So Wan-Bisaka out and deLigt & Mazraoui in for net £35M+8.5M add-ons

Gambling! Bayern must be ecstatic. Offloaded Gravenberch, de Light and Mazraoui for big bucks

 

[Red Bird]

Where do they get their $$$ from?
Is PFF circumvented by 7-8 year contracts?

What’s with Murdryk, then?

As for Man U, that’s got to be some good business, surely? Still have Maguire, mind.

Bayern shouldn’t have bought Gravenberch and de Ligt in the first place.

I no longer have an opinion on if this is a good deal

That’s absolute nuts.

Amusingly… they’ve all been shite signings too.

All been shite, yeah I suppose in hindsight we can have a laugh about it…..except half of them us fans were drooling over the prospect of signing. Thankfully, thankfully their club hierachy is just as clueless on football as the junkies we have.

 

[gene hughes]

He’s accumulating prospects. Tying them into long term deals. He’s acting like it’s baseball. It’s bizarre.

 

[KopRed]

What else is he supposed to be doing with his billions?

In a normal society, paying taxes.

 

[Modo]

At least they've managed to sign a few players.

Understatement of the year.

Maybe he also thinks they need an active roster the size American Football teams have.

 

[Holle]

Somebody should tell him that he doesn't need 43 punters then.

Cole Palmer now has a new 9 year contract.. NINE!

 

[Beamrider]

That’s absolute nuts.

Amusingly… they’ve all been shite signings too.

I was thinking this the other day. Is there a single Chelsea player you would take in our team? Even Enzo and Moises have been shite for them.
And if you do think of one you would take, then ask yourself whether you would buy that guy for the price they paid.
Madness.

 

[Beamrider]

Cole Palmer now has a new 9 year contract.. NINE!

This was something I mentioned the other day. Part of the argument for these longer contracts would be that, in theory, it helps them to keep their wage bill down, the theory being that if a player does better than expected, you still pay him at the rate you valued his potential at (although if he's shit you end up over-paying him for ages, like Winston Bogarde).
But the reality is the second a player over-performs, he and his agent come cap in hand for a new deal, and his wages go up to market rate. If you don't give him the new deal, he agitates for a move and will get it. And you don't get a bigger fee because he's got 6 years left on his deal as opposed to 2.
For a case study, see Suarez, Luis.

I’ve never ever seen a manager being indugled to go after his former players to such degree. This feels wrong.

Its disgusting.

 

[Brizzle]

Hendo next?

 

[tomasjj]

It is weird, but what’s not to like

 

[rurikbird]

It’s a bit stalker-like. These players all moved on with their lives and careers, spread around different clubs and countries - all of a sudden their former boss starts collecting them one by one. Why? What does he want to do with them?
