[Football] Mudryk and his 8.5 years

[Hamilton]

Chelsea have signed Mudryk on a 8.5 year contract.

8.5 years!

Are they mad or is he Pele?

 

[Guinness Boy]

I believe what they're actually doing is amortising the transfer fee over a huge number of years to dodge FFP.

Sounds like a financial fiddle, amortising the fee over a much longer period ?

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

If true, then they've clearly gone head-mental

Good point.

Still, if he’s pants, then they are carrying that wage.

Some DULLARD will be along soon to explain

 

[Stat Brother]

Winstanley must have burned the midnight oil unearthing such an unknown talent and attracting him to the club with buttons and yarn.

 

[Kosh]

Maybe they’ve calculated it’ll take him that long to get a decent haircut ?

 

[Jim in the West]

They’ve also bought the new centre back Badiashile (sp?) on a 7.5 year deal. It’s their way of maximising their spending power, whilst staying within FFP. It’s not a fiddle, but potentially risky if they don’t adapt to the EPL.

Pretty short term thinking if all they care about is dodging FFP. The additional years of wages commitment somewhat offsets the benefit of amortizing the fee particularly if he turns out to be shit. Quite a risk.

I’m sure that northern based chap
I think some refer to as DULLARD can explain this in more detail
But I think this sums it up perfectly

Why not sell us Colwill to help balance the books?

Or to get into ballet

Or score.

 

[Eeyore]

8.5 years ? He must have done something really bad.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Massive investment in someone whose only played in a farmers league.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

If I was a player I don't think I'd sign a contract for that long. It's too much of a risk of being tied to a club that could leave you on the bench or just go through a long period of transition/relative irrelevance . Careers are fairly short and he's tied to them until he's 30, so all of his best years.

 

[Me and my Monkey]

A prison sentence for the lad.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Maybe a chance that other clubs will just slavishly fall into line and start offering similar?
