I make it just shy of 280 million that Chelsea have spent this winter
Largely it has to be said on unproven players.
Does Todd Boehly have undiagnosed bipolar because this is the kind of reckless debt accruing spending that someone who is in the high/manic phase would be undertaking
I think the whole footballing world is united in hope that it backfires tremendously. Imagine having that many unhappy players stuck on 8 year contracts.
Arteta OUT!
A factor for me is I don't really football these days. I mean, I know most of our squad and obviously I know the bigger players at the bigger clubs. But beyond that. I've never heard of Caicedo. I guess I was a bit excited about him by proxy because of some of you guys and other things I'd heard about him, but I don't follow it enough these days to really know who most of these guys are. Compare on contrast when in the wake of the 1992 Euro's I remember telling my dad with breathless excitement that we'd just signed the Danish bloke who scored the winner
There were certainly disappointments in this window, we twice failed to get big deals over the line. But the positive is there were clear back up plans and overall I'm content enough with the business we've done. Again, I don't really know who these guys are but from things I've read, and Trossard looks handy from the glimpses I've seen.
Sometimes it’s easy to forget we don’t have a bottomless pit of cash like other clubs do. If we can’t get what we want then the next best thing is to be smart and creative in the market and I think we’ve done that. We needed depth and we’ve added better options in light areas.
Will it be enough to take us to the title? Who knows but even with a Mudryk or Caicedo on board I don’t think there would have been any guarantees because of the fact City are just very good and won’t go away.
The main thing is that we didn’t make the same mistake as last year by leaving the squad wafer thin.
I’m sure we’ll come again with the big money for marquee signings in the summer anyway.
I work as a facility manager and thought the same thing
Chelsea have spent €611.49m this season and recouped €67.83m
Yes - with you on this. To HCZ's points about whether Edu is lacking in getting transfers over the line, it obvious why people are questioning the club, but I think its unfair for fans (not HCZ) to judge too harshly on the ones who got away. We are not Chelsea who had their debt wiped by an oligarch, and therefore have unlimited funds simply to outbid a competitor at the last - or to pay such stupid money that a fellow EPL cub will sell a prized asset. Clearly the club thought that there was an opportunity to get both marquee signings, and tried. But there must have been a red line with Mudryk and Arsenal can't do anything when faced with a Brighton that was simply not prepared to sell.
As others say, at least we had Plan B's that were clearly considered - albeit underwhelming ones - and our powder remains dry for the Summer. For me this shows that the club has learned from previous mistakes, while treading the difficult line between aspiration and common sense. If we win, or are even narrowly pipped for the league, noone sensible will question our January business.
