Season long loan for me to help with the 60 odd fixtures we expect/ hope for. Means not having to rush Enciso back or over play him.6 month loan until Enciso is back? Pep does his mate Roberto a favour...

Chelsea truly have ruined football
True, but they are continuing to hoover up players at all ages now. I know City have done this too, but it feels far more blatant from Chelsea.Incorrect, since Chelsea new ownership we have taken about £200 million off them and we have become significantly better and they are significantly worse

Pep said earlier in the window - he either stays / plays or gets sold. No loans.6 month loan until Enciso is back? Pep does his mate Roberto a favour...
spot on, we saw exactly this with the cucurella deal. city spend big, but like us only do so when absolutely convinced, and will not exceed their decided value of the player.I actually agree with something that Pep said a week or two back, that if City behaved like Chelsea, they’d be slaughtered in the media for trashing FFP and throwing their cash around to the detriment of the game. I know it’s unfashionable to stand up for City but they are far more restrained than Chelsea and others. Pep would never have gazumped Liverpool on Caceido for instance. They put a value on a player and rarely change it much. Yes, they have loads of money but they spend it wisely.
That’s true but the downside of Chelsea’s approach is the difficulty for the player to get a clear run into their first team, which we can offer.Chelsea are learning, rather than buy players from us for high transfer fees, they are looking to buy players that we are linked with, to try and get that player for a lower transfer fee, before we develop the player further and add on the Chelsea tax.
It's at the point where Chelsea can't even keep track of the players they do have:True, but they are continuing to hoover up players at all ages now. I know City have done this too, but it feels far more blatant from Chelsea.
Thats their transfer policy now Winstanley has lost access to the algorithm...... just try and find out who we're after and hijack.It seems mad that Chelsea want to sign so many of our players and transfer targets. Have they given up on a top 4 finish for now?
