with an amortised cost they expected to bear till the end of contract. Reason they got these players is they didn't have money. Only a mumu will be expecting Chelsea to recoup transfer fee for Thiago Silva.

I have laid out Ashley Young's yearly cost for you. Tell me where you can get such a cost in football. Aston Villa who have now signed Ashley Young are not stüpid. They need a squad player to cover their fullbacks and have factored Ashleys cost till retirement.

Your knowledge on cost management is abysmal.

Are amortized costs not relevant when balancing books? Inter backed Conte with the little they have, signed players they hoped he'd utilize and now, Conte is no where to be found.

How does one even accurately amortize cost in football? Isn't amortization premised on the useful life of an assest? How then can you estimate a players usefulness?

kolarov was signed and later Young was signed too.. Young plays as a wing back. Where is Conte that Ashley Young was amortized for?


Darmian was signed and Hakimi was signed too.

Brozovic and Naingolan were at the midfield base and Conte brought in Barella, Vidal, Sensi, Erickson... All midfielders

If another manager comes and he decides that Darmian, Young, Kolarov, Vidal, even Sanchez are not useful, does your amortization still apply? Not to mention other numerous sundry signings he also made. Most of these players' usefulness is directly hinged on Conte as another manager might not know what to do with them.. The ones that could have been useful to another manager are being sold.

It isn't bad to sign players on free, but using it as an excuse to sign fringe players like Kolarov, Darmian, Vidal, Sanchez, and using amortization to euphemize it is madness. Imagine amortizing something that is useless.

Tell me how many Ashley Youngs Villa signed because of amortization?

MorataFC:
I don't think barca will sell that lad.

Wasn't he even injured? Why sign a player coming from a long term injury when there's no guarantee he'll ever rediscover his form.

Griffon:


There's every possibility that the emboldened terms are just new to that guy you dey argue with.

Lol ... Help me tell your master that you that there is nothing like factoring cost... You can only factor debt..

Stop assuming things about people you know nothing about

it's better to compare Havertz to Ziyech, because it's obvious Mount's far ahead

PSG also have debts of their own running in hundreds of millions and look to off load a few players, as they seek to sign Messi and possibly renew Mbappe. Madrid hope the debt is enough to convince PSG to sell Mbappe to them, but it doesn't seem to be the case...

Mauro Icardi, Ander Herrera, Idrissa Gueye, Rafinha, Abdou Diallo and Thilo Kehrer are among 10 players up for sale at PSG.

I use to say it we may hate some players because they're not scoring or for other reasons but thier indirect contributions to team makes them soecial yo the team and the coach...

that guy made lots of assists last season and also made runs which opened up spaces for Harvertz and Ziyech last season
His speed is an asset to that team just that he needs to work on his finishing

What rubbish is this?

The length of the players contract is the amortisation period.

Who sent you to quantify "useful" in this case?

Stop arguing over your head.

Aside your abysmal understanding of accounting, I'm failing to understand your gripe on the football side.

Someone has a cheap Kolarov and bought a cheap Young and used these two old cargoes to win the league and you are talking rubbish about the players not having sell on value.

Someone had a cheap Darmian, was given money to buy an expensive Hakimi, used them to win the league, then flipped Hakimi for good profit, and you are still moaning.

Guy, just keep quiet. You have no point.
