In the summer they sold Hazard, Aina, Luiz, Kalas, Hector, Bakayoko's loan fee was almost £3m etc probably goes a long way to keep them good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory, that £100m loss included at least and maybe more £60m in profit on transfers. As in without it, £160m and more. Not looked at Chelsea finances in depth though, not for a while. Return to CL will have helped too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Return to CL will have helped too. Haven't looked at which accounts the transfers above would have gone into. Then got to account as to who will likely leave this summer, Lampard wants Kepa gone, if Werner joins probably again limits Hudson-Odoi's chances with Werner able to play wide as well if needed so he could be off as well. Rumour Jorginho wants to go to Juve to join Sarri again, Giroud going to be happy with another striker? Another £8m or so there potentially even with 1 year left.

Good points, yeah after what you say think they'll be fine but potentially one to keep half an eye on. Lot of saleable assets there as you say!

mozo Posted June 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 Yeah seems strange that Chelsea could swoop, when Liverpool, with their huge recent income, are tentative. For Chelsea, an attacking quartet of Mount, Pulisic, Werner and Ziyech (with Tammy off the bench) does have a lot of potential. Rumours abound that Havertz speaking with Liverpool and Man U.

Mr Popodopolous Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 Wow at that agent fee though- £12m! Not quite the Raiola fee from the Pogba deal but still...All across 5 years tbh, wages, fee, agent fees- amortised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozo Posted June 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 Yeah Johnson has said they're looking at it. I think it helps the viewer more than the player. When Leverkusen went ahead (and were playing well) I thought the title race was still alive, but you may as well give Bayern the title now. They deserve it.

sephjnr Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 In other news, Mario Balotelli has been sacked from Brescia for repeatedly failing to turn up to training, despite Balotelli repeatedly citing COVID fears as a reason. On the one hand, Balotelli. On the other hand, Massimo Cellino. The disastermind behind Leeds becoming a gibbering wreck of a club, who also wants to buy Birmingham City.

Without doubt he came from a difficult start in life, but was also blessed with phenomenal talent. He's played for some of the biggest clubs in England, Italy and France and scored against England in a world cup. And yet it seems like his career has just been one self-imposed disappointment after another. He never really had a prime. It would be nice for him just to find a spiritual home and enjoy football before his career comes to an end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The standard of the last couple of games I've watched has been excellent. Dortmund are a great watch. Masterclass in playing 3 4 3. If they kept their players together for 2 years they would overhaul Bayern but it won't happen. Not just Sancho and Haaland but a number of their other younger players look top class. I always thought we could have gone 3 4 3 this season to accomodate both Eliasson and Palmer in the side but he only ever tried it at West Brom which was a disaster.

elhombrecito Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 La Liga starts tomorrow with the Seville derby. And there is a game every single day for the next 40 days. Don't forget that La Liga TV is free for a month. It's then £5.99 a month, but you can cancel any time. Just sign up here: https://www.premiersports.com/subscribenow Apparently, the games will all be shown with fake crowd noise, as well as having a crowd superimposed into the stadium, so that should be interesting! And for those of us interested in La Liga 2, all games are still free on YouTube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The writer likens the two clubs to having Newcastle and Sunderland in the same city, the passion for football is immense. Interesting fact, after Barca, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, Real Betis are the 4th best supported club in Spain, over 50k season ticket holders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally the only thing I have ever known Real Betis for is Joaquin who in the early 00s was heralded as a wing wizard. He went to Valencia and he didn't ever became that world class superstar that people expected. I think he went back to Betis and might even still be there.

Stayed in Seville last year, and this was the view from my hotel room... It's a huge stadium! Unfortunately, due to redevelopment work at Sevilla's stadium, I managed to visit in the one week of the season where both teams were away, so didn't get to watch a game!
