Finally found out why Chelsea are still doing the long as fuck contracts despite UEFA's new rules and it's hilarious
Turns out, the PL doesn't have the same rules yet, so by doing it, since they're not in Europe, they get the same benefit as before.
hahahahahahaha Chelsea aren't in Europe :)
Are they expecting never to qualify for the next 8 years? It doesn't add up though. I think they're just ripping the band-aid off and saying we'll take the fine or whatever and load up on young talent now. Ideally if they hoard enough young talent they can even ride out a transfer ban.
That is a problem for future Chelsea, fuck those guys
That makes sense. Now I just want to know why Lavia and Caiceido both prefer Chelsea over Liverpool. I guess cold hard cash and that's it? But it's not like Liverpool would be paying them in Mars bars and recycled copper piping or something.
I'd rather be part of a decent rebuild project where I could become a lynchpin in midfield, than be clueless Todd Boehly's latest import buy in a misfit system.
