AshVilla Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 1 hour ago, JPAngel said: Add Neto (who is class) to the picture below that's been shared already and you could make an argument for the worst value for money squad in Premier League history. The quality vs cost average of the squad is so deeply wrong. They look a bit short at RB. Reece James always injured so it's just Gusto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 BBC is now saying the deal for Neto was only £54 million. Thats a quicker depreciation than a new car pulling out of the showroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 He would be their 46th squad player. Nothing to see here. Totally normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember steve claridge's autobiography when he said pre-season training was like something out of Zulu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan95 Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Neto is a very good signing IMO. If they'd made more signings like that rather than unproven gambles they'd be doing a lot better the last 2 seasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Wolves supporting friend of mine said on hearing Wolves have sold him, "good, they can have him, he's made of blancmange". He's a good signing when he plays. (And yes, I know, I need new friends).

MaVilla Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Neto is a superb player. injured a lot, but superb. injuries wont matter much at chelsea tho i guess, one of the other 5419 players there could fill in i guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Became they sell huge volumes of players for good money every year. they have sold 100m of players already this summer, and will sell a few more. 280m of sales last year, 70m and 155m the years before that. its a suped up version of what we are doing.

But they can only name 17 people in their squad that aren't home grown, and then only 8 more that are. They won't have any more players available to them than any other team in the league. Obviously average price of those players will be much higher, but I'm not sure their ability is matching the amount they cost in a lot of cases.

FLVillan Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 I think Boehly has failed to make the distinction between the two types of football. He's attempting to reach the magic number of 53 on the "roster." I read somewhere that they now have 8 goalkeepers.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do, although the 8th they just signed for 20m is spending the season back on loan at the club they bought him from.

But what you haven't said is...when we sell its generally first team players. They are not. So it's not the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think Chelsea have found ways around PSR, so it doesn't affect them. They basically sold two hotels near the club which helped them and let's just be honest, PSR isn't fit for purpose in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
