I'm wondering if they'll try to use Broja to get Toney. Broja would suit the way Brentford play as well.
Yup, full on ringpiece.So, like, Matt Law is just a Chelsea mouthpiece, then?

I don’t know - they sold Havertz and Mount to other EPL teams for 60M+ each. Maybe they think United or Arsenal will be idiots again. Worth a shot.They must be fucking mad more like. The days of clubs paying over the odds for the likes of Broja are over. Do they think they’re the only club struggling the PSR/FFP?
The top clubs won’t want him, the second tier probably don’t need him, and the mid to low end teams can’t afford him. The chances of a European club paying that are laughable too.
They were at least both regular starters and full internationals.I don’t know - they sold Havertz and Mount to other EPL teams for 60M+ each. Maybe they think United or Arsenal will be idiots again. Worth a shot.
Not sure who’s gonna be buying him if this what they value him at.
That they are getting desperate to find the cash?Look behind the article please
They need to raise 50 million and they know they are not getting that for broja unless somthing fishy goes on the article is in reflection for what they will sell Connor for . We won’t push it like I said they gotta pick up the phone we have other targets anyway for the moment we are pursuingThat they are getting desperate to find the cash?
Sounds like they are screwed no matter what. As it’s impossible to see any club (especially us) even considering 40m for Gallagher. Perhaps we would consider something around 35m, but that doesn’t help Chelsea raise the full 50m.They need to raise 50 million and they know they are not getting that for broja unless somthing fishy goes on the article is in reflection for what they will sell Connor for .

I'm not sure about that, Broja and Chalobah are not that great.Nah they won't have to sell all of them imo.
I reckon they sell Broja, Chalobah and Maatsen between now and the summer. Gallagher will end up signing a new deal imo.
They're confident because teams like arsenal pay them 65m for kai fucking havertzThe only team stupid enough to pay Chelsea £50 mil for Broja is, well, Chelsea.
That's it, no Europe this season and probably next. Lower TV money last season and this one.I did a big post about how we are probably fine for FFP earlier in this thread with a lot of guestimates and there are even more unknowns for Chelsea and we have no way of knowing how close they are sailing to the wind until they tell us
If anybody is interested:
With amortisation (marking down the 'asset' value of a player in equal portions until their contract expires or they are sold) a player bought for £40m creates an accounting 'loss' of £8m per season over a 5 year contract (because they are worth zero when the contract expires). If they sign a new contract after 3 years then the remaining value is spread across the years of the new contract. So to keep it simple if after 3 years they re-sign for 4 years that is £16m spread across 4 years = £4m loss per season. If they sell the player instead the money is recorded in that year's profit and loss but is the transfer fee minus the remaining value. So if they sell the player for £25m they record a £9m 'profit'. Conversely, academy players had no initial transfer fee so their 'asset' value is zero. Sell them for £25m and you record it all as profit in the current season. Remember that Chelsea got £55m for Mason Mount and quite a wedge for others
Obviously Chelsea also signed a number of players on 8 year deals (before the rules were changed) so the annual loss on new signings is lower. Keeping track of that across 25+ players over multiple years + their wages is quite a decent spreadsheet by itself. Before you even talk about non-transfer revenues and other costs. And then...after all that .. they're actually allowed to lose £105m over any 3 year period.
So it could be that they think they'll be fine this season and it only hits in 2025 or 2026 when good figures (profit or small losses) drop off the back of the 3 year calculation.
Or could be that they need to make £20 / £30 / £40m in the first half of 2024 to stay within the rules. Impossible to say unless you have all of the numbers
One thing is for sure, their lack of European football will be doing them no favours so it's hard to see them making more significant signings without selling first
They've recalled Cesare Casadei from Leicester (who are top of the Championship). He's played 21 games for them. Thats proper game time and experience at a high level. They are either loaning him out to a PL club OR need him back in readiness for someone's exit..... Watch this space.
